Hi dudes, thought I'd poll to see views on this. Torn between the 2 and although they both have their merits both aesthetically and mechanically, all else aside which one do you think looks better?!

I'll have an Allegro Estate and pocket the change. Imagine how much this better this thread could be with the addition of some pictures and the reason why you're asking.   308 GTS  348 TS edit: I can't believe it took me seven minutes to compose this post (perhaps that's why the OP didn't bother with pictures - although I did stop to toast myself a hot cross bun while I was doing it). Now HoTWire has pretty much said the same thing as me using just a picture.  |

Neither. I know I'll be alone on this, but if I had to choose a Ferrari at that 'end' of the Prancing Horse food chain, it would almost certainly be the 308 GT4. Beautiful lines and so much more understated. Refreshingly styled compared to the other two IMHO  Poor OP by the way... |

Personally, I like both. The first 308 's had a fibreglass body up to '76 (?) , I think, then changed to steel. Some of the early steel ones suffered horrendously from rust. I stopped to look at an early 308 in a tiny garage in Brixham, years ago. I can still see the rust on it now.  |

The 348 isn't very pretty, but with a few small tweaks, Ferrari turned it into the 355, which is one of the nicest looking modern Ferraris ever.  If you're budget can stretch to an early 355, I've definitely take that over a 348 any day. Although I'm also in the 308 GT4>308 GTS or 348 camp |

If I had to have a Ferrari, I'd have a Lancia Thema 8.32 . |

Beautiful lines and so much more understated. Refreshingly styled compared to the other two IMHO Poor OP by the way... My line manager bought a 308 GT4 last year, I've been in it a few times. Fantastic car, really would recommend one. However, to me it doesn't look like a Ferrari. Being the only Bertone design Ferrari it looks more like a Lambo to me, but still an amazing car. Out of the two, I would always go 308. 348 is a bit too modern. Given the option though, 412 for me please Also, Mondials are pretty cheap at the moment and IMO look better than both the 308 and 348... |

/\ I was going to say, there's some Stratos is there somewhere.
Getting back to the original question... alot depends on what you're going to do with it, do you want a GT or something to go for a blast on a Sunday morning? Are you going to service and maintain it yourself?
Personally, if I had to chose between those particular models, I'd go for the 308GTS, but then if I was just looking for a budget Ferrari I'd be getting myself involved with a 400i series, but then I prefer the looks and don't mind cruising rather than frantic thrashes.

I'd be using it 3 times a week, but costs, practical issues aside I want pure clean views on which one you would have. I'm torn, 355 I wouldn't buy if I had the money, the latest of the 'classic' ferraris in my eyes there's no contest - 308 and 348. I love them both. and now I've seen 2 great examples but don't know which one to get. I just realised how sad that sounds when people are dying of hunger but I give in charity so what can you do.   |
