The Ferrari F355 is my favorite Ferrari... almost. I drove this 1997 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta to explain exactly what I mean.

I have owned a 355 for 12 years. I can say that in my case the "almost" issues are greatly exaggerated. Most of these cars do less than 3000 miles per year. You can absolutely go 7 years between engine out services. Also, the valve guide are not 100% failure. there are many 355's (including mine) that have the original valve guides without any indication of needing replacement. If you do need them replaced, you piggy back that on an engine out service and save a lot of dough. I proactively replaced my headers at a cost of $3K. Lastly, my independent Ferrari mechanic charges me $4500 for the engine out service. Those are real numbers from an actual owner. Treat the car right, and it will in return. Drive it, it needs it. When they sit for long periods of time, they tend to have issues. By the way, I'm not some rich guy. These cars are very affordable. Get one before the prices spike.
Thanks For The Info!!!

It’s a timeless looking Ferrari. Just beautiful.
True
and flammable
@@chmclips121 drive it during the winter and you are good
It isn't timeless but it surely is beautiful
I agree with this statement. Really looks great in any era.
The "almost" is from the ticking time bomb of the engine exploding into flames...as Doug warned Hoovie.
Sad, but at least it was a Spider.
most f355 do explode but there are many f355's that didn't go to that expensive maintenance and cost a little to run. Tyler Hoover's ferrari is one of those unlucky ones. he also did a mistake picking it up as the first owner honestly said to him that it had engine problems and there is a probability of explosion ...the first owner actually said to him also that he just called a tow truck and towed it...which if he did run it at that time ... it had a huge probability of bursting into flames.....i wished that parker nirenstein (Vehicle Virgins) do that instead of listening to his trusty mechanic that the car was safe to run
There are 2 reasons why I hate Ferrari.
1) they burst into flames.
2) they're too expensive for what it is. IE: California, laferrari,599, f12 berlinetta, 458, 488.
Mine has gone 22 years without a fire. At this rate I might be cremated before it is.
@@RustyDog41 Hiw hard is it to just replace the fuel line and relocate it? Bearing in mind that it would destroy the original state of the vehicle and thus probably devalue it tremendously.
Im gonna have to start a lemonade stand to afford that

Pickles 420 very original joke man!
Got any grapes?

Pickles 420 there's always money in the banana stand 😉
Definitely one of the first cars that pops in my head when I think of Ferrari- along with the F40.
Jeff Cook F50, I love the 355 every since fnf 1 and the 288 GTO as I mentioned in a earlier comment
100% true - 355, F40 and F50, after that 288GTO and Testarossa or 512TR.
But always love "cheap" Mondial :D
It was all those old NFS games (3, High Stakes, PU) that made a lasting appeal to these 90's cars.
I'm with you on the Mondial. It's kind of a POS but I have a real soft spot for them.
nah. that would be the testarossa. this is a mazda
Good old days of NFS Hot Pursuit III
Need for Speed II gang ✌🏼
Nostalgia hit me so hard. Corvette my fav car by the way
*_laughs in gran turismo_*
Yaaaaaaas, NFS II. That was my childhood right there.
Yeah inplayed that game
One time in Orlando Florida about 2003, I was sitting at a stoplight waiting for it to turn green. As I was waiting, I heard possibly the most amazing automotive sound I have ever heard before, or since, coming up behind me. As I sat there it very quickly arrived. It was a bright red Ferrari F355 racing to catch the green turn lane signal for entry onto the interstate. That thing raised the hair on the back of my neck as it arrived and raced past, just from the sound alone.
Just reading that raised my hair on the back of my neck 🥰
Similar experience for me in 2002 in Tampa but it was in black
the best ferraris are the ones you dont own but get to drive. none of the upkeep and maintenance .... all the fun
It's not fun without the struggle. You have to earn that fun.
X3MK0218 If you have old and rare enough Ferrari or any exotic they appreciate more in value yearly than the upkeep costs are.
X3MK0218 - Owning a Ferrari is better for the following reasons: You build up a bond with it. You can take it for a drive whenever you want to, permitting the conditions are right. You get to look at it in the garage. If you are wealthy enough to own a Ferrari, you can afford the maintenance.
When you own one, you can go into the garage and stare at it anytime.
You don't need to reserve it, and you have no limitations on what you can do with the car.
Whether full ownership is worth the maintenance hassle and costs, depends on what the person can afford and is willing to put up with.
That's not entirely true. Being able to buy an 80,000 euro used Ferrari is not the same as being able to afford the returning tens of thousands euros to maintain it over the years. Lots of 'dream cars' end up being sold again in bad condition at a much lower price because of this.

WHERE DO I FIND MORE THOUGHTS ON THIS CAR?!
Autotrader.com/oversteer
Imagine... Its the 90s, you drive to a girls house to pick her up for a night out, you are waiting outside, she comes out , walks to the car, opens the door and then... BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Does that alarm sound with the passenger side door too? Seems totally pointless - isn't the whole idea to prevent the driver from getting out and leaving the key in the ignition accidentally?
@@humanbeing2420 It doesn't beep at you with the passenger's side door. My dad has one, I've gotten in and out of it before with the engine running and it was fine.
Whoever detailed this car did a damn fine job.
Toyota really nailed it on this second generation MR2. Such a good looking car.
Kevin Kauffman LOL id take a mr2 over this anyday!
Kurdt Bogle no you wouldn't
The MR2 came out before the 355, so if anything Ferrari ripped off Toyota in this specific instance, lol.
The Fiero GT was before the MR2....

2 reasons why I wouldnt let this guy review my Koenissegg ....
1 . He wets the seat everytime he test drives a car, even the slight rumble of a honda will cause him to jizz all over the seat.
2. I dont have a koenigssegg.
Wow 😂
1. I thought you were kind of a dick.
2. I laughed.

@@stephendoley1829 u not scared of that shi exploding ? I know if i had this it would explode because I’d be racing people fr
Very nice video. I have had a 355 spider for 10 years. it is a wonderful car to look at and drive. It is a fun car for me and I have only put 5000 miles on it since I bought it and it now has 32000 on it. It is a 1999 and as for maintenance, I had the belt service done last year for the first time in the car's history. I always drove it carefully and never extreme and if you are not taking it to the track every weekend I think most 355 owners will tell you that the 3 year 5000 mile belt change is not necessary. If you drive it like a normal car and maybe once in a while drive fast on the open road 10 years or 10000 miles before belt change should be fine. This would give you an average cost of $1000 a year plus the occasional o2 sensor or other incidentals. I have been fortunate and have had no major issues since I owned the car except a radiator fan coming loose and scoring the radiator core. After much aggravation of removing the damaged radiator and taking it to the radiator shop, the radiator repair was $45 and I bought 2 new electric fans for the radiators and put them in myself for $75 each. if you are interested in one of these cars being able to do simple repairs like this radiator will save you a lot on the maintenance cost of the car.
My Audi A4 does the same thing with the door open. It also has a similar key to the Gallardo. I have a supercar.

absolutely
it looks like toyota mr2 lol
TheTwerker 69 G The Toyota MR2's looks were inspired by the Ferrari 348 which the replacement F355 was based on but a whole lot better in every way.
Absolutely, too bad ill never own one 😣😣😣
Did you forget about McLaren F1?

F40 is my favorite Ferrari
No one cares dude.

Those interiors 😍
Legend has it that Doug once had his mouth shut for a whole 15 seconds!
My older brother was once loaned an F355 (just like this one) by his boss. Being 17 years old and a huge car nut, I was the first person my brother came to with the car. We had an absolute blast in that Ferarri. Even better, when returning to drop me off home, a girl down the street who I had a HUGE crush on was walking by my house at the time. The car helped break the ice and I got a few months of good lovin with a girl way out of my league.
That day with that Ferrari will always be one of the best days of my life. For that reason this particular model will always have a special place for me.
Nice story
I bought one of these three years ago from the original owner with only 18K miles. He kept all the receipts and I totaled them up to be just under $130K. Belt services, valve guide replacements, new convertible top, new leather seat covers, etc. It still gave me an intermittent "Slow Down" light that was most likely due to an exhaust ECU that I never got around to. I had it for a couple of years and sold it before it left me homeless. It, by far, had the most glorious sound at 8500 RPM. I replaced it with an F430 which is way faster and has much lower maintenance (no cam belts). It just doesn't sound as good. I do miss that car though!
no you didn't
palmtrees bananapants his comment sounds legit though.
"Exhaust ECU"
Hey, I just tried to add some actual car ownership experience. Gorgeous car, and I met lots of really great people just because of it. No regrets, other than when I see another one cruising by. I don’t understand the "exhaust ECU" comment though, care to clarify?
He means wtf is an exhaust ecu? You mean a sensor?
Lloyd : wanna hear the most anoying sound in the world?
Opens 355 door.
Your reviews are great, they are the closest thing to owning or driving these cars most of us will ever get. All the little details about where the boot release is or the manual, so good and no one else does that.
*the 355 is gorgeous! One of my all time favorites!*
Couple of notes.
The engine has some maintenance and reliability issues probably because it was so extreme for its time. It made 380 bhp from 3.5 liters, while the Testarossa of a bit earlier time made the same hp from 5 liters. A major assist in achieving that was using 5 valves per cylinder to fuel it at the extremely high 8500 rpm limit in order to make the power it did. That also was a major cause of its mechanical/maintenance/reliability issues. Especially, the valve guide issue.
Doug finds pop-up headlights dated and odd and always comments on them. However, they allowed the front hoods to be very low in cars like this and that low front hood really contributes to the "go-kart" feel and sensation when driving cars with pop-up lights. It was a way fro manufacturers to meet the headlight-related height regulations while keeping the hood so low. Today, there are many more regulations regarding the front end that make it impossible to use pop-ups and have a low hood. All cars have to have relatively high, stubby front ends as a result, which eliminates that pure "go-kart" thing once and for all.
The F355 is a great driver's car. No doubt about it. It was the last of the old school baby Ferrari's that started with the Dino's and came before the much more modern 360 Modena's. It was the transition car for Montezemolo, who took over running Ferrari while the 355 was in gestation. It is a very desirable car, but I am not sure it's styling is much more than a great updating of the bland-looking 348's, which are terrible cars to drive.
You wrote all that for merely 10 upvotes?
The 348 was great man
Drive one and you will understand why
Senna had one of them
How many 348’s have you driven?
……
Pop up headlights don't make the hood lower, mid engine layouts make the hood lower! The Diablo & NSX still had the same hood slope after they got rid of the pop up lights, you're just talking out of your ass
Perfect! Beautiful! Gated shifter is magic!
The shape, it’s not the wedge shape of the 80s and not the less aggressive (and more stylish) round shape of the 2000s, it’s just perfect, it’s............ a Lotus Esprit

Doug, your vids are by far some the best auto explainers on youtube.
One of my most favorite Doug DeMuro episodes 👍🏻
If I had a dollar for every time he said "Quirk" in all his videos, I'd be able to buy this car..
They sell for less than a 5 series.
Dude, if you had that many dollars, you'd have enough to buy a continent.
My favorite Ferrari I drove when I was a Ferrari salesman in the early 90's was a 1966 330 GTC. 300hp with intake noise & exhaust note that was truly a symphony. I agree with you about horsepower. It's more enjoyable if you have to use skill to drive through corners to keep speed versus just point & shoot. The 328 was a very nice driver too.
Damn Doug! Every video Doug makes, takes all these obtainable classics and makes them sooo desirable I’m worried they’ll appreciate beyond the reach of us mere mortals
I just saw one today, and came home to rewatch this. The one I saw was black on black, absolutely beautiful.
It saddens me that for the briefest of moments, cars like this seemed within reach. Now that I'm finally reaching a level in my life that I could potentially afford one of these, they suddenly become desirable and jump in value. Likely to only go further up in value and further from my reach... :c
NsKrewtable Keep the faith! The 355 is my all time favorite car (Well maybe behind only the Mc F1 and LP400 Countach) and so I feel your pain in trying to aqquire one! You have to remember there was actually a good few years where they were "affordable", 355s lost around half their original value and they stayed at that level for around 5 years.
The current bull market is insane and it's always impossible to predict the future but history would suggest it wont last forever and it seems to be running out of puff in the last year.
A lot of the adverts you see are just total chancers trying to make a tidy profit on a car they've owned for a while. But how many are actually selling at those levels? Some ARE but I'm noticing a lot of cars at the moment that seem to stick around in the classifieds for a long time.
It's not a co-incidence 355s went up just as you got to that financial level in your life. I was chatting to a dealer recently and they pointed out how the younger generations don't really care about the older stuff, the cars that have appreciated are the ones that were on the walls of guys growing up in the 80s and 90s who have recently got wealthier.
The 355 seems to have topped out at the entrance point of 458s, hopefully 458 prices will keep the 355 from ever getting too insane. Other cars like the 570s and the Hurrican will hopefully help to keep prices down too.
Also going back to the market at the moment, it will surley come down again, it always has done in the past! A lot of people are buying cars now as investments and a lot of those will jump ship when the market plateaus out and they see there's better places to put their money
NsKrewtable i get what u’re sayin. I feel the same way too. But the gallardos are relatively cheap and also some of the 360 modenas. U will get there eventually. Dont worry :)
Rent one.
They were always very expensive to repair and maintain however. But being a high-performance car, and a Ferrari no less, the 355 is prone to market bubbles. Fueled by trends among the wealthy to own older sports cars of a certain pedigree. Much like has occurred with the Porsche 993 Turbo, and E30 BMW M3, which were once just old cars are now through the roof on market value, but they may not remain so forever... The 355 is a fine car, but it's not the F40 after all.
That's what happened to me with 80's 911's.
can you start showing the engines. just pop the hood for a brief moment
10:57 You didn't watch the whole video did you?
The Murloc Tamer not this one i wasn't able to but i'm talking about going forward. he doesn't always pop the bonnet
I know he doesn't normally, I was just pointing out that he did in this one. and who knows he will in future vids
Google image search. Almost always works. Also, wikipedia tells you which engines came with each car.
vanamburgben i know
Sometime I enjoy the gleeful satisfaction Doug gets from locking/unlocking the doors.
Looks great, until it explodes...
RIP Tyler Hoover's Ferrari
Yep. I saw that car in person multiple times before and after hoovie bought it and now I wont see it again
@@supercarsofwichita9485 That's a shame. I guess that's the kind of thing that you can't always see coming in that kind of car.
You might yet, Tavarish is going to rebuild it once he finishes 13 and a half other cars which may take him 16 years but hey thats a lot of YT videos..
Parker did it
It didn't have the recall done and his mechanic should've known that.
at 17
KIWINI Doug should review JR's cars... it would be a pretty cool "partnership" (I don't how you call it in English.. what I mean is when two TH-camrs do some videos togheter, and they obviously benefit by markentif themselves to each other's subscribers).
Stefano, it's called collaboration.

The f355 is my favorite Ferrari
J Green I like it too, but if I had a choice (I don't), I'd prefer an F40,
Ahaan! 😘
Same
355 for manual and 458 for paddle. (My favorite 2)
The reason why I bought an mr2.poor man's Ferrari
Actually the 87 MKIII Toyota Supra came with a "Sport" mode and "Normal" mode button on the cener console that formed or softened the suspension. Probably THE earliest sport modes in a car, @Doug DeMuro
Friend of mine has this model and let me drive it. I was surprised how easy it was to drive it and feel comfortable handling it fron the very start.
From a pure look point of view, the 308 range was the best for me, the interior with those metallic levers is beautiful, so much character cause not this banal plastic buttons, which came with the 328. And the exterior with this conic air intake in the doors...gosh. lastly i always found the motor cover so beautiful, stands out so much
Shots fired jr garage. Automatic
Love the overall shape ,and interior is beautiful simplicity😀
I got to drive one of these, and agree with everything here. Drove a 599 soon after and it was a joke compared to the 355 (even though being almost twice as fast). Don't forget about the solid cams, that has a lot to do with it being the best sounding motor I've ever heard.
Good video, I too always liked the 355 but for me I would go with the Spyder in Fly yellow. The Spyder to me looks better and with the roof down you get to hear the exhaust sound even better.
I just saw this car today. Had a really cool engine sound
When the top of the GTS is RED, it has exactly the same lines as the Berlinetta - and that`s the beauty. In reality that's great, you can feel and hear the engine so much better without top than in the berlinetta. There the sound is deeper an much filtered. In my garage the top of my 355 GTS is mostly UP - to use the beauty TOPLESS. And that you can never do with a berlinetta !!! You get the MAXIMUM FEELING of the 355 without top !!
This guy owns one lol
+Toni R
You said it all!
The GTS is quite better than the normal Berlinetta version!
I was wondering why the gts wasn’t better cuz of targa with same lines
Mod Grip
😂
It's manual removal process is annoying but I agree
These cars still give me butterflies to this day. The looks , the sounds, ugh it’s just perfect
I think these will rise in value in the next year
Most def
“It doesn’t have an off button. It just says STOP!!!!”

@@tommonaghan111 look at my comment towards the top!
@@tommonaghan111 oh never mind. It was another one of his videos that I told him that. I think it's the NSX video that I told him he looks like QT.

Aaaaaaand it's gone.
:D You made me lough so hard for no reason

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand it's sitting simply 😂😂
they also look quite good in yellow (like in the movie 'The Rock' with Nicolas Cage)
I love that car so much. My childhood poster car.
355's look better in Red...whereas the 550 looked better in Titanium Grigio...!!! 😁❤👍
Okay, My favorite Ferrari of all time in my opinion. Like he said, amazing lines, great interiour. For me the best looks :D
Not so. I'll keep my 328.
Eh, f40 is the best but I love the 458 speciale aswell...
In Goldeneye 007, Xenia Onatopp races Bond's Aston Martin....
I love the silhouette of this car. The profile, the roofline slope into the hood and the back windshield is so perfect and flowing despite being so 90s. One day. ONE DAY.
when are you going to replace your in car camera?... the buzzing has been going on for ages.
Since someone have mentioned the camera, I better chime in...!
Yes, the camera is quite old... And I think it'd be great if he replace it with a 360 Degree one...!
I find it rather weird that all I see is the driver all the time and just a quick few second glimpse of the road and the terrain... 360 would be GREAT...!
B Fuller the buzzing stops when Doug stops speaking
B Fuller that's just a wasp. And when the wasp has a son that's another one. It seems to travel around with Doug. And keeps having sons. All those little waspies living in his jumper.
Aren't gated shifters hard to shift fast?
I feel like I'd miss shifts trying to do it fast.
Agreed, this was the best looking out of all Ferraris you could see in the real world! I liked the F50 for its crazy front and rear wing but that is a rare sight and just aesthetically...this is the one!
It still looks amazing 25 years later...🙂🔝👌
Lol this got recommended to me after I watched the Hoovie's video when his 355 got a bit spicy!
My dream car when I was a teen!
I do love this op ed style where its like the classic journalism style. I can almost feel it written on the pages of a printed newspaper. Love it!
It was fun to actually see you giddy over a car. LOL enjoy...I am truly envious of your work here
I know this car from the F355 Challenge Video Game
SEEEEEEGAAAAAAAAA
the DC version?
ouuuuh a cliffhanger :D Nice going Doug! Can't wait for your next vid!! What's your favorite ferrari? Will you review it next? Knowing you, I got a feeling it's the legendary F40! XD
overlex laferrari or f50, he already made a video about the F40
Daniël Willems read the date that this comment was posted dumbass
Chicken Feed babe yea sorry, didn't notice that at the time of posting the comment. A bit dumb of me but you don't have to be that toxic...
Ive driven the 360 with gated shift. I know how you feel its the perfect and most precise way to change gears. Very satisfying visceral and mechanical feel. I dont know why every manual car doesnt have this.
It made a great video game on the Dreamcast too.
True story here: When I was about 12 my dad took me to Ferrari of Atlanta to drool. He wandered off with a salesman and they left me to daydream and enjoy the Ferraris. No one else was there and it was so quiet I had to gently close the doors of the cars to not feel like someone was going to go "SHHHHHH!!!". The 355, 456, and 550s were all in the showroom and I was drawn to the red 355. I finally figured out how to get inside the car but I had a problem. Once in and the door shut I had no idea how to get out of the car. So there I was trapped in a Ferrari at the age of 12 for about 10 minutes until I finally figured out the inside door handle.
Child proof they had made it (almost).
So, the main complaint here is that this 355 is too expensive to maintain long term... So it's like a gorgeous Italian woman; hit it and quit it. LOL.
Well, yes.... That was a great example
Yup lol
Temp you win
Timbuck2 It's NOT too expensive to maintain long term, if you've got the moola... and more people than ever before do. That wouldn't include me, or him, either, by his own words (yet), but it's certainly not impossible. For me, the question must be, is it worth it? One could own and run, and maintain, half a dozen pretty nice sports cars for what this one costs to buy and keep... Which is why I don't even THINK about Ferraris, much.
Content Cop on Gayson Genova - Maybe find a friend who owns one and have a few hot flings with it on the weekends when he is out of town?
I had one of these for a short time. I had the Spyder. I really enjoyed it, very fast and agile.
WHAT A PLEASURE TO SEE A SPORTS CAR WITH NO BELLS, WHISTLES, BANGS, POPS, BACKFIRES, SUPER POPS ETC ETC ETC. Just pure adrenaline / Pleasure / Fun / Elegance.
So what I got out of this: it would be a great car to rent but not own.
What a car, one of my favorites as as well.
Timeless ferrari how did i miss this video from doug , came from Grand tour !!

I love an S2000. I teach for Track Masters Racing (track day events in Nor Cal) and I've had several students with them. I drove one student's car around Laguna Seca three laps after spending most of the day instructing in the car. I wanted to show him a couple of things. It's a really great car.
I'd love doug to review that, I just want to hear his opinions.
Don't you have to be Filipino to own that?
dougs nerdy ass has never seen a vagina
One of the most beautiful cars ever. Always thought that. It’s actually somewhat affordable minus the hellacious maintenance costs.
Doug, I've driven a Mazda 626 from the late '80s that had a Sport Mode. I'm not sure how common Sport Mode was in the '80s and '90s, but there it is.
Nice video Doug I loved it
