GTP Cool Wall: 1989-1995 Ferrari 348

I mean, no one has commented for 2 days, I thought it was over. It's not, I guess.

It's over when the time is up, people usually don't comment on cars that are pretty clean cut voting wise. If this were a more debated car then it'd have tons of conversation.

I don't understand the criticism of this car.

It handled terribly when pushed (or sometimes even when not), it wasn't built particularly well, and it didn't have the speed consummate with the horsepower numbers Ferrari claimed it had. It was the reason Honda was so effectively able to kick in the teeth of the establishment in 1990, and no less that Montezemolo himself said the thing was terrible and trashed it at length (and has seemingly done so multiple times since) when he took control of the company. You could kill yourself just as easily in an early SW20 since it was barely any slower, but it wouldn't have cost you nearly as much for the pleasure.

I'm pretty sure it isn't that, since the quote is from a review in 2015 that compares every V8 Ferrari from the 308 to the 458.

You're pretty sure it isn't what the review from 2015 said it probably was?

Umm... Did it say it was?

A good point, certainly. However, I think if you're buying a 25 year old Ferrari for reliability, build quality, and idiot-proof handling then you should probably be looking at a Porsche Cayman instead.
