Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Highly communicative steering, sublime responsiveness, addictive V8 yowl, coupe or convertible format, getting to tell your friends that you own a Ferrari.
Cons
- Expensive, styling more dramatic than beautiful, convertible's plastic rear window.
What’s new
The Ferrari F430 is an all-new replacement for the outgoing Ferrari F360. Major F430 improvements include a more powerful V8, revised F1 shifting response, a stiffer body structure, new styling and an updated interior.
Edmunds says
New and rejuvenated competition has forced Ferrari to up its game. With the F430, it has done so magnificently. This is the best entry-level V8 Ferrari yet.

2005 Ferrari F430 F1 2dr Coupe (4.3L 8cyl 6AM)
The F430 is an amazing car--more so than virtually any other car on the market. Its performance is spectacular. Its shape is more beautiful than any other car in the world. On the road, it commands a presence of mystique and prestige that only a Ferrari delivers. I had a 360 Modena before this model. The F430 is sharper and more modern in appearance. The shifting of F1 is more smooth, … and the overall handling is far superior.

2005 Ferrari F430 Spider 2dr Convertible (4.3L 8cyl 6M)
This vehicle is amazing, fast, sleek, responsive, quick, it turns every head, you will not want to get out of it. I went from a 360 Modena to the F-430 F-1 and noticed a world of change it's like night and day. You've got to drive this vehicle to see what I mean.
Best Ferrari So Far!

2005 Ferrari F430 F1 2dr Coupe (4.3L 8cyl 6AM)
This is my third Ferrari I have owned. A Testarossa, Maranello 550 now this beautiful example of styling, performance and unbelievable driving experience. This is such a vast improvement over the 360 which I also tested. It has the ability to transform from an every day drive, to a full race performance all by simply switching the settings on your steering wheel. The performance is a … given, but the exhaust sound alone takes you to the track and turns heads in amazement. The handling is superb. Highly recommend. Live your dream!! this is as close as you get to driving an F1.

2005 Ferrari F430 F1 Spider 2dr Convertible (4.3L 8cyl 6AM)
Though this is our first Ferrari, we underestimated what we were actually buying. Our F430 is far and away a better vehicle than either the Lamborghini Gallardo or the Porsche Carrera GT that we were able to drive. Special thanks to dealers that let 30 something millionaires drive before we buy. You earned our business!
