- We take a break from the real world to do a quick review on the Ferrari 488 Spider. Today companies like McLaren, Lamborghini and Ferrari still command the most attention in the super and hyper car kingdom. But with an obscene price tag why would someone put this on the shopping list?

From the extreme frustration Mark experiences driving the Ferrari in commuting traffic, to his confession when the road opens up that this car would cost him his license, it’s hard not to come to the conclusion he’d be having more fun in a Mazda MX-5.
This is why i always say, more than 500hp in a road car is a waste. 300-400 is the sweet spot. Preferably with a manual transmission.
Leave the 650hp DCTs for track day.
I subscribed because you deliver something very special and low-key on YT. Keep it up and don't ever change.
That's my reason as well. Oh and the car reviews as well. ;)
Wow, "double digit speeds" in a Ferrari (1:46). Livin' on the edge!
Steve G hahahahahahaha notices that. Shieeeeet 50kmph
Sounds like something he would say. I like that about His analogies.
He must have meant triple digits ......
The first decent American car show presenter I've seen. This is a field dominated by brits. But you are terrific sir.
Excellent video! I spent a tiny fraction of what this car costs on a loaded 981 Cayman S with PDK and sports exhaust and I reached the point where nearly every time I drove it I had to restrain myself or end up in traffic school again. After about 6 months of ownership I realized I was tired of dealing with traffic or being LIDAR sniped. In a relatively short period of ownership the car lost too much of its original appeal to where the car sat in the garage unused for weeks at a time until I finally got rid of it. It took owning an amazing sounding naturally aspirated flat 6 mid engine Porsche to realize that owning a performance sports car was meaningless and why I finally understand why its more fun driving a much slower car fast.
You deserve way more subscribers!
yeah I guess eventually people will find his channel and it will get big.....theyre very high quality videos
He's gotten big pretty quickly. I subbed to him when the first frs vid came out. It's been climbing a lot higher lately.
Thanks, although never really worried about that.
We thought about that a bit, rather have a small group of cool people following than a million trolls etc.
The FRS videos were so involved which one did you find originally? The video stuff is growing for sure compared to where it was, but just want to focus on doing good work and keeping the real people following happy, its less about numbers.
I really appreciate the high production quality of these videos. They're just really enjoyable, really lovely. I hope they're paying the bills and you keep making them for a long time to come.
I drove one at a track event and it really is such an amazing sound to it! You first hear the Ferrari sound, and then as the turbos kick in, it sounds like a jet taking off literally!
"When you're at...DOUBLE digit speeds, which you would be at...all the time."
So beautifully put...haha
Christ listen to the shifts..so fast you can't even hear the rev transition! We're talking milliseconds here. Why isn't my 2014 Ford Fiesta DCT like that? lol
Every car should shift that fast or you get your money back.
"Why isn't my 2014 Ford Fiesta DCT like that?" Thanks That was funny. lol. You do have a point.
It's basically a Formula One gearbox.
Because it's a Ford? ;)
Your reviews and filming are absolutely the best out there. You truly have a gift. Keep up the fantastic work and look forward to more. And it was great seeing you film near my home!
One of the best super car driving/review videos I've seen in a long time. You definitely bring an experiential real world take as seen from an automotive enthusiast that makes the flat-screen experience almost visceral.
This is my favorite final thoughts of yours to date. Loved not only how you looked upon this car and what are the 1% vs us getting for their money but also your philosophical point of view.
your reviews are bloody damn excellent !!!!
Just found your channel through Nick Murray and I am impressed with the quality of your reviews. I have watched 3 so far and they are spot on. I am subscribing!
one of the best car reviews i have ever watched, its really different from others, it just delivers a unique message
Just came across this today. What a great reviewer! ---- On another note, today I heard my first 488 Spider ( In TDF blue I think) accelerate right in front of me! I always heard negatives about the sound, but this was anything but negative. No 458 highs, but it had is own presence and authority! I was very favorably impressed.
I love how mellow this guy is. It's my personality type. Good job bro. Video down to the point and well delivered.
This channel should be way bigger than it is. I loved this review. Great job.
Since I discover savagegeese channel I immediately subscribed,
those car reviews have a lot of added values and they are very
different from other channels, keep on doing those reviews,
they are wonderful to watch.
As for the Ferrari 488 Spider review;
That is one of the best reviews I have ever seen,
that is such an intelligent review, not dealing with 0-100,
that is a review to watch several times and then of course buy the car.
love the F430 style rear intakes so much, glad they brought it back
Short review format...16 minutes later...LOL
Keep up the good work man, love the channel!
Loved the video! Your editing is fantastic man.
by far my favorite car reviewer. this guy and driveopolis are the best car reviewers on the internet period.
What an excellent review! This guy is really smart and brings up great points about all aspects of the Ferrari 488. I have watched hundreds of these reviews and I like this on the best
Nice local footage of lake zurich!!! watched hundreds of Ferrari vids, nice to see one done locally!
Great honest review. No-brainer to sub - keep up great work.
I would LOVE to have traffic like that around here! Out in Los Angeles area, you're lucky to break 35mph on some days. And no room for short bursts of speed. Oddly, this is the same area of the country where Ferraris are mostly commonly found. Nice review, as always.
Maybe one of the best video i ve ever watched! Thank you for your hard work to present us this video!
Awsome review as ALWAYS!! Congrats and keep up the good work!!!
That is by far the best, most honest, brain-driven video of a Ferrari I've seen on the net. And I've seen many. Most others drift their ass off or go flat out with those things over a track, which is something a lifelong fan of the brand would never ever do, because you wouldn't wanna put so much stress to the chassis, the tires, the suspension , the brakes. You'd have to pay for every mile a ton of money and it would diminish the respect you have for the car. Those 1-percenters, they're different. They have no respect, not for the car, not for the brand,not for other people and most of the time not even for themselves if they were honest. So your review is that of a car-enthusiast really diggin' in the problem of having one of these and being responsible for maintaining such a treat. Thanks and a happy new year 2018!
+1. .. Great 488 V8t video. .. Man,,, I could listen to that Ferrari sound track all afternoon. .. Varoooom....
I'm really delighted to know that my Fiat 500 Abarth takes the exact same oil as this thing.
Man, I did not expect a reply.
I'm jealous of your house prices, and I thoroughly enjoy your channel.
+Bernie D i read every comment fyi. Nice to hear you like most of the content.
>Only had ~2 hours with the car
Still pretty good review though
CONGRATS!! You made it on Road and Track!!!!
He did? I saw Matt Farah there who is a very effective writer that is not a direct imitation of his Smoking Tire Reviews. Quite a literate guy.
High quality review, video quality, and editing.
How can someone master the art of being so calm and say quotes like “you can go to Walmart and by the same shit”. Job well done sir. Job well done.
beautifully done as always!
I loved that drone shot at 7.26 and hit subscribe button right after...
Amazing insight about the 488 that had not been seen anywhere else: feels more like a true shared emotion than a review ... I love it .. Absolutely do ... ^^
My first car was a Chrysler LeBaron convertable! I appreciate the shout-out :D
I really like your final thoughts
Wow. Now I think I know what it's like to drive a super car -- thanks to your review! Thanks.
Wonderful review, thanks. You said what I was thinking, that this is too restraining. If I have power, I want to use it! I always go for cars with high sensation of speed and low power.
People need to get to a certain age to appreciate your review. Me in my late 40's totally agree with you, it's not a car for everyday driving.
The great thing (beyond everything) about the PT Cruiser Convertible is super-handy carrying handle. How many production cars offer this kind of bath tub mobility.
Truly the GameCube of the automotive world
Subbed. Been seeing your videos for a minute now, decided that I HAVE to be subscribed.
Just found your channel-
I love your content and the way you review cars. This video I especially loved, I drove the 458, and your perspective on the 488 was really interesting.
Thank you for the great content!
Great vid, lots of reality. Great ending skit.
Enjoy your YT videos so much and thanks for sharing !
Just a thought:
You should switch the mode to sport or race rather than slippery road to appreciate the car on a regular road.
Given your practical nature, I think the new NSX will really appeal to you. I hope you get the chance to review one. Great videos, lovely production values.
great job with the engine audio! it sounds very real
This is some high quality automotive journalism
A great and balanced review. Well done. I'm growing to like the 488 although I prefer the overall look and sound of the 458. Just need to start saving now! :)
It's the best review I've seen so far
Love the honesty.
Love your commentary and perspective. Also wondering whether you should blank out the speedo in your videos...
just subscribed after the gt350r vid and this. awesome work!
Hello! Your summing up is brillant!!! Good luck! Best Greetings from Poland!
totally cool opening music/sound.
excellent review.. kepp it up
Love the finale... Maybe one day!
Great review, as always. Saw your 4C review too. I know the 488 and 4C are miles apart, which car between the two gives more driving excitement and feedback on the street?
I like the camera panning work. Well done.
bro that last part almost had me teared up. someday.
Just subscribed. Really appreciate your take on my favorite Ferrari. I was able to drive the 488 Spider around the Ferrari factory in Maranello and it was magical. The entire town is Ferrari and yet, just a 1/2 hour away, Sant'Agata Bolognese is all Lamborghini. These cars are fantasies come true so I agree, if you lived your fantasy everyday it might just get boring. Thank goodness for rich people buying these but at my level... I'd rather have a house. :)
As a fellow video editor, I admire your work ethic and effort to get these quality videos! Great review, great cinematography, and great editing!(Although I saw some mistakes here and there :P)
Keep up the great production!
Another great video SG.
That speedometer.... holy shit. That must be an amazing experience to accelerate that fast.
Way better than I expected. Cheers.
Great video and quick review. Turdbowski can stay in Alaska.
Good review....thankyou for not doing another truck. I would like to see a review on the c7 z51 vette or the grand sport.....
+mustclime If I can get it I will do it, would love to drive it.
Fantastic video!
I prefer the sound of the old engine
me too
Alain Sadun 488 is more GT car than 458.
@@alexmartinez280 oh yeah? where do you put your luggage then?
My first time watching one of your videos... I like you bro!
I remember being a passenger on a Chrysler LeBaron convertible and the trim fell off when I put my arm out. The owner said don't worry that stuff happens all the time in this car. I was 17 and didn't know how cool my JDM cars were at the time
Very entertaining and well executed!
Extremely high quality channel. I don't know why I've only discovered you now.
Big props.
Luv and Peace.
You make really good videos, thank you!
nailing that rev limiter!
Outstanding video...best super ca review I have ever seen! Better than Schmee reviews
John Landy schmee does reviews ?
I love these super cars but I'll never have any desire to own one. It would feel like owning a cheetah that I kept in my 4,000 sq ft backyard. My brain couldn't tolerate the incongruity and the enjoyment of ownership would be gone.
atl3630 Totally agree. I have the desire but its not a very usable car on the road. On public roads the best space to put all the power down is on highways, but then other problem comes in, highways are not twisty roads nor tracks. Its always long wide corners, not a big variety of corners like most of us like... These cars are getting very overpowered to be explored.
In some ways what i feel is that the cars are much safer on one side, but on the other are much faster, so i guess we're coming back to the oldschool balance in terms of safety.
People wont die from crash at 60kmh anymore. Now die from crashes at 160kmh and above, not generally speaking of course.
gt 86
Not me. I get what you saying but not me.
what a great video, really well done and professional, +1sub. My father has an FF and it's too fast I don't really want to drive it i'd end up either dead or with no license, can't imagine what it'd be like with this
You are a regular Joe... You tell it like it is.
Amazing review truthful insightful.
+Carlos OneSixScale CLC Club Thanks we love cars but love reality too
How many times is this dude gonna bounce of the limiter. Jesus. Good review!
Great video, well edited.
Love your reviews!
Do you think you could get your hands on an LFA through your Lexus connections?
Very well said and described! Subbed.
Pure Genius... and, the car is neat-o, too. Tell me, does it have an infotainment center?
Score: 9.3
I was at the Ferrari dealership today looking at the 488 GTB and the spider. It's a beautiful sport car, the design is a work of art. I have a GT3RS, and I found the Ferrari is more exotic with state of art engineering from Ferrari. What a machine!
🦅🦅🇺🇸
+Frank Kwok I just did a back to back on track with GT3RS and 488. The GT3RS is a far better driving car. But of course the Ferrari has wow factor.
savagegeese I guess that the 488 Pista is more into that hardcore type of driving that we find on the GT3RS. Havent drove the 488 but as i saw in some reviews including yours, its seems a well refined sport drivers car but not an hardcore experience. I guess the 488 Pista is the answer to that compromise.
Good points raised
best review on a Ferrari ,,,, wow,,, best down to earth review on a Ferrari !
Really enjoyed this video. This was my first one from your channel and you really made some good points. Did not like so much what you said about the 458 though since it's my dream car.
+Raritytuber I have another video I did not publish about 488 on track. But while the 488 is faster, I personally like the 458 better and would rather own it.
7 Year Maintenance is included in the price of the car for all 2012 model year Ferrari’s and newer. It is not an option you purchase. The plan followed the car as well.
I believe your opinion is spot on. I've driven an F430 on a track, they're AMAZING cars to drive. However, you get out thinking..well I could buy/build a track car for 35k, a converible for 30k, and a -> b for 45k, and still have tons of money left over, and get the same driving experience and more flexibility.
keep it up goose man you are the best
let me know when you need some camera help.. haha .. Great video, I noticed the horns were built into the steering wheel sides that seems rather odd.
Lovely car beautiful sound genius piece of engineering love it ❤👌
Great video! Very cool.
