Years later, this and the 458 reviews are still some of the best piece of reviewing from Clarkson and Top Gear. The filming, soundtrack and pacing all come together perfectly, and the way Clarkson talks about these cars, mixed with how they sound, makes them seem like what Ferraris are to people: perfect cars

458 best v8 but I love the 599 or enzo

I have been in a Ferrari F430 and I must say it`s one of the best feelings I`ve ever had. The launch control is immense!!

This guy does some real driving and real testing. Love it!!!

I loved this car when it came out. When James drove it in Sliver as a Convertible I was in love

I love this car, one of my favorite Ferrari's because they offer it in stick shift (the only way you should buy a supercar). Also, unlike other Ferrari's, this one doesn't require having the engine taken out in order to perform certain maintenance. Jeremy Clarkson makes this Ferrari review like no other, it's awesome!!

Thing i love about Top gear is that the footage is 15 years old but looks like it was made yesterday.

Saw one the other day, still sounds and looks great imo.

This is one of the all time best top gear review ever.

Really really awesome car. Just driven one. Really awesome. They said I was allowed to go 60km/h (I am 15:) ) but when I was at my second lap I went to 150 km/h. It accelerates like a beast.

I love my 430 Spider! I think the Enzo inspired back end looks awesome. Real shame that the 458 Spider also does not have the glass engine cover any more.

A few weekends ago got to drive an F430 and a Gallardo on the track. Honestly, the F430, which i drove first exceeded expectations. The sound was brilliant, the feel through the steering wheel, informative. It basically begged you to push it just a bit harder, and reassured you it could handle it (if you could). The Gallardo was super underwhelming. The gearbox, while not great on the F430, was crap. While in the Ferrari, in the corners it would grip and go, the Gallardo's tires would squeal and tell me I was at the cars limit. In a 40mph corner, the Ferrari was telling me that I could still go much faster, the Lambo was squealing and groaning. The understeer was shocking for a car of this caliber. This was my first ever Lambo, and my 2nd Ferrari. Honestly, I grew up with Lamborghini posters and screen savers. While I had an admiration for the "special" Ferraris (F40, Enzo etc), Lambos WERE the dream. After driving them both, I am a Ferrari Convert. My dreams have changed with experience, and my new goal (which is currently attainable within a few years if I keep my mind to it) is an F430 or 360 with that beautiful gates shifter (which I have tested once is the 355). Really, I got off track, but the point is this: Don't get stuck on the preconceived ideas of what a car should be like. I thought the Ferrari would be the poser, I just want to look cool car, and the Lambo was the actual driver's car that made you feel like you just harnessed the bull; when in reality, the opposite was true.

@JackNapier19

Nice experience. If you can, get a manual F430... such an epic car ! The 360 is a beautiful car but the front-end is not as nimble as the F430, the interior is dated, the chassis feels less sporty (it's not even more comfortable than the F430) and you have those damn timing belts whereas on the F430 it is a chain. Plus, I think the F430 looks better, it is more agressive especially from the rear with the huge diffuser.

JackNapier19 yeah, but 360 is cheaper 😂

"A Harrier jumpjet at the battle of Agincourt" - this is why Top Gear can't be replicated in Australia, the US, wherever; Jeremy and Co. bring so much cultural significance and knowledge into what they do on the show that it's too unique to be copied. I think that's why people really like Top Gear - they work REALLY hard to make their car reviews relevant to people. They review a car as a piece of machinery AND for what it means to humanity in the bigger picture.

"although since you won't be needing a clutch pedal, you could sell one of your legs" Jeremy Clakson's hosting is amazing

What a great car, it's going through the corners extremely fast and controlled!

To have The Dark Knight Theme, with the sound of that F430 and Jeremy's comment was heaven! 🙌🔥

Went round a track in one of these yesterday and its a truly epic machine, if I could I'd have one tomorrow haha.

One of the most beautiful ferraris

In love with this ride since i saw it the first time :')

I optioned mine with deviating stitching, thicker stitching #2, optional Daytona seats with optional red inserts, optional full power seats, rear leather behind the seats like he said, standard carbon interior and not aluminium look, red brake calipers, Scuderia fender shields, optional spare tyre with tool kit, dedication plate on the dash and chose yellow tachometer.

Impeccable review as always.
