Worst 458 Spider review ever?

Okay so don't get me wrong, I really like Richard Bremner's writing, always have.

But if anyone at Autocar lets him near a video camera again they should be shot in the face:


It's quite a rare talent to make reviewing a 458 Spider sound like you're reviewing a Hyundai i20.

FYI use the "long link" under sharing options to get it to embed - fixed this one for ya

But yes, that one was pretty awful!

Hmm I wouldn't say EVERY other car publication... The new channels on YouTube from Motor Trend, Car and Driver, and Drive are pretty damn good. Especially Drive Chris Harris is the man.

Yes. That is one terrible video. Now go watch the 458 Spider on the Stelvio Pass to fix your mood

Exactly. I don't think it would be as bad had we not just watched the Jethro Bovingdon Car & Driver video which was fantastic.
