1990 Ferrari 348 TS review from North America

I had to replace the brake rotors and pads, cost $1000.

I had to replace the rear tires, $300 a piece.

I broke a shift fork in the transmission which cost $2500 to repair.

I had to replace the rubber seals for the doors and Targa top to stop the water leaks, cost $1000.

I had a very difficult time getting the car to pass an emissions inspection.

This is without a doubt the most unbelievable car I have ever owned. The cars performance is the stuff legends are made of.

I have personally driven the car at 160 MPH without it even skipping a beat. At that speed the car handles the road better than my I30 did at 70 MPH.

It goes around a turn like it is glued to the pavement. The steering and suspension are so tight you can feel the car hit a pebble in the road.

The cars acceleration from a standing stop is amazing. Its acceleration on the highway is even more amazing.

Most people would probably hate this car. There is nothing soft or smooth about this car. It is not a luxury car like most people think, it is a performance car. Everything about it is hard and tight. It has very few options or accessories, and is not particularly comfortable on a long drive. The car does not even have cruise control. It is hard to get in and out of because it sits so low to the ground. The clutch is heavy and not easy to let out smoothly. Steering is manual as are the brakes and transmission.

Anyone who can appreciate the performance of this car will fall instantly in love with it as I did. There is nothing like a Ferrari. The looks you get at a stop light are pretty nice to. This car is my daily driver and I cannot imagine driving anything else!
