    I see it as luck-o-the-draw...
    Some cars just were built poorer than others. Some might have been finished on a day when the boys in Maranello had an extra carafe of Chianti at lunch, I don't know.

    Some owners beat the crap out of 'em, or just plain don't know how to drive a Ferrari well. Their cars maintenance costs reflect their ineptitude. No more, no less.

    YEP!!!!!

    I miss that car BIGTIME!!!!!! As far as performance it beats the 355 hands down, super reliable, and actually gets more attention, if of course thats your thing:)

    They are also VERY rare by comparison. Less than 200 cars a year I believe.....



    To be honest, I'm looking for another.

    If you can do a bit of diy they both can be maintained quite reasonably however a 360 on full chat sounds tame compared to a 355. To all you guys let's put it this way if you had to choose between Hilary Clinton and say Beyoncé would you choose Hilary would maintenance be a major factor??
