If you want to avoid the engine out for MOST things, get a 360. If you want to avoid it altogether, get a 430. I went with the 430 not just because it was the Ferrari V8 that came out when I got my license so it was a “poster car” for me, but also because you can pretty easily work on it yourself… which saves you a metric fuckton of money. You can also do a manual swap yourself for $10k if you want a gated manual without paying the premium for the stock ones. But a lot of the feeling of the 355 is still present in the 430… the interior is “far away” and spacious, it all feels light and delicate, it “dances” on the road… If you don’t mind the engine out maintenance, go for the 355. If you want things slightly more modern and reliable, 360. And even more so? 430.

I absolutely agree with you regarding the 430. I have one. An 07 F1 Spider. Modern enough, but still organic. I didn’t want a 458 because it is overly computerized, almost feeling like an arcade game, and the 355, although stunning, is a maintenance nightmare. Also, the interior is lacking, comparatively speaking. The 430 , for me, really hits the sweet spot. Two issues to contend with; 1) I live on Vancouver Island, and there are no certified Ferrari technicians. 2) my 430 is dark grey in colour, so not too flashy, however, some people look at me in a negative light. Conversely, I also have a Porsche 993, and virtually every time I drive it, people have their cameras out, and give me the thumbs up. 19:52

The 348 steering is heavy until you’re moving, and then has that typical Ferrari lightness with lovely feel. It also smells incredible, transports me back to being in a workshop with my dad every time I sit in it. Honestly these things are magic, delicate, dramatic, small, complete timewarp.

However, unlike a regular car that has vast amounts of other components shoved in an engine bay to absorb heat, the F355 is pretty much just open space so that heat, rather than being absorbed into the surrounding chassis/body and components is radiated away. I would be willing to bet an F355 cools down much faster than a car where all the components are heat absorbing.

The 348 is far better experience. Just about everything pre-2020 is going to seem slow. So now if you look at a more modern "classic" it's about having a manual transmission, something that sounds good, feels quick-ish but not criminally fast - in my opinion the 348's, 355's, and 360's are the best options for that.

Asides from the engine-out service that you should do every 3-5 years, depending on how many miles you drive it, repairs can be a pain. The problem is that when parts need to be replaced, good luck finding them. You'll have to buy used ones and hope that they're not also defective. If you're willing to put all that aside, this is one of the most glorious classic Ferraris to drive, especially with a gated shifter and a Capristo exhaust with high-flow cats. The looks, the sound, the shifting, even the leather all make you feel like you're in something really special. Thanks for the great review!

Probably going to step out in an unpopular limb, but I've always liked the 360.
@facetiousmonkey53226 ай бұрын
The 360 is awesome. Much better car than the 355 but most people feel the 355 is prettier
@pkt12136 ай бұрын
@facetiousmonkey5322 maybe just because the 360 dropped when I was getting my license or something, but I like the 360's looks as well.

Yeah the 360 was the first "modern" Ferrari
@hughmungus78586 ай бұрын
I always thought the 360 looked kinda beady eyed since they went away from pop ups. The pop ups on 355 were smoother imo

I really don't know how all the manufacturers are completely missing the point that their older cars designed for drivers are skyrocketing in value. Car people want a car to drive, they aren't interested in automatic transmissions or television screens.

They do understand, thats why companies like porsche and aston release bare bones manual cars and charge extra

Yes, the 355 is a classic Ferrari. It's a total shame the upkeep is so crippling. They were coming down nicely in price due to the nightmare maintenance cost.. but of course now that everyone is searching for manual vehicles, this has shot back up in price. There are a number of things I would change to make it look a little more appealing but again, that's personal taste. I still think the bargain to get would be the F430 in manual. Hopefully the world keeps ignoring this model so prices start to drop to more reasonable levels.. 🙂

Yep F430 also doesn't need engine out service 👍

unfortunately, I don't think any manual sports car from a legacy brand will ever go down in price; in an automatic EV future, these cars will go only up.

@@jdsk8914 true, but it’s still a little tricky to service. Provided you’re doing the service yourself and not paying for someone to do it.

That intro. Just as I was gonna cringe, in comes the whole point behind the plot. You boys killed me with that joke 🤣☠️ The car, though...There are a million reasons I can name to explain why this was THE Ferrari of the 90's, and why it still slaps to this day. But a million is too many. The F355 shall speak for itself. 💯
