This car was the reason I discovered Doug's channel back in 2018, when I watched his video about the problems he had faced with his then-own Ferrari 360. Ah, memories...
I may be mistaken but I first watching Doug when he bought his 360 and I still go back and watch them sometimes, it’s amazing how far he’s gotten in these 9 years. Love what you do Doug.
I’ve watched him from around that time too, him, Regular Car Reviews and Mighty Car Mods were (and are) the only worthwhile car channels on TH-cam. Still roll my eyes almost every video but keep coming back for some reason
Favorite Ferrari. It was in the intro of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 and for some reason it was treated as the hardest/final car to unlock. It was treated as the "NFS: Edition" version of the 360 Spider so it had improved acceleration and a slightly higher top speed. Oddly enough, even though all of the rest of the "NFS: Edition" cars had only one default color/livery; the 360 Modena was the only one with 5 full color options.
I owned a 2000 360 Modena 6 speed bought at 17xxx and sold it at 45xxx miles over 7 years and had absolutely no issues. Oil change and regular maintenance every year...that was all!
Saw this car's big brother, the F430 at my local gas station a couple days ago. Up close these era Ferraris give you a 'feeling' that a lot of modern supercar designs don't. Very striking car visually
This is really the Ferrari you want all around. You get one with relatively low mileage like this that’s clearly being taken care of and you can trust to own it for maybe a year and really enjoy owning a beautiful Ferrari and being able to afford to keep it that long without losing the value you put in and maybe even daily it for the time if you feel safe enough to do so until you’re ready to sell it with maybe only about 10k more miles on it. But that was 10000 miles of an absolute childhood dream come true experience that doesn’t make you regret having it before you let it go to the next enthusiast that would truly enjoy it.
This Ferrari has aged absolutely splendidly. And the more intricate and crazy they look with every new generation, the more they stray away from a achieving timeless look
Exactly. They were beautiful in a timeless way back then. Now they're impressive looking but not pretty. Except for the Roma. That's the only truly beautiful Ferrari they made since quite a while.
I once read someone who remarked that this was the “lowest point” of Ferrari design. Imo I think this and the 550/575 have aged incredibly well. The 360 looks at-least half its age. The giant clear headlight covers almost remind me of some kind of 60’s LeMans racer prototype, and those massive side air intakes are perfect. Whenever I look at the F430 I can’t help but think how it goes slightly backwards with it’s skinny little lights and strange grinning front end.
I strongly recommend XPEL clear PPF on the headlights because you don’t want anything to happen to them as they are no longer available from Ferrari. The lens is glued on. The inside is color matched to the car. And they run $3-4,000 apiece used if you can find them.
I think it's because if he did use it, the fan would be blowing on the camera, interfering with the audio, and same thing would've happened if he opened the windows.
An '04 spider in red over tan was my first exotic. It had its share of issues and wear but was a fantastic car to drive. Felt almost like a go-kart. Nothing like a 5-valve flat-plane V8!
This was the main Ferrari being sold when I first remember being interested in cars and dreaming about what I wanted to drive. So the 360 has always been one of the primary images in my head when I think Ferrari. I remember ogling a red one that was a giveaway prize or something on display at Mall of America. The see through engine cover was awesome at the time.
My dad has owned a manual 360 spider for a couple of years, it's such a fun car. He's toyed with the idea of replacing it with a 458, but the gated manual is irreplaceable. Also, this is the car that will remind you that 400hp is plenty for a road car. Sure, it could be faster, but this is approachable and doesn't get you to felony speeds if you floor it for more than 2 seconds.
You only have to turn fan knob to the fan symbol position and everything shuts off. Putting it to “aut” will auto run the system to whatever temp you set on the middle dial. Pushing the “stop” button turns off the AC compressor but allows you to run the fans if you just want to ventilate the cabin with air from the outside. You don’t have to touch the “stop” button to turn off the AC system.
Same here. It's the super car I've always dreamt of owning since it came out. 2nd best sounding also, especially with a Tubi exhaust. LOVE that wail! But it's gotta be rosso corsa for me, classic Ferrari.
I didn't particularly like how the 360 looked when it first came out but I've softened on it quite a bit. The front is still a bit gangly, an aftermarket 360CS style bumper (if such a thing exists) would be a very tempting modification, but it does have some very nice lines to it.
When Doug flashes to the 355/348 interiors my eyes widened and the voice inside me said “THAT, is where I want to be....home” I know there are 360s with tan interiors....but it’s everything else as well The 355&348 are just perfect
I still want this as a dream car. Ever since I played Hot Pursuit 2 on the PS2 (best version btw) I’ve been in love. It’s a goal for myself to even drive one. Seeing Doug review it again just puts a smile on my face like no other
The Doug we love , in the Ferrari we love. After spining the world and see every supercar from 1980 until today i finally decided , a 360 Modena with a simple 6 speed manual transmition with the beloved V8 engine is the best choise for me. Nothing more nothing less , not F1 gearshift , no Challenge Stradale , no extra things , no lightwight , no other rims , no more performance , no nothing , just a pure an original Ferrari 360 Modena with black interior and red , yellow or black exterior.
The 360 was my first supercar love. I was a huge fan of sport compact car magazine and every year they did the ultimate streetcar challenge. James Chen brought a stock 360 with upgraded tires and an aggressive alignment and beat up on big turbo supras and GTR sky lines posting leads of almost 10 seconds in lap times better than the rest of the field. I always assumed a 900 horsepower Supra would destroy any super car but it was the 360 that put it all in perspective for me.
They are an underrated and really important transitional car for Ferrari. Lots of new tech including the aluminium construction, easy service access etc but old school mechanics and no buttons on the wheel. I’ve never been a fan of the look of the front straight on but even that’s growing on me…….and the cycle back from excessive angular HyperCard to the recent curvier 296 hybrid makes this look surprisingly modern. Especially if you can get one with the factory carbon sports seats.
I used to commute to a genomics company in Palo Alto from the east bay. This was just post the new millenium and I always took 280. One of America's best scenic and gorgeous superhighways. And when I saw a newly minted Modena I'd start chortling, "that better have the F1 gearbox!! CHE BELLA MACCHINA!, and "oh that's probably some Oracle nerd". To exactly no one. Exceptin' my cup of Peets. By the way 'y'all, a Peets will Keep in a hot roasting car parked carelessly in the sun. The only negative at the literal end of the day is that the now hot again Peets just don't go down right on a scorcher. That clunky Gen 1 F1 'box was like goll darn rocket science then. "Wah....but nothing like dual clutch boxes Stefan." Yes. These dual clutch boxes and logic are insanely good. You gotta remember this is a guy that took an oath to never buy a wuss mobile with a slush box. Evah! So Godly inefficent. I literally applauded when full lock up TCs appeared. Finally...some fresh thinking from the big three was the last thing I wanna remember about. And yes, today's 10 gear wunderkind TC autos are really good. I simply hate torque converters for reasons known only to Saint Petty. ┐( ∵ )┌ Oh but wait. I did own one slushbox. The first car I bought was a '69 Mach One with the C6 tranny and the 428 Cobra Jet. With the shaker scoop. Some clown heisted the scoop in Oakland back in ''85...a mere 50 feet from where I snored. Even then the replacement was 900 bucks. Used of course. Back then you had to call ALL around to locate vintage and specialty parts. There were a few OEM scoops floating around in the pre-internet world, but you could spend days chasing after them and I heard a price around 3 grand for a new but well aged shaker scoop. In the 80s. That thing was a beast and I was lucky I never stacked her up. Mucho fun was had though...trust me. It had a shift kit and the guy I bought it from had tossed in a set of TRW 10:1 dome heads. I never dyno'ed it, but it was good for mid 12 et's in the 1/4. The torque and the sweet aftermarket tach on the steering column were some of the memorable aspects of that car. Those 69 and 70 Mustangs are up there in the muscular curves and bad ass sexiness quotient in my book.
This is my favorite Ferrari model. I wanted one when it first came out, and I still want one. A sensible, yet fun sports car. I love the color. Thanks for the review, Doug!🙂
I am fully convinced that the 360 is the best model to get for someone who has never owned a Ferrari. It is still simple enough to be able to do DIY, the engine is reliable with multiple cars going over 60k miles and it screams at 8750rpms. Belts are not an engine out job and fairly reasonable at approx $2700 every 4-5 years. Performance wise, it’s not a rocket but is the power you need to have fun on the road. Plus it has ground effects! How cool is that? Personally, I find the design still contemporary
Doug’s 360 Modena reviews is what got me hooked on demuro videos from back in the day. Remember the video where he said can a Ferrari pick up women? And the result was no and his advice was “get a dog”. Took his advice got a dog and I have got laid twice since than.
I really like that 360 and the fact that it's a manual makes it that much better I wish I could afford a car like that right now it would definitely bring my spirits up
Honestly the 360 is the Ferrari to get, along with the 550/575M. They’re just new enough that everything worked properly as it should, but not so new that it’s ruined by electronics and the lack of a manual.
I've been following Doug since he owned a 360. It's good to see him fully explain the "quirks and features." Now we just need him to review his Nissan Cube and S-Cargo, and who could forget the CarMax bumper-to-bumper Range Rover?
This is probably my 2nd favorite Ferrari model, just behind the 458 Italia. In my opinion these two cars have the nicest styling of anything Ferrari has ever made to this day.
I was never a huge fan of the design of the 360. But now that I'm starting to pick up the various styling details that pay homage to the 246 Dino, it's growing on me.
I’d love to just drive ANY Ferrari for a day. Owning one would be an absolute dream. It’s amazing to me though, how much the exteriors of cars can sort of stay so evergreen, but the interiors now change SO much and show their age. Not just with styling, but much more so with technology. I’ve only owned 4 brand new cars in my life, but each time I’ve gone to look at a new one, my mind is blown by how much more modern the interiors have gotten. From my first car that had a CD player, to Bluetooth for my phone, to the first with built in GPS, to many other things like backup cameras and proximity alerts. Now cars have adaptive cruise control, screens all over than can be customized, and all sorts of things that when I was a little kid would have been total fantasy. And I’m only 44. It’s not as if I’m 95 or something.
I think that this is one of the coolest Ferraris out there, even tho it's not many people's favorite. After all, it was the successor of my favorite Ferrari (along with the Testarossa), the F355
I have a 99, there were no issues with the early cars and there were really not many changes between years. Actually the 99s are lighter and do not have the pre catalytic converters in the headers, which are prone to failure.🤓
For anybody wondering if the horn at 7:08 is stock or not, it isn't. The 360 never had the absurd sounding classic Italian car horn, it just had a normal sounding horn like every other car. In fact, the F355 was the last ever Ferrari to have the absurd sounding Italian horn. Every Ferrari after that switched to a more normal sounding horn.
The 360 has been my main dream car since I was a kid because I was between 6 to 10 years old when this was the top dog. I remember seeing it in all the magazines and falling absolutely in love with the way it looked. Crazy to find out that it's one of the most "reliable" modern classics now and arguably the best first Ferrari. Maybe by the time I'm 40 I'll have figured out how to make enough money to afford one haha. 😭
I've had my eye on one of these for when I graduate and can treat myself after a few years work. I've loved them for all the reasons Doug mentioned, and it's even better to know they're relatively reliable and that I should aim for a later production model for better even better reliability. Couldn't agree more about how this car is the perfect sweet spot Ferrari for the cost!
After a couple of good work bonuses I was able to rent both a Ferrari 360 Spyder, I think an 03 and an ‘05 430 hardtop. Both for 2 days each. The 360 was really let down by the F1 transmission. It was horrible in traffic and only shifted semi fast at full throttle. The 430 was fantastic though. I had no idea the manuals were that rare when I rented it. At the time(‘07) I’m sure the manuals were probably the cheaper option.
A long time ago I helped a Toronto-area exotic car rental startup get on its feet. I was renting out the owner's posh basement apartment when I was just in my early 20s bachelor days, and doing some work on the side. I'll never forget Saturday morning, he comes downstairs banging on the door saying "WAKE UP, GET OUT HERE!!" Half-groggy at 8AM, I got dressed and went outside, and found out he had just purchased a 360 Modena, identical to this one, but in red. He handed me the keys and said "Go!" Needless to say, I woke up fast, we hit the road, and it was my very first Ferrari driving experience. This is one of those cars you never forget. It may not be the most authentic Ferrari of the bunch, but it certainly has a spot in my memory.....burnt-in, and Ferrari red.
it’s extremely affordable, you cant afford 120-150k?? its hard for me too understand this?? where i live everyone has 2 million dollar plus houses and mclarens and ferrari’s so ill just never understand why someone cant afford a cheap car for 150k
I LOVE the angle at 1:15 ... such a beautiful car, great wheels and the paint in this shot is spot on - nice and flat. unfortunately it appears to be far more saturated in other shots. apart from the sidemarkers this is the sexiest 360 i have seen. really diggin it and i wish i could afford one.
Why driving a supercar to shopping complex is more practical - because the trunk is at the front, it is easier to store all the items that you bought in the trunk. That is if you reverse park of course, which is usually the case.
Such a Pininfarina Masterpiece!! To me Ferrari Golden age was 360,550,456 and Enzo (even thou the Enzo started the nonsense alocation and pricing, but great car in a vacum) thanks Montezomola!!!

You can’t afford to buy one or can you ?
I wouldn't say it's a "sensible" sports car.
Maintenance will still be absolutely crazy expensive and the car will probably need a lot of it.

The SOUND
The 360 is my dream car, It's my favorite ferrari. I guess early 2000s media did its job
I love this car. Was one of the first supercars that got me into cars
I am fully convinced that the 360 is the best model to get for someone who has never owned a Ferrari. It is still simple enough to be able to do DIY, the engine is reliable with multiple cars going over 60k miles and it screams at 8750rpms. Belts are not an engine out job and fairly reasonable at approx $2700 every 4-5 years. Performance wise, it’s not a rocket but is the power you need to have fun on the road. Plus it has ground effects! How cool is that? Personally, I find the design still contemporary
Doug’s 360 Modena reviews is what got me hooked on demuro videos from back in the day. Remember the video where he said can a Ferrari pick up women? And the result was no and his advice was “get a dog”. Took his advice got a dog and I have got laid twice since than.
I really like that 360 and the fact that it's a manual makes it that much better I wish I could afford a car like that right now it would definitely bring my spirits up
this is the ferrari i have always loved the most, i think there is nothing better than a yellow 360 modena, convertible and with manual transmission
Original fans will remember Doug used to own one of these, the nostalgia!!!
Honestly the 360 is the Ferrari to get, along with the 550/575M. They’re just new enough that everything worked properly as it should, but not so new that it’s ruined by electronics and the lack of a manual.
I've been following Doug since he owned a 360. It's good to see him fully explain the "quirks and features."
Now we just need him to review his Nissan Cube and S-Cargo, and who could forget the CarMax bumper-to-bumper Range Rover?
WHY DIDN’T YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALER?! Although, I also remember the cookie. It was said to have been a good cookie.
This is probably my 2nd favorite Ferrari model, just behind the 458 Italia. In my opinion these two cars have the nicest styling of anything Ferrari has ever made to this day.
I was never a huge fan of the design of the 360. But now that I'm starting to pick up the various styling details that pay homage to the 246 Dino, it's growing on me.
I’d love to just drive ANY Ferrari for a day. Owning one would be an absolute dream. It’s amazing to me though, how much the exteriors of cars can sort of stay so evergreen, but the interiors now change SO much and show their age. Not just with styling, but much more so with technology. I’ve only owned 4 brand new cars in my life, but each time I’ve gone to look at a new one, my mind is blown by how much more modern the interiors have gotten. From my first car that had a CD player, to Bluetooth for my phone, to the first with built in GPS, to many other things like backup cameras and proximity alerts. Now cars have adaptive cruise control, screens all over than can be customized, and all sorts of things that when I was a little kid would have been total fantasy. And I’m only 44. It’s not as if I’m 95 or something.
It really is beautiful! Great video as always Doug!
Coco Hayashi (also Ferrari supercars fan) loves this hardest car to unlock in Hot Pursuit 2.
This car is just perfect simple and beautiful sport car, NA v8, manual no screens just perfect
I think that this is one of the coolest Ferraris out there, even tho it's not many people's favorite. After all, it was the successor of my favorite Ferrari (along with the Testarossa), the F355
still cant believe that thing 20 years old... hasnt aged at all, what a beauty~
The glass engine cover was the coolest thing ever to me as a kid playing NFS Hot Pursuit 2
I have a 99, there were no issues with the early cars and there were really not many changes between years.
Actually the 99s are lighter and do not have the pre catalytic converters in the headers, which are prone to failure.🤓
I just love how simple and classic this design Is. Emblematic of the 2000s
Agreed. I know it's nostalgia bias but this looks somehow more ferrari than a modern one.
Doug: If you don't want sticker price shock, this is for you!
Also Doug: This is the final year production, gated manual one, everyone wants! Lol
Hot Pursuit 2 babyyyyyyyyyy what a classic design this car has!
Doug, the type of guy that will become a sweaty mop to bring you a noise-free interior review.
Doug, seriously, don't head straight for the final Dougscore, we all need to know why a certain score is given to every category
Completely agree, really miss that
One of the best looking modern ferraris ever made.
This was Ferrari's E46 M3. Timeless design, simple yet modern interior, small, nimble
OMG manual transmission yessssss 😁👌🏻 no stupid screens and mystery buttons everywhere just driving stuff awesome
For anybody wondering if the horn at 7:08 is stock or not, it isn't. The 360 never had the absurd sounding classic Italian car horn, it just had a normal sounding horn like every other car. In fact, the F355 was the last ever Ferrari to have the absurd sounding Italian horn. Every Ferrari after that switched to a more normal sounding horn.
The 360 has been my main dream car since I was a kid because I was between 6 to 10 years old when this was the top dog. I remember seeing it in all the magazines and falling absolutely in love with the way it looked. Crazy to find out that it's one of the most "reliable" modern classics now and arguably the best first Ferrari. Maybe by the time I'm 40 I'll have figured out how to make enough money to afford one haha. 😭
Looking forward to your Grand Highlander, Lexus TX, and ID Buzz Longwheelbase videos!
Your videos when you had your 360 is when I started to watch your videos. You were my favorite then and hasn't changed!
One of the most gorgeous cars ever made imo.
I've had my eye on one of these for when I graduate and can treat myself after a few years work. I've loved them for all the reasons Doug mentioned, and it's even better to know they're relatively reliable and that I should aim for a later production model for better even better reliability. Couldn't agree more about how this car is the perfect sweet spot Ferrari for the cost!
i have one, they aren't reliable at all and cost a lot to fix
Like for the manual
i love the 360s theyre among my favorite ferraris
This and the 575 still look amazing. You can tell they're old but it doesn't matter, they're stunning.
I love the 575, especially the Superamerica. What an amazing time for Ferrari.
"A stick to stir it with". And this is why we love Doug.
Beautiful car ❤
the last mid engine ferrari that comes with access hole for the engine at the back of the seats
This video made me go back to watch the old Doug videos with his own Ferrari 360 Modena
Every time Doug says 'Modena', every Italian on earth sticks ice picks into their ears.
He got it sort of right. Mah-di-nuh instead of moe-dean-uh Enzo's birthplace for those who didn't know.
After a couple of good work bonuses I was able to rent both a Ferrari 360 Spyder, I think an 03 and an ‘05 430 hardtop. Both for 2 days each. The 360 was really let down by the F1 transmission. It was horrible in traffic and only shifted semi fast at full throttle. The 430 was fantastic though. I had no idea the manuals were that rare when I rented it. At the time(‘07) I’m sure the manuals were probably the cheaper option.
My dads bud owns a red 360 with a gated manual, glad you got to film one so I can learn more
Doug the kind of guy who blames climate change on his height going from 6ft 4in to 6ft 3in
A long time ago I helped a Toronto-area exotic car rental startup get on its feet. I was renting out the owner's posh basement apartment when I was just in my early 20s bachelor days, and doing some work on the side. I'll never forget Saturday morning, he comes downstairs banging on the door saying "WAKE UP, GET OUT HERE!!" Half-groggy at 8AM, I got dressed and went outside, and found out he had just purchased a 360 Modena, identical to this one, but in red. He handed me the keys and said "Go!" Needless to say, I woke up fast, we hit the road, and it was my very first Ferrari driving experience. This is one of those cars you never forget. It may not be the most authentic Ferrari of the bunch, but it certainly has a spot in my memory.....burnt-in, and Ferrari red.
Ah yes, the MODNA
Moe’s DNA has left the shat?
This is probably my favorite Ferrari. It’s the Ferrari that was out when I was a young teenager and it’s always stuck with me.
Growing up in the 2000s, the 360 was THE Ferrari. The Ferrariest Ferrari to have ever Ferraried
Doug, I really love your approach to life. God bless you Sir.
“Mode - Na”?🤔 This whole time I thought it was pronounced “Mo - Dey - Na” 🤷♂️
FYI, there were some 3 examples of the CS (Challenge Stradale) that came with a manual gearbox.
My favourite Ferrari of all time - still unaffordable, but we can dream
it’s extremely affordable, you cant afford 120-150k?? its hard for me too understand this?? where i live everyone has 2 million dollar plus houses and mclarens and ferrari’s so ill just never understand why someone cant afford a cheap car for 150k
You’re delusional or trolling
The videos that you made with your ferrari was the reason why I started following you
The 360 and the 430 are also two of my favorites aesthetics-wise. At the top of that list is probably the 458 but those will never be "approachable".
I remembered a lot about this Ferrari 360 Modena on NFS HOT PURSUIT 2. One of the best NFS games ever! Its been 21 years since that game came out.
I like it when Doug reviews a car he has experience with
“The AC just works.” …3 minutes later, Doug is sweating profusely 😂
Dude is drenched!
I’d also look at 348 in the price point, I think later versions of it are also pretty reliable and she has such a nice look
One of my favorite old Ferrari’s
I LOVE the angle at 1:15 ... such a beautiful car, great wheels and the paint in this shot is spot on - nice and flat. unfortunately it appears to be far more saturated in other shots. apart from the sidemarkers this is the sexiest 360 i have seen. really diggin it and i wish i could afford one.
Why driving a supercar to shopping complex is more practical - because the trunk is at the front, it is easier to store all the items that you bought in the trunk. That is if you reverse park of course, which is usually the case.
This was always my fav looking car. It's the perfect Ferrari to me. Not too subtle. Not too flashy. The Goldilocks Ferrari.
Owned 3 of these over the years and all 3 were more reliable and cost less during ownership than my everyday BMW X3 did...
Such a Pininfarina Masterpiece!! To me Ferrari Golden age was 360,550,456 and Enzo (even thou the Enzo started the nonsense alocation and pricing, but great car in a vacum) thanks Montezomola!!!
Friggin gorgeous car. That side profile is PERFECT
