| 348 vs F355 |
| KaV 12-18-2012 |
After release of the F355 Luca Di Montezemolo (Ferrari-CEO) described the 348 as "the worst car that ever left Maranello"... I talked to a Belgian racingdriver who owned both and considerd the statement of Di Montezemolo as "unloyal and over the edge". The 348 is a very fine car, a real Ferrari with awsome looks and driving capabilities. As a matter of fact F355 is the better car from technical point of vieuw, but nowadays, a Ferrari-mechanic tells me, the 348 is the better "value for money" because of the better balance of driving fun vs price vs maintenance-cost. (more trouble withe F355 electronics vs 348) |

The 348 was a great car when it debuted in '89. Most US and European magazine articles heaped praise upon another on this car. As soon as the 355 came, however, the 348 became a stepchild. The 355 is vastly better, no doubt, but one must compare a car with its contemporaries. Drive a 512 TR, Lotus Esprit S4(or even the V8), and especially a Diablo, and you will agree that the 348 was a leader in its time in terms of quality, comfort, and ergonomics. The 911 turbos of the early nineties were beasts to drive and had terrible ergonomics. For around 55K, a good example of a 348 is a great buy. It still looks exotic and can run with most current sports cars. I owned a 348ts for 6 years and recently upgraded to a 355 spider F1. At times I miss the raw feel of the 348. The 355 is a superior car, but not in every single way. |
