2000 Ferrari 360 Modena F1 review from North America
"One of the great sportscars currently being manufactured"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far, just normal yet costly dealer service, including a very expensive clutch change which wasn't needed, but had to be done according to the service papers.
General comments?
She costs a small fortune to own, but it's a Ferrari so she's worth it. I'm very pleased with the car, she can be driven on a daily basis and my wife even finds her easy to drive. The F1 gearbox is good, although not as quick as similar systems and I still argue whether I should have gone for a manual instead as I prefer having more control. Put her in automatic mode and a kid could drive this car. Needless to say, the performance and handling is impeccable. I dislike the front end though, looks stripped and too aerodynamic, still a stunning car and a Ferrari is always a Ferrari and will generate admiration and positive comments wherever you go. A true headturner for those who like that. I personally consider selling the car, which is my fourth Ferrari since 1984, and going for something else for once. Not because it's a bad car, but because I want to own another sportscar of another marque for once.
