    Mine is very heavy. Any indication these aren't Hondas...no two examples of the same model feel identical.

    Good on you Jeff. However, if he had your car his review would have been a whole lot different, I am sure. Same if he had mine, Tim's or Bruce's. If he had Ernie's, well, I can't imagine what that would have been like. :p

    Couple of comments from an ex-348 owner:

    The "t" in 348ts does not stand for "targa".

    Yes, the shoulder belts are a pain sometimes when getting in and out of the car, but he doesn't seem to be aware of the stowaway tabs up by the mirror. You don't have to wrestle with them. And advocating wearing just the lap belts isn't very smart.

    Is anyone else bothered by the air horns? Or by the orange/red characters on the instruments? Not me.

    Those orange clocks are just beautiful. One of the reasons i decided to go after 348 than a 355. Other is steering wheel(its horrendous) and interior in general. But its obvious that it goes with personal taste

    ^ You have the perfect 355 interior, all the right pieces.

    That's true, but there's some value in obvious comments about cars not many people get to experience.

    That's the one to have. The 360 wheel also looks pretty nice on a 355. The 355 airbag wheel looks like it came from the Dodge Caravan parts bin. It's the one thing I can't stand about my 355's interior.

    See I kind of like the steering wheel

    Reminds me of an old 450 SL mercedes. KInd of a time with cars where the steering wheel was a statement. Like one of those big wonky Rolex watches.

    The F355 non-airbag wheel is a nice looking piece. IMO, the 348/512TR steering wheel is one of the best looking ones to come on a Ferrari, classically beautiful and pure in its form, second only to the Enzo-era wood rimmed wheels.
