Ferrari F355 Coupe
  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Value for money is relative - it's a Ferrari.

    Costs

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Extremely expensive to run. Tyres, fuel, servicing are all very dear. Keep the miles low - drive it on sunny weekends only.

    Superb. Razor sharp responses, massive grip, very hard ride. You do get confident because of the grip. Nothing unsettles it, apart from excessive power in wet which is easy, BELIEVE ME.

    Performance

    This will make you laugh. It's very, very fast of course, but to get that kick in the back, you need to rev hard.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Electrics, trim and other silly niggles that stop it from starting.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Great for short weekend runs or track days. Nice seats. Not for long journeys, though.

    Excellent. My garage is alarmed and totally secure. Oh, you meant the car??

    Service

    Went to specialists and they're still very expensive. Ferrari dealers - forget them unless you buy new.
