Ferrari 360 Modena
Strength:
Engine yells like a girl in heat. With pipes this thing sounds mean. This and the 355, are, personally, the best sounding cars on earth. Beautiful exterior styling. Love the glass engine cover. Very quick, revs very high (8500 rpm), and chicks loooooove it. Interior is very flashy.
Weakness:
Some of the buttons in the interior have a cheapy feel --> HEY, you want luxury, buy a Benz, you want car? buy a Ferrari I would recommend this car for those who buy a car for a cars sake. Similar Products Used: 355 --> 360 is more powerful, other than that, I love 355 |

I LOVE THIS CAR! It is poetry in motion. You can treat it as a car and drive it almost daily or you can treat it like a piece of beautiful sculpture. I do both. Sometimes I pull up a chair in the garage and just look at it from different angles. WOW!
Weakness:
It doesn't have any weaknesses. Anyone who finds even the most minor fault in the 360 shoulf be exiled to Romania. If you can afford one and if you can find one, buy it. You will never regret your decision. Similar Products Used: 265GTB, 328, 355 etc. The 360 is the latest and greatest of a long line |

F360M
Strength:
Awesome acceleration...acceleration from 6K to 9K RPM is unbelieble. The noise that goes with it is race car like. F1 transmission very intuitive and super quick. It's impossible to break traction during hard cornering on the public roads. Probably need a race track and lots of nerves. Very roomy for 6+ footers. Beautiful car, gets lots of attention.
Weakness:
Rear visibility, cheap looking clock on the roof. Hard to read fuel gauge. Could be abit challenging to drive at slow speeds to be very sensitive throttle. The 360 can be considered a bargain at $170K (plus tax). It get's F40's thrill at half the price. No other car even comes close in terms of thrill. The new 911 Turbo may be faster but has zero fun factor compared to the 360. The ultimate driving experience bar the Mclaren F1 , F40, F50 and Diablo 600...that's it. Similar Products Used: Ferrari 456GT - Probably as fast but doesn't feel like it. Outclassed by 360 in handling. But tremendous engine and noise (w/ Tubi) |

Strength:
Head turner. unreal exaust note. lighter than 355. could be scary in spider form with the same hp as the coupe. car looks awesome at every angle-especially head on and from the rear. nothing touches it.
Weakness:
too much aluminum. I paid slightly over sticker. worth every penny and will hold its value through and beyond the intro of the spider. watch your color choice, resale is tougher with blue. best color-grigio alloy and black. i like this car more than the 550. Similar Products Used: 911 carrera. 360 is much more fun to drive |

Strength:
Extremely fast, great torgue, awesome style, very smooth for an exotic sports car, great stereo system.
Weakness:
Expensive - not fuel-efficient at all, have to be careful when parking - front bumper is too long from front wheel base so it scratches easily. I got this car as a graduation present from my father; before, I used to take his NSX out once or twice a week. I like the NSX more because I don't have to be too careful with it when driving. The NSX is more flexible - the car's suspension system does surprisingly well over rough road. However, I have to be extremely careful when taking the Modena out, and that takes away some of the fun. I cannot do sharp turns or risky acceleration with the Ferrari, while I occasionally step full on the gas pedal on the NSX. Modena is faster than the NSX, it has got more torgue, and the car sticks to the road like glue. But still, I very rarely find myself testing out the car's potentials (IT'S A FERRARI, YOU KNOW !) If you are an exotic car first-time buyer, I would recommend the NSX or the Porches Carrera first. Get some driving experience with those two before you get your hands on the Ferrari. Similar Products Used: Acura NSX - I like the NSX better, it's more fun to drive. However, I find myself driving the Modena more often because it's more prestigious - and though good, the NSX still has the Japanese feeling. |

Strength:
Ridiculous speed and acceleration, absolutely goregeous design, attracts more females than spring break at cancun. I could go on, but those are the most important strenghts (not necessarily in that order).
Weakness:
Is not more than a two passenger car. When you have two or three beautiful young ladies yearning for your affection you might want to be able to seat more than one passenger. My rating may seem a little over inflated since the only reason I can even afford one of these incredible machines is because I won a considerable amount of money from the lottery game power ball. Being as un-biased as I can, I would have to say that the only feeling that rivals the thrill of driving this extraordinary car is the filling I get when I take home a beautiful admirer of the car. I'm not the most attractive guy around so if you've got some G.Q. looks you would probably be even more appreciative of the wonders this car can do for you. I whole heartedly recommend this car to all men. It is an absolutly euphoric experience to drive and the chick factor doesn't hurt either! Similar Products Used: I've never driven a similar vehicle. Before I won at power ball I drove a Dodge Neon. You can imagine how much more pleased I am to hop into my Ferrari. |

Strength:
Nothing. Actually, it serves to identify the individuals who like to squander their money on worthless cars.
Weakness:
It exists. Nothing can rescue this car from its pathetic engine; giving it an aerodynamic body is about as useful as adding an enormous spoiler to a minivan. There's only one word to describe this famed, painstakingly crafted automobile: trash. This car disgusts me. My grandmother can walk faster than this car, and she has no legs. I would sell this car, but nobody deserves the agony of driving this waste of aluminum. I plan to salvage this car to make a roll of aluminum foil. At least then it will serve a purpose. If you aim to waste this amount of money, I suggest you start a bonfire with it instead. Or, purchase the gasoline that this gas-guzzler would waste, and create a giant fireball. You'll have much more fun this way than you would in this cramped car. Similar Products Used: Hyundai Tiburon - Same looks for 10% of the cost. The 360 Modena was so slow, I didn't care about the difference in performance. |
