Some may consider a middle-age spending spree a "crisis," giving this period a pejorative title, but when you're experiencing it, a midlife crisis can be liberating. Not that we're admitting we're at that stage just yet, but the Consumer Reports Cars Team has compiled the ways we could be tempted to indulge our automotive passions. Well, the biggest automotive regret of my life is not owning a growling Detroit muscle car (truly embarrassing because I'm from the Motor City), and the second is not owning a convertible. Cliff Weathers: The definition of a midlife crisis is a period of dramatic self-doubt that is felt by individuals in the middle years over missed opportunities during youth. Be sure to share your crisis cars and automotive aspirations in the comments below. Okay, its...

Q:
A: The 355 is a great car. You can get one for a 'decent' price to drive a Ferrari around. Make sure that the car has recently been serviced and make sure to sell before it needs it again. You can look forward to a $15k maintenance bill on this car about every 15k miles. It's fun to drive and draws lots of attention. One of the most fun cars I've driven. But, I'd sure hate to service it. It's an expensive ordeal. (answered by Aaron P on May 26, 2007)
A: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. (answered by Robert W on May 26, 2007)Q:
A: Oil changes every 3,000 miles. Use only 5w-40 Synthetic oil, preferably Shell. Should run you $200 or so.
Do a "major service" every 5 years OR 30,000 miles, the timing belts don't last longer than that. The car will get a valve adjustment, water pump if needed, sparkplugs, etc etc. Be sure the shop you take it to knows how to degree in the cams...the factory timing marks can be incorrect on those engines. Major services run $5000-$8000 on that car.
The exhaust manifolds burning through are a known problem on EVERY 355. You'll want to take it for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to ensure the car is running well, bad running can be a sign the manifolds need replacement (which is an engine-out ordeal). Most owners do the manifolds during a major service just because.
I'd get a manual car, not the F1, if you don't want to be taking your car to the dealer all the time. The F1 needs Ferrari's special scantool to do any adjustments, which usually only dealers have.
I'd actually get a 99 or newer, the fuel injection system is better. But the 95-98 cars are still an excellent option.
To answer the question, they are a very comfortable and intuitive car to drive, a good daily driver if you don't mind the required maintenance. You do need to "thrash" them once in a while, they live for being driven hard, so be sure you take it for extended periods above 80 mph...in a safe environment of course. Cough. They are docile for street driving though.
