Hi all my name is Carl and im new to this forum today.I have had a look at lots of threads and read some interesting topics on the 360.
Im in the middle of trying to choose my next car and am thinking of either :-
Ferrari 360 F1
Porsche 911 (996) Turbo
Mercedes SL55 AMG
Aston Martin V8 Vantage
I own a Range Rover 4.4 Vogue at the moment and needless to say its not a good car to own.I want to go back to sports cars after owning a 996 C2 a couple of years ago.
My questions are :-
1. Will a 360 be relaiable for every day short journey use provided i keep it serviced etc correctly ?.
2. Can i expect similar fuel consumption or better than the RR (it does 15)?
3. Is specialist servicing ok with one of these ?.
4. Is there anything is should look out for when buying / testing one ?.
I expect high running costs but dont want to be horrified by it once ive bought a 360.It will be my only car and i will use it for work in every day real life can i expect the ferrari to serve me well or am i better going for the german stuff ?.I dont expect to be problem free for ever but dont want to be let down more than i can drive it.A car being taken to the garage is no use to me.
If anybody can tell me the honest day to day costs and yearly cost of a 360 that is being used daily for short trips that would be very helpful.
The purchase will be with me for a few years so i dont want to make a mistake choosing.I will be looking at the entry level priced ones but wont buy the cheapest purely based on that fact.
Im 100% sure i will love owning the 360 im just cautious having read so many horror stories about Maserati's.
Any opinions are most welcome.
Thanks in advance
Carl
