Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Info for 308/328

[rick Baumgartner (rickwr250]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a 328 and wondering if there are any negatives or common 
problems with that model to look out for? Also I'm 6'1" with long legs and hear 
the leg room is brutal in these cars. Any tall guys out there with a 328 that 
can comment.

Appreciate your help and time.

cheers!

 

Rick
