    My “new” 308 decided to leave up to my expectations (aka fears) and after I arrive home from work it did not wanted to start.
    The story:
    1-Started perfectly this morning and this afternoon on my way back
    2- my way back is about 10miles...some traffic, not a lot...car came rolling with very little stop and go
    3- Houston weather was about 95F...car reached a max temp of 200F and did not pass from there
    4- stopped the car for 2 min
    5- tried to start the car again and did not wanted to start
    6- after my 3rd attempt eventually started with a very “clumsy” noise...after some seconds and a couple of accelerations it was back to normal

    Any ideas...I’m a new Ferrari owner and this is my dream car. Help

    Take a deep breath. Relax. These are great cars. There are a lot of untrue urban legends about their persnicketyness.

    Yes, you have a problem, but no, it is not a permanent thing. You'll sort it out, maybe there will be another glitch or two, but once they are sorted you will have a great car, like so many of us here already have.
