Ferrari fragility

Having just purchased a 360 Spider I note that servicing costs are high. No surprise there! However, it does seem to need track rods ends etc rather more often than other performance cars. Why is this?

Easy - crap British roads

Track rod ends are the 360's achilles heel.

I've only changed my track rods once in 65,000 miles though.. must be my smooth driving

would disagree - servicing costs are high if you pick up a car which has not been regularly serviced. I'm on my 3rd 360, 360M, 360 Spider and now a CS. Join up www.supecarhub.com and check out the selection of service prices. I don't think my bills for servicing any of my 360 variant's have ever been expensive and I've done about 40,000 across all 3

so the 360's drive on different roads to every other car that doesn't need them anywhere near as often. Not so easy after all....at least for some
