348
It doesn't seem like the 348 gets as much love as the other Ferraris and I'm wondering if someone could explain why?
Thanks.

Everyone says that there are to many made off, it ain't so exclusife as the Ferrari's before. and they found some probs with handling (braking, turning,...) I thought. but then there was the F355 to cure the most bad things of the 348

I love the 348 too.. And I can't see that it's less popular than the 328..

Its not very fast and it doesn't handle very well.
Luca di Montezemolo bought himself one new.. and subsequently went on record telling every one how bad he thought it was. That sort of indictment is difficult for any car to recover from.
355 although an evolution of the 348 is a vastly superior car in all areas.

I love any ferrari, I may not like the shape of some ferraris, some of them may handle like microwave oven and have a comfort of a kichen chair but hell - ferrari is a ferrari and Id drive ANY model proudly to be honest. Even the cheapest, ugliest, worst ones (for as long as it is in good condition).

Well the shape is a classic. But the car had many reliability problems. It just wasnt a good car I guess. But hey I would still take one.

It's not too fast, but I have some friends that consider the 348 the most amazing ferrari design since 512TR. Specially about the rear design and the grid like air vents on the sides.

I think the 348 is an awesome car, of course I haven't driven one, but of all "cheap" ferraris this is the one I would save up to buy...the 355 is still way too expensive...

A guy who works with me bought one for about 20 grand. Drop in the bucket though, he's looking to upgrade to a 355. Lucky bastard
