My mini review after 6 days of ownership
Build quality - they have done a top notch job. Everything is fitted perfectly. I went over the car with a fine tooth comb and couldn't even find one quality control issue. My old 458 had number of issues like bits of carpet sticking out under the dash and body panels not even aligned properly. The interior is a work of art.
Infotainment - this is where the Huracan is leaps and bounds ahead of the 458. The sat nav works brilliantly, the standard sound system is great, the bluetooth is actually usable. Everything is so easy to use and works quickly.
Race exhaust - This is a must on this car imo. The standard exhaust is just too tame. The sound is crazy in sport and corsa, strada is still quite loud but its manageable to use. The bangs on the overun are like claps on thunder, superb sound
Power - its bloody quick. The 4WD gives a lot of confidence around the corners. Defo feels faster than the 458 it replaces.
Suspension - i thought it would be quite stiff but its fine in all modes.
Gear box - smooth as silk in strada and brutal in corsa. I've sometimes missed the gearchange in corsa mode and its savage the kick back you get. The downshifts with the race exhaust are heaven
Lift system - i didn't spec this and have been over speed bumps and the car is fine. If you live in a hilly area then it may be useful but where i am the lift is not required imo.
One issue i have is the daytime running lights should come on when unlocking the car. That would finish it off nicely
The overall experience has been brilliant and its easily the best car i've ever had

Sounds great so far! You also had the chance to drive the car with it's stock exhaust before the dealer installed the race exhaust?
