Thinking of going to a 360 Spider from a 997........

[simonharrod911]

I keep reading a lot about the 360 Modena being poor in comparison to the F355. What are they like to live with?

is this a wind up

It wasn't meant to be. I've had Porsches for the last seven years, know NOTHING about Ferrari.

From a 997 I reckon a 360 would be by far the best choice of Ferrari.

Thanks Chris, could I ask why you think that?

360 was envisaged from the start as an 'everyday' car - previous prancing horses were never fully considered on the drawing board as 'everyday' transport..

At least thats the theory!

It sounds like (from a 997) you would be seeking the best build quality/reliability etc. in which case I'm sure the later Ferrari would suit you better.

You need some owners who have actually owned both to give the hard facts, but from reputation the 360 is the best sorted by a reasonable margin (F430 excepted).

Thanks for the advice. 430 too much cash for me. What are the known issues with the 360?
