1997 Ferrari F355 Spider review from North America
"It is the ultimate driving experience!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Like all F355s, the top seems to be a real concern. I just leave the top down, but this may reduce the number of days I drive the car due to weather concerns.
General comments?
I love the car. I also own an older Porsche 911. I love the Porsche, and its reliability. I do receive lots of compliments on the Porsche, but people's jaws drop when driving the F355.
I bought the 'fly' yellow and have more complimentary comments than ever expected.
The engine 'sound' is the ultimate sensory experience!
