The old man was driving a Fiat Multipla all the time, one of the most horrible car creations ever . . . glad he got this one now, have fun old dude.

All the best to him, but with my experience he will struggle to have fun in a 348.

They are rubbish.

the 348 is so dodgy to drive....never really liked them

gtrlux · 2nd October 2006, 10:56 AM

Well it's the poor men's Ferrari. Was surprised he swaped his Multipla for this one . . . but it's OK , his name is Rossini!

He made allready a new friend in the neighbor town . . . same aged man has an F430 (white), I think I will have a chat with thoses old twats in the next days.

According to certain motoring journalists the 348 is not very good in the handling stakes compared to a 355 or 550 but compared to normal cars, it's much better...

And as a poor man's Ferrari, the servicing costs are still painful.

Of cours the servicing is allways hell with Ferraris. Especially when you get Gearbox problems and the clutch also not holds to the high standards you await from it.
But I think this Ferrari is good for someone enjoying the machinery (mostly in the garage), and drives max 5000kms a year.(to the pub and back)
Then you should be OK with servicing costs . . .

Got that one right!

But I noticed that those sporty Range Rover's are coming "en force"! At least at my son's school...

Well fair play to him, it's probably been his dream car for the last 20 years.

petey · 4th October 2006, 03:18 PM

I drove a 348 and a 355 today (missus got me a performance car day for my 30th birthday) and I have to say I prefered the 348 to the 355 ! Even though the 355 is my favourite looking ferarri, well apart from the F40.
