I’ve owned a lot of incredible cars over the years, but there’s one I keep coming back to: the Ferrari 458. So is it actually the BEST car ever made? Thanks to the incredible support from our viewers and customers, I was able to do something I never thought I’d do — buy back my old 458. And after getting behind the wheel again, I wanted to find out if this car really is as good as I remember.
In this video, I put the Ferrari 458 through my own test and rate it 1–10 in every category that I think matters: Style, Value, Performance, Desirability, Technology, Reliability, Maintainability, Fun Factor, Living with a 458, and how Time will affect the car overall. Does the last naturally aspirated V8 mid-engine Ferrari really check ALL the boxes? Is it a car you can actually own, maintain, enjoy, and still feel good about years from now?
I’ll also share some of my biggest 458 buying tips, what I’d look for before purchasing one, and some of the best alternatives if a 458 isn’t the right car for you. I’ve bought cars that are faster. I’ve owned cars that are newer. I’ve driven cars with more technology. But when you put everything together into one package… the Ferrari 458 might just be the closest thing to a perfect car I’ve ever owned. And after selling mine once, I think buying it back says a lot. So, does the Ferrari 458 actually score a perfect 10/10? Watch and find out.
