It's surprising how many people bash the 355 yet don't actually own(ed) one. I've had mine for many moons and I've been quite happy....and yes, it's an F1. If you talk to actual owners I think you'll find a pretty happy group. As long as you drive the car and maintain it they are pretty bulletproof. Sure there are a few cars that have problems but that goes for about any car out there and not limited to Ferrari's. It seems like once the known problems of headers, potential valve guides and sticky interior are remedied then they're good to go. There are few cars that look the way the 355 does or sounds like one. I think history will show that it was one of the best out of Maranello but we've got about another 20 years to go before that will prove out.
