348 without question. Had one for a while, great car, massively under rated and relatively cheap. Never driven the other two but the Hummer seems completely pointless.

None, think I would search for some other sort of Americana. Ram pickup etc.

Yes VERY tempting i will be getting one off the (4) problem it the 348 is probably the least
practical of the list and and err sorry almost became sensible then.

How is the 348 for luggage space could you for example pack a weeks worth of kit for two
for a tour round euroland or scottsville?

If you pack relatively lightly then yes you can fit enough luggage in there. There is a surprising amount of space beneath that bonnet.

Because 'people' seem to think that they are the poor cousin to the 355 they are surprisingly good value. Don't be under any illusions though, it wouldn't handle being a daily driver like the modern ferraris without fairly large bills. But the sound of that engine and the experience of owning a Ferrari just blow your other options into the dust.

I have my eye on a corker at the moment and i prefer the simplicity over the 355
to be fair no elctro wotsit shocks to have the actuators seize etc.
i have read every thing i can find about the 348 i have just not been able to
see one in the flesh for a rummage and a face on chat with an owner.
from what i can see they are well able to handle daily use as long as the maintenance
is kept up with (not a problem for me i have reasonable know-how and a well stocked
tool shed)

348. I actually prefer the look of them to a DB7 and they sound great.

Hummer does absolutely nothing to stir my soul.

Even if it's 'only' a 348 you still own your own Ferrari!

348 aslong as it's been looked after.

Dad had a Manual 355 coupe and that was really good (hopefully Ferrari didn't just buck up their ideas for the 355)

DB7, and I'd pick the 3.2. For around £3000 Aston will modify it to be as quick as the V12, without the running costs. So for around £22k you could have yourself a very quick Aston and arguably the best looking car to come out of the 90's sat on your drive.

Good luck and let us know how you get on. I'd love to have another one.

Oh and remember that reverse is where you'd expect first to be, embarrassing when you get the wrong one!

If you want a Ferrari, try and get a 355 - much better drive than the 348.
