    ive been thinking about getting a bentley continental gt coupe later in the year 09 model,
    i only recently went in a friends ferrari i always thought they were over rated but it was amazing doing 280km on the highway... with solid power
    everyone looking at it, people at the car wash begging to wash the car for free..

    if you were to get your first ferrari again what would you suggest?

    i would get second hand most likely, i set on a bentley but after that expirence i would consider ferrari

    i havnt bought a exotic car before, but i own a couple nice cars and a couple poor cars.

    oh by the way my friends i went in was a 00 or 01 ferrari 360 modena

    What about all of the other spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes?

    How old are you?

    You type like you're twelve years old.

    Read it like he's talking to you, he sounds like a junior high student.


    I would still use capitol letters, apostrophes and some form of adult language.

    exactly, i am 19.. i have worked for swiss company for a while, the impreza was a gift and the range rover im still paying off. wont be long before it is paid off, i dont have the money right now for a exotic car but i think i will put it on my business expense once i open my latest venture, i have had a helping hand in financing my carrer but that dosnt discredit what i have earnt. as for grammar i do not care for it on the internet, i see the language and grammar is close to correct being on a ferrari website but once you see a few other forums you will not be botherd.

    If you enjoy modern Ferrari power, and like how the 360 looks, an '02-'03 Modena 6-speed is probably a good bet. I've had one acquaintance who had an engine failure, but in general the 360 seems well built.

    If you like the raw feel and classic looks of the older cars, and can accept lesser performance numbers, a 328 is the best bet and a real driver's car. Also, they seem underpriced: you'd save US$40K-$50K off the cost of a 360.

    Most importantly, buy a great example of whatever Ferrari you like. The repair/service costs of the a bad one aren't worth the "savings" up front.

    thank you both...
    this place is getting too nasty!

    and to the original poster.... you are 19? A Bentley? 19? Just does not add up.
    When I was 19, all I wanted was some .... well you get the idea.
    Would not have got a Bentley at that age... get a Porsche, a vette, maybe even a Ferrari.... But don't hurt yourself or anyone else. My dad had a vette when I was a late teenager... can get yourself into a lot of trouble with all that power and not a lot of experience behind the wheel!

    i dont have anywhere near the cash required, but by the time im 20 in august ill be ready i think or maybe just before the summer, porsche for me is too much of a lawyers car, and ferrari is too old i feel, but that wasnt on my mind when i had the expirence, i love my impreza but where im from you dont get the repsect you deserve, its too super ficial even if thats not me as close to that style i see myself in the bently continental gt, (2 door coupe)

    as for getting some, i used to get plenty when i was single, i now get it whenever my girls in town which isnt too often, but we can change that without the car.. i dont know, but when you think what car really defines me as far as style, color, brand, respect, imagen.. and thats what comes to my mind.
    im even looking at the nissan gtr due to its low price but in the end you most likely wont be placed in the category cars like ferrari, bentley, porsche are in..

    and my friend with the ferrari has a 04ish porsche carrera like turbo and it was amazing.. just as quick.. far too small, but great for a thrill
