This is going to be controversial but I think I agree with the review (apart from the fact that I know a 488 is marginally faster than a 458!?)

If you have not driven the 488 on the track you won't really notice the differences. On the track if you can drive a bit the 488 is a massive step up. These cars are far too fast to be driven properly on the road.

I also own a diesel range rover. You should come drive that and then drive my 488 to realise how ridiculous the deisel comment is.

The 458 is a great car, I can see why people would not upgrade to the 488 as it is so good, but that does not mean the 488 is not a better car and some of the comments in the video are quite frankly ridiculous.
Both these guys own these guys - i.e they both have a 488 and a 458 so although their views are their own they are in a good place to provide them IMHO. They infact own a whole lot of other cars too if you see their videos smile

A yearly service on a 458 would cost between £800-£1200 so not really bank breaking IMHO.

As they said - the 458 is now pretty much at the bottom of that depreciation curve. The only things that will make a difference to the prices now are mileage and spec. They may drop slightly but in the long run the only way is up IMHO.

488s are indeed dropping a lot in price - will be interesting to see what happens as the 458s are still strong - may come a time when you can choose a 458 or 488 at the same price hehe
