1982 Ferrari 308 GTSI review from North America
"Fun and exotic, but also expensive to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turn signal leaver inside the vehicle once broke off while trying to signal for turn.
Head liner became unattached after car was detailed. Had to send it in to be re attached.
Intermittent wiper switch for windshield wipers became stuck in on mode.
Window motors for automatic windows weren't strong enough to roll the windows back up. Had to replace them.
General comments?
Even though this car was very expensive to maintain, it was my favorite vehicle I have ever owned.
The 308 had an amazing suspension that glued it to the road.
As far as how the car handled, I have no complaints.
Little things on the car like window motors, or handles always seemed to break.
So much fun to drive.
