    If you had rate these from a buyers perspective which one would you rate as the #1 to purchase to the #3?

    I think it depends on your goals, budget and needs. These are three different cars with different "personalities" and all handle differently.

    If you include 512TR I'll choose that 1 every time, 355 next , then TR, then 348

    #1 TR; #2 355 & #3 348. ALWAYS go with the 12 cylinder car if possible when considering a Ferrari if the price is close as in the three listed.

    I`d go with the..

    1. TR
    2. F355
    3. 348

    I`m sure in the F355 you get better performance but the way I see this , when you could get a Ferrari with a flat-12 engine and in which I find the Testarossa nicer than the F355 and the 348, I will right right away for that car.
    Thats my opinion...

    I see a recurrent theme here with the 348 in last place.

    hmmmmm...interesting. I'd heard the 512M wasn't much of an improvement over the 512TR. I think I'd like to drive one of those!

    Why does the 348 receive so little love? I think they are great looking cars, is it just the realiability issue? It seems like the 348 model is the most vilified single model on the board. What gives?

    It's kind of a strange comparisson, as the 355 was the "new and improved" 3x8, so by definition, it is a better car than the 348. The 348 is great, but against a 355 - well, that's why Ferrari used it to replace the 348. It's no surprise that it falls behind the 355 in this poll.

    Now, for me, the TR will always beat out the other models. The TR is just and amazing and kick-arse ride. I love 'em, and the 355 can't touch it when you nail the pedal on the freeway. Just AMAZING.

    So, I guess, for me, it's:

    1. TR, 512TR, whatever
    2. 355 (coupe, by the way)
    3. 348
