I heard the 360's have alot of problems.
328's are more reliable. Good thing I bought one.

Was away on a trip. Thanks for the posts and unfortunately it looks like I'm not alone with some of these issues.
Will look into the headlight thread tonight or tomorrow.

There's no way to get rid of this....the headlights are sealed units....There is a very extensive thread on this that has diagrams etc. on exactly what the problem is..... |

One of the major issues with Lambda sensors is when the car is started, moved and shut down within 2 minutes, the sensors accumulate deposits that are not burned off by normal operating temperatures. The biggest abuser of this is the dealer's themselves, shuttling cars in and out all day from sales and service. Ironic, no? |

Every modern car that I know of has problems with O2 sensors that set off the "check engine" lights, German, Japanese, Italian and otherwise. Seems that there are similar issues with air bag sensors as well (has happened several times on our new MBenz E500 already).
Regarding the finicky top: Oh-oh. Porsche has had a problem with early Boxsters that is still plaguing those owners today. Sadly, it will probably never go away. |

Taek,
Had check engine light come on a few times.Each time when computer at dealership hooked up it was either nothing or an O2 sensor.Airbag light came on at 10k mi and computer found nothing and has not recurred over the next 3k mi.
Solution for finicky top-----coupe! |

Yep,
The headlight cover condensation is a problem....It's discussed in a previious thread...There is no way to fix the watermarks, but I believe that the thread discusses a way to prevent further problems....
I have heard good things about Ferrari of Orange County.....I would also highly recommend Autogallery....Unfortunately, I can't do the same for Ferrari of Beverly Hills.....Their attitude stinks, I didn't have a good experience on the two occassions that I used them. The comments are specifically aimed towards the management....The mechanic that worked on my car was knowledgeable and pleasant. |

I had a check engine light come at early miles, the car still ran great. The dealer fixed it without question, flat bed for free, excellent service, all under USA warranty. Ferrari of Orange County was very good and I recommend them. |

Check engine light, Airbag light, and finicky top. Who built this thing, Ferrari or Fiat (ok, ok, lame joke)?
Any other owners with these problems? Oh yeah, and condensation inside the headlight covers? |
