Thanks Doug, it’s the perfect description of a modern classic. My childhood dream car was a Ferrari 308 and I waited too long and then prices increased. I found the 360 a perfect place to start my Ferrari ownership but I must admit it’s becoming a keeper.
360 is just perfect. I’m not form that era (Im from 2003) but this surely is the next car I’m aiming for! My current one is an Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce (1984) also beautiful but this one gets the crown!!!
Thanks for watching - I love the Spider Veloce, I had a 1988 Spider and they are great cars, I have now gone for the older 1967 Alfa Spider Duetto series 1
I see you have one of my other favourite cars in your garage - an MGA! I’m a big fan of MGs too; I love their character and simplicity. I am considering buying a 360 Modena next though so thank you for producing this.
Definitely, they are a smart buy right now and a lot of Ferrari for the $. It’s hard to believe the prices are so low. Even with inflated plandemic pricing, I never thought we would see the current pricing ever again.
It’s definitely a mystery to me as to why the 360 prices are so low, but it’s a great opportunity for anyone thinking of buying their first Ferrari. I remember when my poster dream car was a 308 and they were cheap, I missed out buying one then.
@@rcclassicgarage Agreed! The 308 GTS was my first love as well since it came out when I was around 5. I remember them bottoming in price around 27k here in the states back in the early nineties. I just discovered ur channel am looking forward to watching your past videos. Thanks!
The overriding reason that 360 values are so low is because, in most peoples eyes, it is the ugliest car Ferrari have made. Speaking for myself and several friends who`also own Ferraris, it is absolutely bottom of the pile, and not a car I/we would ever want to own. The F355 that preceded it was a fabulous car, so the 360 was really never going to be that popular following on from it. The designers just got it all wrong with the so-called 'smiley face' of the 360. This car also has the dreadful first version of the flappy paddle box, which hugely deflates it's values - at least have a proper manual box if you have to own a 360. But even then it isn't a dog-leg Ferrari box. In summary, they have always looked a soft Ferrari, and they have aged badly. There are far better looking and to drive Ferraris to own for not a lot more money.
Hell no! The 360 might not by quite as crisp looking from some angles (that rear 3/4 view is still to die for) as some other Ferrari's but is still a genuinely great looking car, certainly nowhere near the abominations that are a 400 GTI or 308 GT4. As stated in the helpful review, I'll take a 360 with its in-situ cam belt replacement over an engine out exercise on a 355 any day of the week.....especially the day I have to pay for it!. Throw that in the mix with your buddies and I think you'll find the 360 looks instantly more attractive.
I agree. I was 36 when I bought mine. I’m 39 now and it’s been nothing but a joy to own ❤
Great to hear, I missed buying my poster car, a Ferrari 308, when they were cheap at around £20k - I waited to long and regret it now
Awesome 😎👍
Perfect blend of classic & modern, agree this is not only a great place to start Ferrari ownership, but the sweet spot of the range

I don’t have the spending power to buy this but I am definitely going to visit you to go for a spin in this!!
I’ve been thinking of a manual one or a manual F430. Still amazing looking cars.
Thanks for watching, they are truly special, a gated manual is always preferred and pretty rare on a 430
Beautiful
Great video Rohan, absolutely love that 360!
Thanks Joel
Great video. Clear and well explained
Thanks for watching … I enjoy watching your channel

430 has timing chains, not belts. One less maintenance item. But the 360 is prettier!
Good point on the 430 timing chain, I like the 430 but completely agree the 360 is prettier
My opinion the mondial was the cheap man’s Ferrari. Now look at the prices of them
Funny how everyone think it’s ugly…That’s why it had a 3 year waiting list when it was first launched!😆😆😆😆

Very well thought out assessment, unfortunately all wrong 😊
