I can vouch for thaat report. I had a test drive in one and was really impressed. But it is an out and out supercar sports car with limited practicality, not easy to get in and out of, and definitely for sunny sundays and track days rather than touring the continent.
Excellent gearbox, better than Ferrari, and great ride, again better than Ferrari. The engine is powerful enough but no comparison noise wise with that in a 458 . I havent driven a 488 so I dont know what Ferrari's turbo engine is like.
I'd have one like a shot but it wouldnt fill the role of something more practical for SWMBO.
I'be bought an F type which does fill that role or would do if I had bought the coupe version - the roadster has laughable boot space but is really comfortable. Really comfortable, lovely looking and not yet another 911 whilst still bridging that sports car / GT car gap like the 911 does..
So why not have a look at a V8 F type coupe?
