    Granted, I'm still working on obtaining my first 328. However, the transaction is within reach now and I'm planning for the future.

    My question is, which car would you like to have your girlfriend or wife drive?

    I'm love the image of having my girlfriend drive her own Ferrari... a black bbi perhaps? a 246? 308 so It less of an investment for me? So many options to ponder.

    Please keep in mind this is a completely hypothetical thread and answers not including Ferrari's are not accepted.

    How is a BBI or 246 less than a 308? Mondial Convert, sounds about right for a woman and not too much money.

    Yes, the mondial convertible is a good option too....
    I'm thinking the BBI costs slightly ;) more than the 308...and slightly more to keep up...especially if she is driving it!

    355 or 360 spider is good for women IMO.

    I think this would be an appropriate car for her. She may have to throw a few bucks at it....

    Lynne loved the Lusso, liked the BBi, hated my Mondial QV Coupe (no power steering), liked her 412i (the first car she bought) and, hopefully, will love my Mondial t coupe...

    I think the Mondial spider is the way to go. If she is very young you could get away with a 355 or 360 if you have the dough. Or a minivan if Ferrari comes out with one by the time you are ready to buy.

    355 is *slightly* less tempermental than a 348 or 328/308, not gonna say why I would not get ANY of the aforementioned for my wife.

    Here is a wild idea, it is not as exotic, but a great car as well, the 456. It took a long time for that car to grow on me, now I am nostalgic.

    Also what is the breakdown on these cars as far as power steering, oh yeah, that's right...

    A Ferrari is too nice. Get a Honda S2000 for her or something. She'll probably have more fun with that anyway.

    For my gf.... Well, a nice Ferrari F430.
    Or a Maserati Spyder CC, if you want something different from Ferrari.

    456M-
    Wife sat in one at FOSF and SHE (not me) almost bought it on the spot.
    What a fabulous looking car.

    Tobias, DUDE!

    Lynne drives an '05 M3 a mile and a half to work each day. She said NO to a 330Ci because she HAS to BEAT everyone on the on-ramp race! Now THAT'S what you need. A woman who not only KNOWS what she wants, but knows how to USE it!

    She said my Mondial QV coupe was a "junkbox", oh well...
