Today on the channel, I'm driving what many consider to be the ideal classic Ferrari - the 328 GTS. For a long time one of the cheaper ways to get into the brand, the 328 bridged the gap between the iconic 308 and the odd duck that is the 348. Why is it so loved, and is it a good drive?

I’ve wrenched on my 328 for 16 years. Never waited more than a week for a part, never spent more than a $250 for a part, other than a set of red OEM plug wires which could be replaced by any number of other options available for nothing if you don’t need red insulation. Many many parts are shared with Porsche, Fiat and other cars, as they’re full of Bosch components just like every other euro car of that era. If you’re thinking of a 328, don’t listen to these knuckleheads who pretend to know this car and tell you how unreliable and expensive they are. It’s nonsense from people whose main goal is to seem knowledgable on the internet. Come to the Ferrarichat forum, we will happily tell you everything you need to know from owners just like me who drive and work on these cars as a matter of routine.

That was a 308
@@samcas707 I know. And JayEmm is no Thomas Magnum.
328 was never in Magnum
@@pereldh5741 We know. And Jay was neither a P.I. or actor. And he’s not living in Hawaii. And he does not look like Tom Selleck. Anything else?
@TheBTG88 ...and aren't they basically the same car except the engine went up .2 litres😋
As far as everything else...plus he's not wearing my hometowns MLB cap either😉
As a happy owner of a 328 GTB for the last 14 years I’m glad you like it, great review! Having owned a 456 and a Testarossa I confirm it is much cheaper to run and very reliable. On the exhaust side I’ve replaced the original with an Ansa, it sounds great while keeping the typical 328 tone without trying to sound screamy like the later cars.
This car is a joy to drive as much as it is to look at. Definitely a keeper
Descendant of the legendary Dino 246 and then 308, the 328 is an extremely functional car (no fake air intakes or fake exhaust pipes or other solutions dictated by marketing). Designed and desired by men saturated with a passion for cars. The engine, in a central/transverse position, is really behind the "pilot"'s shoulders. 40% self-locking differential and zero electronics (the only assistance is the servo brake). Everything about this splendid car takes us back to the racing world of times gone by. What can we say about the two splendid aluminum fuel tanks, positioned between the doors and the wheel wells of the driving wheels? And the sealed water radiator with the vent on the front hood? It's true, the interior heats up so much that in winter you don't need heating: comfort be damned!
Not to mention the smell of Connolly leather when you get on board. In other words, the 328 involves all our senses and every aspect of it finds coherence in its essence, as if it were a living being. It is no coincidence that Enzo Ferrari defined his creatures as "living mechanics". Congratulations for the video document. Thank you.
The 328 is my all-time dream car. No other car on the road had the same effect as when I see one of these, although a 308 comes close. By modern standards, most hot hatches would cause it a lot of trouble, but it is just the most beautiful car.
308 has the better looks imo.
The front is more like the 288 gto (my favorite ferrari of all time) whereas the 328 looks more like a 512 bb.
The only Ferrari I ever had was a black 328 GTS. Like 30y ago. When cold, you can forget about shifting from 1st to 2nd. Just go straight to 3rd.
Roof off above about 200 kph the roof panel in the pouch behind the seats starts to lift up. I remember chasing a Alpina B6 3.5 convertible on German Autobahn and I was only marginally faster.
It did however turn heads unlike any other car I had. So much so that it was one reason for selling it. Together with being rather hard work to drive both in city and long distance.
Never had a Ferrari since.
Great video JayEmm. I am very fortunate to have three Ferraris. The 328 definitely is a sweetspot. It is like putting on those comfortable runners for a jog or your favourite slippers. I have a 1996 328 GTS (originally sold through Charles Pozzi in France, build is Nov 1985). I have a 1990 Testarossa and that can be a little more tempermental. Final car is a 2011 458 Italia. I am frequently asked what is my favourite car. My reply: "the last one I drove".
I know that feeling!
I have never seen a 1996 328, however I did once own an 86😉😁
slight typo on my part.
The 308/328/288GTO have always been my favorite Ferraris.
Amen!!! 100%!! 288GTO is the most beautiful car ever made by the hand of man!!
Donnie, your selection of the 308/328 progression is right on the mark... the 288GTO just jumped about 10 price brackets! 🤣 Many years ago I worked in a Ferrari shop and logged many miles in a 308 and a few in a 328. As I told my friends who questioned me about driving them, driving a 308 GTB/GTS is like putting on a comfortable pair of old blue jeans and just getting on down the road. They're easy to drive quickly and I found to be very predictable. If you tend to drive hard and really push it, a 308GTB is probably a better choice. The solid roof gives you a stiffer chassis. It you're more of a fast cruiser and bit less competitive, the open top GTS is just fine and the breeze on a sunny day is very nice. My wife liked that one the best. If you find a well cared for example, you're liable to have a lot of fun... be careful... they can be addictive!! 😂🤣
I had one from 2000 to 2006. Sold it before prices went up. It was rather wonderful despite some quirky build quality issues in places.
Hey, if you can live with the fact that your passenger gets wet feet in the rain sometimes, all is good. Love my 328🙂
@@AB-80-X mine didn't leak!
@@robsmith1a
Really? I've been in a few 328's over the years, and all had the same issue of getting some water in the passenger foot well if hitting a large puddle.
@@AB-80-X Mine never leaked once. It was 13 years old with 20k miles when I bought it. I kept it garaged but it went out in the rain plenty of times. The targa roof was watertight too (I used to spray silicone on the rubber seals every spring)
Why oh why did I swap my 1988 328 GTB in 2004 for a 360 Modena? My first Ferrari was a 1989 328 GTB that I bought in 1993 with 12000 miles on the clock. I know 20-20 hindsight is a wonderful thing but what the hell. I was lucky enough to have a 1995 355 Berlinetta from 2011 to 2021 and the sound from that (with a standard exhaust) was enough to make the hairs on the back of your head to stand up. Swapped it for a 2000 456GTM because I thought it was a good idea to at least own one front engined Ferrari V12 before I shuffled off my mortal coil. I would love to get back into a 328 GTB but I'm not sure my wife would be on board with that! Love from a (very) rainy Otford, Kent.
Loved the video. I took my 308 QV shopping (Costco) a few weeks ago and I had a guy the same age as me (50 something) come straight up and say that seeing the 308 had made his day. We had a lovely chat about ownership and by the time we'd finished the car had drawn a younger crowd, with several asking if it was ok to take pictures / video etc. Last week I took my 458 Spider to the same Costco and all I got was some very disapproving looks. The morale of the story is most people are nostalgic for life in general but classic Ferraris in particular. Merry Christmas J.
When I was teen I wanted the 328, remember talking to a guy at a car show all alone by his 328 and he was so excited that me, this kid, knew everything about his car because at the time it was not a car that was on anyone's radar. But now as an adult, I actually think I prefer the mondial 3.2 coupe....in not red
I was given a ride in this exact model back in '91 in Monaco. Definitely the sweet spot, and this or the 308 are my favourite Ferraris. It would not start at first, but with a boost it ran. We took it up the winding roads above Cap d'Ail France. Aside from the smell of gasoline inside, I was in heaven. That exhaust note right behind my head was biblical at the time. Sadly, the driver(chauffeur of the rich owner) admitted that it's horribly unreliable. I was allowed to sit in the brand new Diablo as well.
Great vid Jay- thank you. Merry Christmas!
This had been my dream car since 1985. That role was later taken over by the Chimaera 500 (dream fulfilled since 5 years 😊). But it still is my favourite Ferrari, though I have never even sat in one.
Thx for the review, not many competent ones out there!
I love these old Ferraris.
I would love to see you get hold of a Bertone 308 gt4.
You fighting the handbrake was gold! 🤣
Hey Jay... thank you very much for this review - and all others - THIS is MY beloved one and i hope to get one in my older Days! Greets from Munich, Tom
A Pininfarina designed masterpiece. I loved them back then, and still wish I owned one.
Hi James.. On the options front.. The radio was an option as was a leather headlining certain available on the GTB.. The panel around the rear window could also be optioned in leather as a replacement for that brown/beige material on the car you are driving
Excellent runthrough Jay. I remember 308s being cheap back in the day. Not cheap enough for me though.
Same here. Remember when they could be had for 25-30k...but the parts cost if I did it all myself wasnt worth it
Great review as always James! The 308/328 are growing on me, more and more. If I were to buy a Ferrari, this and the 355 would certainly be on the list.
Your best video for a while. Thanks
A certain Ice-T music video featured a 328. Along with the lovely lady dancing next to it, a younger me thought it was the coolest car ever!
Always enjoy your Ferrari uploads.
People need to hold on to there beloved cars as ev’s are going to be a huge problem
Don't know how they're going to resell an EV... They won't be getting my money for sure. Mugs game.
Why does someone have to mention EVs on every car video that’s not about EVs. Proper broken record.
@@cobenblack1876 you moaning is like a stuck record ..do one 🫵🖕
Always enjoying your videos. Should you ever come to Mallorca, I let you drive my 993 Speedster😉
Excellent review 👍
These used to be such fantastic value. Great engine and handling. Do you think you could find a GTB Turbo for the channel? Very few people know about them and I’ve always been curious how they compare.
Long time me likey your channel for sure cool extreme. Super happy bot when you make more like this - super laughing.
I really need to have a picture next to my name of an arse or a pair of jubblies.
@@julianevans9548 I was honestly about to report you as well when I realised you were satirising the scambots!
😂Finally the right car for your shirts! Cheers from Italy
Great review! I drove a 328 and 348 the same day. I honestly like the 328 better.
It just feels better. The very same day I went 180 mph as a passenger in a 355. I have photos of the speedometer at 180mph fastest I’ve ever been and probably scariest feeling I’ve ever had.
Sure is..people have no idea til they have done it. Topped out my old 90 Zr-1 and realized at 158 I had 0 control over it after being hit with a strong crosswind and later a rabbit crossing the road. From then on I built cars to run hard to 120 and back max
Even at 120 youre pretty much along for the ride if something happens.
Love your content and watch most as soon as they become available. Question / request from a South African viewer: can you also list the KW figures per video along with the customary HP quotations?
I glaze over when you talk BHP or HP 😂
When I moved from SA to Europe in the late 90s the HP figures meant nothing to me either; I always had to convert. Now, I can only think in HP and KW is almost meaningless! But funnily enough Nm is still my go to for torque, ft-lb is nonsense. 😂
Great review of a lovely car, you need to find a nice person with a lovely Mondial t Coupe ideally not in Rosso Corsa, they are to me the best of the 328/348 era cars to drive and in a dark metallic colour I think they look amazing. Or maybe I'm odd....
I like the Mondial too, never understood why they are (were) so underrated
@@vardiet they do look a bit odd I agree but the longer wheelbase improves the handling and in darker colours I think they look great, practical too
I think the 328 nose is a lot tidier than the 308's, which betrays its age a bit.
My 1983 308 GTSi is my 3rd all-time favorite cars I've ever owned and I've been fortunate enough to have owned some cool cars over the past 35 years. Bought mine in December 1995 and sold it in 1999 and loved every minute of it. It was the right weight and size, though not a huge amount of power but it did sound great with the TUBI installed by the previous owner. While I'm all for cars with great character, my focus for the past 10 years has been on getting as much track time as I can. The last thing you care about is a brand's history or charisma when you're barreling down into Turn 17 at Sebring at 140mph, you just want great brakes and precision. The 2 best cars I've ever owned were a 2020 Porsche 718 GT4 and my current GT4RS. Would love to add a 308 or 328 for those Sunday morning drives.
Next... Mondial T Convertible :)
Thank You for the Videos & for that California T one too
I always loved the 308 GTSi QV, but have to acknowledge this to be the better car. These are still SO much nicer than the latest variants however!
Love this car.
In black or yellow it's stunning.
Matt Farah bought a black one and brought it to a top notch Ferrari expert in CA.
He explained ALL the 308's and 328's need lots of work do to age - all seals, mounts, gaskets, valves need to be replaced.
Lots of work and big $$$.
The one thing you can never get from a 328 is the shrieking eargasm of four twin choke Weber's sucking like a hurricane through the right hand door intake. This is especially true if you have a right hand drive version. It is unforgettable!
Dreamt about this car last night….. now I’m obsessed
I definitely agree about parts. Especially when compared to Porsche. When I had my old 3.2 Carrera I could buy about anything it needed new. Not so with the Ferrari. But I think it comes down to how much Ferrari still changed thing from year to year and market to market at the time. I have a US 1977 308 GTB and there are parts on it that are not just carb era specific and US market specific, but also 1977 specific. As they changed quite a few things on the US cars for 1978 dropping the power down due to emissions. However this means for some things in searching for I’m limited to the one or two hundred or so 308s that were sold in the USA in 1977 which can be very frustrating indeed. Still amazing cars though full stop. Haven’t driven a 328 yet but I’d love to so I could compare to the carb 308.
Had my gts for 4 years 20 years ago, loved every second, got my money back when I sold it
Perfect
Saying that I’d prob go for a 355 Targa manual
Became obsessed with the 308/328 when I first saw the street race between Jeff Bridges in his 911 cabrio and James Woods in a black 308 GTB in Against All Odds. The best part of the scene was easily the sound of the 308. Seriously, look it up and see for yourself. Imagine my shock when I first heard the car in real life and realised that a flat-plane crank Ferrari V8 sounds basically like a Honda 2.0 unit and nothing like it did in the film.
THANK YOU for doing this review and showing how great the Ferraris from the 80s can be! BTW - Ferrari 355 is known as the most expensive 8-cylinder Ferrari to maintain. Love the RED rear bonnet video of this 328. I have a 1985 308 QV US and prefer that do the 328. It looks less aged inside and has more room (I am 6' 3") than the 328. You forgot to mention the clicks of the gated shifter :) Good story with your father. I told my Mom, when I pointed to a Buyers Guide as a young boy that I would own that car one day - a Ferrari 308. Oh, and I also owned an E36 M3 like your father. Loved that car.
I would really like to get your opinion on Mondial 3.2 now, after you drove one of these.
I suppose because I grew up watching Magnum PI this is the car I first think of when the name Ferrari is mentioned. My all time favourite prancing horse - 328 GTS pre ABS.
328 and 348 are the most beautiful Ferraris for me
Yeah, for men like me of a certain age (mid to late fifties), this was the first Ferrari we encountered, thanks to Tom Selleck. I know that was a 308, but as James says, even Ferrari thought of the 308/328 as one in the same.
Lovely car.
The first Ferrari I ever drove, and possibly my favourite. Red, cream leather, big gated shift, I was smitten straight away.
My 308 GTSi is wonderfull and to me the 308's toggle switches have character, instead of the rocker switches on the 328
i was fortunate enough to own one of these when i lived in the south of france one thing that may not matter too much here is how hot it gets in the cabin with the roof off. the heat from the front mounted radiator rolls up the bonnet and into the cabin at low speeds making things very very toasty..still miss it though and could not afford one any more 😞
Thanks!
I've got an 89, and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Cars of this era are not fast in the modern sense, but they are SO communicative and an absolute hoot to drive! I drove my friend's 360 Modena once, and it was nowhere near as fun as the 328, despite being a bit faster. I've also had several air cooled 911's of the similar years, and while those are more or less comparable in terms of performance and driving dynamics, the 328 is more dramatic and brings a much more special feeling. Also, you're committing a mortal sin if you don't replace the factory muffler with a Tubi! So advise the owner of this one to go ahead and buy that Capristo!
The 360 is more than a bit faster. Stop trying to cope.
@@8PMFORMULA It doesn't matter. FUN is what matters, not speed, and the 328 is more fun than a 360. I can afford either car easily, and I chose the 328 and would do so again.
@turboboost99 Are you able to post a video of your Tubi exhaust? Do you have the loud or standard?
Is that a...wedding ring?
My aunty will be heart broken !
308 GT4 Dino is my favourite... I just like the angular lines of it.
Was offered a black one 2000 ,and it went for £23,000 ,now around £175,000
£23K today is a fair price, but like any prestige car, the wheeler dealer network control the supply and market price ... it worked when low interest credit was available ...
The 328 was my first ferrari. A fantastic low maintenance exotic. However being 6 ft tall my head touched the roof as often as the gear knob kept hitting my left leg😂
The 328 is peak Ferrari as an ownership experience; I enjoyed 7 happy years with mine before moving on to a manual 412 (to get the kids in). Rust isn't an issue (unless car has been crashed) and running costs not too bad (for a Ferrari). Go to a good indie, like Italia Autosport, and you shouldn't have any issues at all, while enjoying a fabulous looking car that is plenty fast enough for today's roads. Standard exhaust doesn't sound good, though - mine was transformed with a Tubi.
Lovely car
I don’t lust after one like a 355,360, testarossa etc but lovely still
Its a beautiful looking thing from just about every angle.
I am 6’1 , what is your advice, buy a 328GTS or go for a 458 spider?
It is interesting about liking 'your era'. My dad has an Austin 7 and likes everything pre 60's although can appreciate some 2000's stuff...90's and early 2000's are my era but I can appreciate all the older stuff including pre war because that's what I was brought up on, but as for most of the modern stuff 😬😬 not much of a fan, it all looks the same 🤣 but I'm not sure if I'm just old saying that! I'd still happily take a Valkyrie or Zonda though!
These little V8 have no sound, caused by the crankshaft-layout. It's acustically a 4 cylinder, no matter what you try to do with the exhaust (which in the end just makes it louder, but not sound better).
Funny thing: Back in the 80ties I owned a Fiat 124 spider and at a club meeting at a Fiat dealer a 208 turned up. When the owner was out of sight I tried it - yes, I could open up the drivers door with my Fiat key...😎
ALL Ferrari V8's are flat-crank. They ALL sound like a double 4-cyl. But the 355 and 458 sound grand nonetheless. (My F430, nice but not fantastic.)
My dream car as a teenager... still is I think.
You should drive the 308/328 GTB and GTS back to back. That would be worth a comparison video! A Tubi is a better option for a 308/328 than a valved Capristo. You can swop yourself in a hour or so even without a hoist.
Love the 308 gtb and 308 gt4, not sure I'd like to own either though. I've had some experience on both. Transfer shafts and gears made from chocolate endless oil leaks from cam seals, especially on earlier cars, as well as the typical period correct electrical faults. 355 Berlinetta is The most beautiful Ferrari ever made imo, but very expensive to maintain. As much as I would love to own a Ferrari, for now anyway I'll keep hold of my 987 Spyder.
Wondering what happened to the stock power mirrors?
i thought you were going to break out your inner Frankie Howard at that junction.Ha ha
2:20 don't forget the 208, a 1996cc turbo 308, designed for the home market (and possibly others?) where tax goes up (I think from 18% to 30%???) based on displacement being 2L or more. 208, 308, and 328 were all "basically the same car."
any 80s Ferrari or Porsche would be amazing.
I think Magnum did progress to a 328 in later series. It made sense from a continuity perspective as the car was blown up and 'repaired' on a number of occasions.
I remember when I started watching your channel you only had a Subaru now you own 3 Ferraris how times have changed!
I preferred the channel back then. Rarely watch now.
We're riding with ya.
Beverly Hills Cop 2 is where I fell in love with this, but a Magnum PI spec would also please............
Did you know that movie used both the 308 and 328.if you watch the opening sequences you will see the 308.bonnet grills are used as well as the 328 bonnet in other shots.
@@minatormyth No, I never noticed that before. Now I have to look at that movie again. Thanks 🙏
@minatormyth I noticed that as well, when I was a kid
Great video, really enjoyed this one James! I really struggle with the value of these 328s. In my opinion, they’re not a patch on the cosmetic wow of a 308, and the interior is a bit in no man’s land (much prefer the 308s) - yet comparatively, a lot more valuable? Yes, a little more power, but these days, who’s going to drive either hard enough to notice. The price point they occupy is F355 territory, and if you’re going to buy one at £90k rather than a 355 at the same price because maintenance bills are less, then that’s mental - you’re paying £90k for a car, so should be able to afford the bills! My 5pence worth anyway!
The cost of servicing the 355 is most likely why they trade for similar money. They have for at least 15 years. Most people love the 355 (I love it too), but engine out every 3 yrs for the belts? In California that is very expensive. We pay $200 per hour for an independent here now. That adds up and has very real impacts on wealth over time, especially when I can work on the 328 myself for free. And all you get is a little extra performance and that 355 sound. That has value, but to me, wasn’t worth it. Plus the 328 was one of the last cars produced under Enzo. He was long gone by the 355. Some people don’t care about that, but he’s gone and never coming back. As a collector, that’s meaningful to me.
This video needs some sort of Axel F music in the beginning. The "older" Ferraris always amaze. Sure, we know they might be rubbish in terms of buildquality or even simple running the thing but they scream 1980es in a really charming way.
Always preferred the GTB for the UK market. Also, you should have worn a more colourful shirt!
I prefer the GTB - just a perfect styling classic
The best looking Ferrari ever made in my opinion.
Tempting. I thought about this model alot, but felt that the 355 looks and sounds better, not to mention the dynamics...but on a A/B Road, I am sure both feel as fun and enjoyable to drive as the other.
all time top ten dream machine
This was the Ferrari I wanted as a kid... until the 288GTO came along. That is, for me the ultimate. For me both more than the F40
Compared to the cheap looking fairground styled dash on the modern Ferrari featured on the channel recently that car's dash is lovely and simple.
Let your friend know that the guts of the mirror switch is the same as that of the series 1 Alfa Romeo 164. The more you know.....
That would be my choice but I could’ve sworn it was a 308 the Magnum PI car I’ll keep watching your video and see maybe you’ll tell me.Wow thanks, that was a lot of awesome info OK I guess I needed that. I may have a 911 but I still wanna 308!
I'm wondering if the 308-328 (even the DINO) would have been that popular if they did not have these grooves (air intakes) on both sides incorporated in the design? They are making all the difference and it is in details like that you can tell a designer like LEONARDO FIORAVANTI is a genius.
You should find a Jalpa to review!
Absolutely gorgeous cars and I love the 328 over the 308 in looks too. The issue is you can buy a 3.2 Carrera for less thats almost bulletproof and has the same or better performance. These 308s/328s were never great performers given their price. A 1987 911 Turbo which was about the same price new in 1987 would leave a 328 in the tumbleweeds. But I get the Ferrari panache and exclusivity and just on looks alone they are wonderful eye candy. I would try to find an off-color one like white, silver, yellow, or blue. Probably 85% of them are Corsa Red on Beige.
What was the handling like in the corners and windy roads?
Very good - steering communicative, grip better than expected despite it being quite cold. The biggest issue was the lack of rigidity which robs a bit of confidence
Bonnet vents are the big giveaway between the 2
Silhouette is absolutely stunning. Last pretty Ferrari made.
Prices in the States are quite a bit more, it would seem. Almost 285,000 dollars for a 2900-mile car, down to 150,000 dollars for a 15,000-mile car. Depending on where you buy this Ferrari, also seems to affect the price by 50,000 dollars or more. I guess collectors have made there affections known. Awesome video as always... I'm hoping you can complete your Ferrari video compilation. 😊
I'm going to check your video back log to see if you've driven the 308GT4, my oddball favorite 70's Ferrari, no explanation.
In the US you’re looking at well under $100k for a GTS with under 50k mi. They crept up during the pandemic but they’ve settled. But, if you’d like to pay $150k for mine I’m happy to work out a deal :) it’s a great car.
@@GTC4cam ...lol, yeah I just went to the Dupont Registry website and looked at 308gtS models for sale now around the country, with a few in Canada. Maybe I had it set for most expensive listed first. The 285,000 dollar 328 was a 2900-mile car in Las Vegas, there was a 185,000 dollar car with a little over 11,000 miles in Fort Lauderdale. Just repeating the prices of 328s that are listed today on that website.
does it come with free sideburns, moustache and a mullet and Aviators in the glove box??
No, but it comes with holes in the floor so Fred can run faster...
Such cool cars, but I just don't fit in them. 6'3" with 36" inseam.
Got to drive a friend's 328 GTS and it was impossible for me to heel toe and the pedal box was so cramped. The entire experience was just stressful as a result.
My F355 GTS was much more drivable, but obviously the F355 GTS have gone crazy with pricing these days.
I'm sure i hear that Tom Selleck was too tall for the 308 which is why it has to be a GTS and was never seen with the roof panel on, him famously dumping it at the side of the road in the opening scenes.
Had a 328 GTS back in the early 90s and also a 308 GTS.
328 was a much better car in every respect, but didn't actually seem that fast. A 944 S2 would give it a run for its money.
I was the 6th owner and it had only done 4,000 miles!
Individual who originally ordered it, apparently sold it for £250k without even taking delivery, such was the market at the time. By the time I bought it, prices were back to normal.
A colleague had a new 328 on order, but that was turned into a 348, as the list was so long and 328 production was ending. He was looking at a 1991 delivery. As the recession bit, people were cancelling left right and centre.
He got a call one day saying he could have the car next month, this was early 1990. He, like others, was only into it to sell the car on for a decent profit. He cancelled his order as well!
Jay, great review. So 328 or 355?
For me, 355.
Thanks. Any specific reason? Performance, look…I love the 355 look but have good memories when my parents rented a 328 for a weekend in 1989. I have not driven the 355 though.
I cross shopped 355 and 328 when I bought mine in 2007. 355 has a bit more performance but not a lot. And 355 is great, still love the 355, but, big service bills with the 355 whereas I’ve self maintained my 328 for 16 years for less than $500/ yr so far.
