Got a CPO late model MP4-12C with warranty and haven't given any Ferrari a second look ever since. My other weekend car is a Viper known to be the most ruthless cars on the road and the McLaren is just as engaging. & Yes I could've gotten a slightly older 458 for the same price but having driven a 458, aside from the sound it has nothing going for it. & FWIW the 12C with sport exhaust sounds absolutey sinister. You would not believe the number of people that said they couldn't fathom McLarens sound so good because auto journalists in Ferraris pockets had them think that Ferraris are the be all and end all of supercars when in reality all they do is play second fiddle to McLaren Lamborghini & Porsche and rely on their brand to sell cars. If I ever were to buy a Ferrari it would probably be a Portofino because nobody sells a 4 seat front engine super-GT with a convertible hardtop. I do not care for marketing and buy whatever suits my requirements best. Just my 2 cents
