Ferrari Mailing List: Road tested '98 328iS 5 speed today

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Yuk.  Power was sufficient, car too heavy though, shift from 2nd to 3rd not 
loaded enough, ended up easily shifting into 5th numerous times. Arm rest 
interfered wth shifting action (the guy's arm was ON the armrest, otherwise I 
would have moved it), just waaay too luxurious for my version of a performance 
car.  I've also driven an E36 M3 and felt that it felt (to me) too large and 
luxurious as well.  Power? Yeah, but felt too "moosey".  I want something more 
visceral, yet dependable, relatively fast, and of course within the budget. And 
something that won't break the budget on service/parts costs.  Did I mention 
RWD or AWD and preferably non turbo?  Hmmm.
