Self-drive hire cars from Heathrow to the centre of London....
Well, technically that system isn't satnav but nav by length between turns. As in the video explained at the very end of course there is one major flaw: you have to stick exactly to the pre-recorded route, otherwise the whole navigation will be messed up and you definitely won't arrive where you want to arrive.Huh. I thought it first appeared in early 90s Japanese market luxury cars.
I prefer the 355, but I see what you mean. I would much rather have a 355 with a proper manual instead of any modern dual-clutch Ferrari.
Same. Just look at it... There just isn't another Ferrari that looks this good. The 456 and F40 are CLOSE (456 is below only by a hair) but just not there. I will say immediately after the 355 Ferrari's have degraded in beauty and desirability to the hunk of computerized trash we have now.
The F355, in my eyes, sits in the right spot of looking modern but with hints to the vintage cars.
Of course I would love having the modern cars, and the F50 will be my favorite ever, but this one looks just right. It's soft and curvy, with pop-up headlights, a screaming V8 and a proper gated shifter (well, until the F1 versions. No thanks). No huge wheels, no crazy wrinkles and aggressive fronts, no bullshit. Just a low, wide, good-looking sports car.
Also, that ass:
Best looking modern Ferrari, by far... but I think the F430 is the best sounding V8 Ferrari.The F355, in my eyes, sits in the right spot of looking modern but with hints to the vintage cars.

Sadly, the one in the embedded video above deserves a better owner than that dick, who keeps going over the double yellow.
Also, I (not very seriously) toyed with the idea of buying a used 355 before I purchased ze Porsche, since around 2013-2014 they appeared to hit their price nadir, and (for a Ferrari) were very reasonably priced indeed. Then I found out how much it costs to service one for just an (engine out) oil change....
Let me blow your mind:I agree with you, the F430 is indeed the best sounding V8 Ferrari, but on the whole, considering the looks and the fact that the F430 is paddle-shift only, I'd still choose the F355.
Regarding the maintenance: yes, I've read that too. Realistically, the F360 is cheaper and easier to maintain and can be had a manual, unlike the F430 so if I had the money I would probably get a F360 but since I can't afford either, I choose the F355. :lol:
Let me blow your mind:
The F430 was available with a stick. Good luck finding one, however... and they have a significant cost premium over the more ?pedestrian? paddle shift cars.
Yeah, I can dream, but it will never happen. Any Ferrari is one, if not three, bridges too far for me. Not that I have anything to complain about on that front.
But yeah, in my dream garage, there would be a space for a F430 Speciale (?Needs? )...

Well, both: F355 and 456 are better than 360, but somehow I no longer consider them "modern". They are, in my eyes already classics, youngtimers etc.
