It gives the tail lights a timelessly oldschool look, unlike naked lights which from that era look just dated and ugly now. The McLaren F1 suffers from this a bit
In my opinion the 348 is one of the prettiest and most under appreciated Ferrari of its time, I prefer the 80s styling over the 355 and other later V8 Ferrari. Not that I care but of course, the 355 is superior in performance and handling, which is a pretty car as well compared to later Ferraris. But the 348 has these sharper and cleaner lines that truly define an era of Italian design. Also, the black sills on the early cars are reminiscent of the 70s/80s Ferraris. I also think the interior has a very pretty and minimalistic look; just look at those beautiful orange gauges and that gear shifter. Many owners decided to replace the original rims with aftermarket or 355/360 rims, but I personally think they are one of the prettiest details of the 348. Also, they do not look anything like those on the Cherokee. Finally, I don't understand Doug complaining about the rear grille covering the lights, it is just another beautiful example of 80s Ferrari styling and I prefer it over the 348 Speciale design.
For me this car came too late. It has all the characteristics of a mid 80s car. The exterior maybe would be too much futuristic for the 80s but its sooooo beautiful In the 90s, the people started to be more focused on quality and details and this car wasn't the best in those 2 things The cars began to be easier to drive and the 348 isn't the easiest to push to the limit If it was launched earlier it would become a great success Apologize me if i've made some mistakes lol :(
Demise, Devised I agree, to be honest I’m one of those people that actually don’t like the testarossa at all. It’s just tacky and overhyped like the Toyota Supra is. It looks like someone stomped on a 348. I understand that some people might love it for its nostalgic status but aside from that, like the Lamborghini countach, it’s not that great of a car. I might a little biased against this car but it feels so overrated and overhyped that I can’t help but don’t like it.
Demise, Devised funny you say that, about two months ago I drove a Ferrari 458 and a cayman gts. I was so hyped about the Ferrari, every told me that it was the best car they ever driven, I remembered how this car was praised in top gear, then I drove it.. I can’t tell you how disappointed I was. It felt like the car was way too easy to drive, nowhere near as raw and exciting as I thought it would be. That being said it’s still an incredible car, it’s fast, the steering is incredible responsive but it doesn’t feel that much connected to the road, it was way too comfortable in my opinion. Then I drove the Porsche, I can’t emphasize how much better this car felt. Still almost everybody I know who drove the Ferrari would swear about it. I don’t try to say that it’s a bad car, nor that the testarossa is, but the difference of attention and love some cars can receive over others really staggers me.
348 is a pretty car. When he showed all the new ferarri full of fibre glass, somehow this now has more appeal to me. Maybe I'm getting old, but as a kid in the 90s I wanted this car.
Well, I’ll say this. I’ve owned a beautiful condition Yellow 92 TB for 18 years now. I STILL get excited to take it out. The car is freekin awesome, and has given me so little trouble it’s ridiculous. Ya, the engine out sucks but I did it every 9 years. NO PROBLEMS, runs fantastic. I don’t even want to sell it, I like it that much.
It's from the car. Old Ferraris have a black coating on interior trim pieces that over time turns into this tar-like substance. It gets everywhere. I was working on a 1995 348 last week. had to deal with it. Also it's ancient engine management systems.
Despite its low ranking among enthusiasts I've always found the 348 to be one of the most attractive cars of the 90s. It was a radical departure from the design of the 328. Where the 328 was curvy, sporty and agile looking the 348's lines were sharp, clean and tight. I hesitate to call it a baby Testarossa because it's so much more beautiful. The TR with its long wheelbase, stubby rear and too much nose (crumple-zone solution?) doesn't come close to the perfectly proportioned 348. It's like they threw out the worst design elements of the big, awkward looking TR, kept the best and incorporated them into a gorgeous, compact body. Aesthetically, everything works, even the "grill" and especially the rims which were so perfectly matched it's as if the car was designed around them. Thanks, Doug. Great review.
I think they should've made the Testarossa's tail longer to sort out the proportions, not make the entire car smaller! The side profile (particularly the profile of the doors) was done better on the Testarossa than the 348 though but my favourite distinct feature on the 348 was the one Doug criticized: the slatted rear lights cover.

Most modern sports cars and SUV run very large displacement turbocharged or supercharged engine that run at more than twice atmospheric pressure..... Cayenne or land rover or Audi are pressurized to operate as de facto 10-12 liter displacement engine..... Car from this generation had to suck their air and fuel... Respect your elder!!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀
My uncle owned a 1992 Ferrari 512 TR, which I drove a few times. The one thing that I absolutely fell in love with was the gated manual shifter. I described it to my friends as "cocking a shotgun" because of the satisfying clicking feeling and sound as you changed gears. Good to know they made a "baby" 512 TR. I will be looking in the classified section for one of these to go for sale in my area. Thank you, Doug, and keep up the good work!
Yeah, that's just what we need. Doug fucking up the paint on a Packard with his watch, and flipping every switch a million times in an attempt to be funny.
@@HollywoodF1nah thx im good "The Ferrari 348, in tb and ts forms, made its debut at the 1989 Frankfurt Auto Show. “To many, it was Best in Show,” said Road & Track. “Free of Testarossa excess -- in width, overhang, styling -- this 3.4-liter V-8 is compact, quicker on the track ... ideal.” But the Ferrari 348 proved not so ideal in the real world. Road-testers couldn’t quite match Ferrari’s claimed 5.6 seconds 0-60 mph and 171-mph top speed. Worse, they found the car a challenge to drive near or at the limit. Other shortcomings included a harsh ride, a wandering front end at high speed, and a stiff gearbox"
@@NSixtyFour You've equated 0-60 to how fast a car is. Like whoever can get to the bottom of the onramp the fastest is the champion. That's not driving to me. Any grandma can mash the accelerator. A fast car, to me, is the whole package. Quick steering, quick braking, a tight chassis and a responsive engine. A track is the best measure of that to me, Top Gear-style. Which one of these cars is the fastest to you? ua-cam.com/video/5mjuTVsRllc/v-deo.html

The strakes, including the ones over the lights, is what MAKES it AWESOME! The Testarossa also had them over the lights, and everyone LOVES them on that. The real issue with the 348 is it was slated by the press as being a "Baby Testarossa" in a bad way. Now, after all these years, the baby brother has grown up.
I've heard this old legend where if you turn off the lights, look in the mirror and say "Doug DeMuro" 3 times, he comes to you in the night and gives your car a Doug score, and then he stabs ya!!!
Great video. I've watched enough of your videos to be able to tell when you're having fun and when you are driving this car you had a grin from ear to ear like a 12-year-old boy that just found his first playboy! I'm actually in the market for one right now and there is one in my little town that I live in that is for sale but 85000 American is too much so as nice as it is I just need to keep looking. They're getting difficult to find and let you plan a long trip across the country. The fact that there is one in my little town that I live in is very appealing because it's just up the street but I still cannot see myself paying $85000 for it especially with 59000 miles. However the previous owner has had it for 25 years and has all the maintenance records and he just did the belt service. And it's the red with cream and terrier like your example which is my favorite. I'll keep working on him and see if you can get it down to the 60 or 65 mark. Thank you for your video and it was fun seeing you have fun in this little throw back to the 80s/ 90s. I remember being in high school in the 80s looking at magazines, Yes we had magazines at that time and not smart phones, And just drooling over this car. I still think it looks beautiful and I love the strakes on the side. It just screams classic Ferrari and it's hard to mistake it for anything else. I love everything about it especially the raw driving experience that you can't find any more in new cars. Thanks again!
The Ferrari 348 TB (the coupe) was my first diecast car, a blue one from Bburago. It was destroyed (burned) almost 15 years ago. I didn't remembered its model (I wasn't the true petrolhead I'm trying to be today), I only knew that was a Ferrari. A month ago, I was looking for an Aston Martin V12 Vantage (my favorite one in the last 4 years) diecast and remembered the Ferrari, not the exact model but the strange blue Ferrari I've had sometime. Until you post this video. 1991 Ferrari 348 TB. I literally cry when I get the model and looked for it on Internet. So great, thanks!
Most guys from the main line wear an undershirt with a t shirt. It's a prep school / Ambercrombe thing. My inner city Italian friends make fun of me for it.
@@sbklvr I don't see why. I live in humid Houston and fare just fine. It helps absorb the sweat and serves as a backup in case your main shirt gets dirty or ruined somehow.
Daniel Kemnitz these answers are strange to a non car guy who happens to like to watch Doug-videos sometimes. you folks leave a restroom dirty?? or what did you mean by cleaning?
I've always been a fan of the 348... It might be because I'm an 80's kid, but I've always liked how it looks. I personally think it's a better looking car than a Testarossa... the Testarossa always seemed to big and chunky/blocky to me, and the 348 has that same kinda look, only with less chunkiness. Plus, throw an aftermarket exhaust on one, and it makes a phenomenal noise.
You stopped to talk about the wheels but didn't mention one of the strangest "quirks" that the wheels are directional (left/right) and staggered meaning there are 4 different part numbers for the wheels. OH! And tell the owner the front wheels are on the wrong sides!!
Click the link below in the description to see my column on oversteer where I've compiled a list of the best videos on UA-cam that teach you how to dougie!
I could write a book about what is wrong with this car, just the main problems as I remember them. The throttle cable will continually get stuck outside the ferrule as the engine moves and pulls it out, this was so bad that during the first 500 miles I had to stop 10 times more to rectify this as I did to fill up with petrol. The engine would be left running at about 1500 RPM rather than tickover. Ferrari fitted about 5 new throttle cables but couldn't cure it until I told them how easy it was, fit a piece of heat shrink over it to ensure it always remained in place. They said they couldn't make any modifications that were not factory approved, so I did it myself and cured it. Any other manufacturer would have dealt with this as a safety recall issue. The rear end always wanted to go faster than the front, making the car unstable and liable to spin in the wet. Black sills and valance - ugly, I got mine painted body colour and improved the look no end. Massive wide sills, unable to get in if someone was to park next to you as the door had to be opened too wide. Steel plates bonded to the top of the sills under the doors, these were kept on with tiny self tapping screws as well as glue. No primer, satin black straight onto steel, when you wash the car the water gets trapped under the plates and rusts them away, when the rust reaches the top, the black paint peels off. Impossible to remove in one piece for remedial painting due to being glued. You need a lot of strength and a heat gun to get them off, and then they are mangled. I had a pair made of aluminium for mine. Gearbox - NO first gear until the car was warmed up. TS roof noisey and squeaks all the time when its in, you can't get in and drive the car when stored in place behind the front seats. The finish on the roof needs special treatment to keep it looking nice, otherwise it goes patchy and matt. The rubbers need silicone grease all the time to stop the squeaking noise. A very heavy car that squashed my axle stands when I tried to change a wheel. Original models had the battery in the engine compartment, the heat from the exhaust evaporated all the fluid away, leaving the battery flat. It was modified to go in the front bumper, but to get at it you had to raise the car and get the driver's side front wheel off! The alternator would fail because it was right by the exhaust and inside the panel under the engine. Later models were modified, mine had a kit supplied with new alternator, several castings, new under engine panel with ducted ventilation for the new fan assembly fitted to the new alternator. New rear wiring loom supplied but the alternator connector was too big to fit through the aperture between the engine compartment and the car so all the wires had to be removed with a special tool, the old loom cut and taped to the new loom, then slowly fed through with the alternator plug being reassembled afterwards. All engine connections had to be removed and the new look used. Almost impossible to do, I still have the special long pliers I bought to do this difficult job using a mirror! Ended up with 1 spare wire with a green rubber ending, it turned out to be the clutch on the air-con compressor, again something that is almost up against the body and well hidden from view. 3 days solid work, but it started and ran first time. (I later found out that as a customer, I shouldn't have been given this kit as it was supposed to have been fitted by the dealer!) That's enough for now, but I think this was the last car without stability control and probably the last made of steel. NOT their finest hour, and when you consider it handled as if it's in the wet when it's dry, as if it's on ice when it's wet, and don't even think about it in snow and ice. A 360 is not much different in price and has an alloy body, proper road holding and stability control, if you want to walk away from every trip, pay the extra as a 348 is really trying to kill you every chance it gets.

I think it's one of the best looking Ferraris. Great lines and proportions, especially for it's era. It's the perfect example of "less is more" philosophy. It is the iconic quintessential sports car design.
This was an amazing car, I actually chose this instead of the 360 back in 1999. It goes way over 171mph, I actually went 175mph and it wanted to keep going faster but I notice the toll was coming up so I slowed down.
Less is more. The entirely analog 348 is the biggest bang for the buck. The 355 has brass valve issues. the 355s electronic adjustable suspension goes out. the 355 spider's roof is one piece and costs $60k to replace. its now or never for the 348 - the shrewdest sports car purchase in the entire Ferrari market.
I love these cars! Love the wedge shape! I have a 1995 Spider and the belt service is only $10,000 if you take it to the dealer. I'm having mine done the end of this year by an independent shop and I was quoted $5995. My favorite part of this car is that it doesn't have a lot of tech stuff....and that's good because it has less stuff to break. And that stuff ALWAYS breaks.
Doug did a video about his own Ferrari needing a minor repair. He took it to the dealer so no one freaks out because the car was serviced at "Joe's garage". Apparently this greatly affects resale value.
The Mondial is RARE! When was the last time you saw one? I used to do contract photography for a Ferrari dealer and I can't remember seeing one in decades.
I agree with everything you are saying Doug, I finally got my 348 after 6 months of waiting for my brother to let it go. The handling and feel of the steering is sooooo much fun. The other wonderful thing is 4th gear. This is where the real power comes into the game .. When you are doing 90 to 100 MPH in 4th there is a lot of torque .. I can jump almost a city block ahead of other cars with ease. This is my second ferrari. I had a Daytona in the 70's (12 cylinder 6X's 2 barrel carborators) .. I don't remember the Daytona feeling like the 348 which is a life-sized Go Cart !!!

The orange gauge faces and font are part of the nice thing with these years though! The 80's were wild times really, and a lot of fun. .Anyone familiar with late 70's through 90's sports cars has probably come across lowering parking brake levers, too. This looks like a pretty nice car, and having driven a few Ferrari's when working on them, I have gained an appreciation of their quirks. I'd love to be able to afford a 348, that is if I fit in it well! Hell, I'd be happy with a late 70's Dino 2+2!
Ah the 348 TS... my best friend's mom had the exact same one and she drove me around in it a few times when I was a teen. You couldn't stop at a red light without having one of these idiots asking how much the car was worth. His mom had as well one of these convertible 500sl AMG which apparently was more expensive.. but it didn't get as much love as the 348. Ah, the early 90s!
Hey, I'll happily take a 348 or a 355. I love both of those, they were the pinnacle of classic Ferrari design in my opinion. Working on them isn't terribly hard either, you just need to have a bit of time and patience.
Doug still doesn't know WTF a high speed horn is. He always hits those horns and mocks them, but they were high speed European horns. When you are doing 165 mph, it is much easier to hear.
LT Guile the cheese-slicer side intakes are what made the 348 for me. It was like a mini Testarossa, arguably one of the most iconic supercar of 1980 after the Countach ruled the 70s.
Toni, I admit the tail lights and side intakes are what set it apart from other Ferraris. I have seen ads in the back of Car & Driver magazine where they sold aftermarket parts to expose the rear tail lights. The aftermarket designs were actually handsome and made of metal. Wished I could see one with the redesigned covers.
Ferrari is famous for round tail lights. But if it's a square one, Ferrari will put the the black strips on it. Just to differentiate between round lights and the square ones
Nythil Doug seriously made me appreciate the Aztec a bit more. I thought it was just a downright terrible vehicle. At least now I think it's got some interesting "quirks and features"
My favourite Ferrari, the perfect Ferrari shape. Hoovies garage, you know him well, that black one is now 100,000 miles + and doing nicely. Love this car
Honestly because of the popularity of your account, this video could actually cause an increase in price of this car, be careful with your power Doug 😂
0-60 in 5.6 secs is a 4 out of 10? (Automobile claimed 5.4sec) Even by modern standards that's quicker than 90% of the cars on the road, including that GTI that you passed. The Doug score is a silly, arbitrary waste of time.
If you think about it, you can buy a corvette for less than half the price, still get a 0-60 under 4 seconds, and have a more reliable car. For the price that this car is, I would much rather pay a little more and get a 360, pretty fast and looks/sounds amazing.
DavidoggL In the automotive service world, whenever you refer to the side of a car or a component placement in a car, you always refer to it as if you're sitting down from the drivers seat of the car. So rather than saying something like, the driver side headlight. You would say, the left headlight. See the problem here is that you don't know if the car is LHD or RHD. If the car were RHD but you were assuming it's LHD because you're in North America, then you would be talking about the wrong headlight. Same thing goes for when a car goes in to get its tires rotated. But if you're sitting in the driver seat and your perspective of the car is from that point, it doesn't matter if the car is LHD or RHD. The Left headlight is always the Front Left. The exact same thing applies if you are looking at a car in a video. You can't reliably relay the correct information about which side you're talking about because, are you looking at the car from the front of the car or the rear of the car? Are you pointed forwards or are you pointed backwards? So it is universally accepted that components of the car are always referred to as if you're sitting down in the drivers seat since you are always looking forward in the car.
Yeah, but you have to use genuine Ferrari cocaine, supplied by an authorized dealer and snort it off a real OEM Ferrari mirror otherwise the resale value of the car goes into the toilet.
Driven one of these and it was a great experience. This and the Testarossa are easily some of the best Ferraris ever made when it comes to just driving for fun and not outright performance.
I saw a feature on the F40 some time ago which, if I can remember correctly, needed new suspension units every couple of years costing about £4,000 per corner. I tell you, I nearly spurted my absinthe...
U r the best car reviewer on UA-cam . nobody does it like u do . u only r the one on UA-cam who explains everything there is in a car with all information history , functions,buttons etc . What u do in real senses is called car reviewing.
The 348 is by far my most favorite Ferrari of all time. It came out just a few months after my birth, but it's so modern looking compared to any other car that came out in the late 80s. I always felt that, compared to other Ferrari models of that period, the design was facing more towards the future instead of just resembling what was cool back then. Lamborghini did a similar approach with the Diablo, but I think the 348 still wins the competition!
i love the strakes over the taillights, it's one of my fav Ferrari design cues from the 80s
It gives the tail lights a timelessly oldschool look, unlike naked lights which from that era look just dated and ugly now. The McLaren F1 suffers from this a bit
@@visionist7 yes, everything still looks great on an f1 other than the lights. Just dates it so obviously.
Same here. I love the 348... It's small and neat and if I could have a fancy car, it'd be this one :)
52/100 though.
Why such hate for the side strakes? I like them.
Because they look like stretch marks...... ;)
@@IDoubtThat1968I like them too but man, I can't un-see that now lol

The cars began to be easier to drive and the 348 isn't the easiest to push to the limit
If it was launched earlier it would become a great success

Waiting for Doug to review a Lamborghini Countach
coming soon
He can review my Poontach. It has VTEC
I've read so many "Doug the type of guy to..." comments that I read that as "Doug the type of guy to review a Lamborghini Countach". These comments are getting ridiculous lmao
Hopefully
It is coming soon, he showed a picture of it on his instagram saying he shot a video with it!
I watch your videos everyday at work and a lot of times walking on the treadmill at the gym,, I think you're a high-spirited happy guy thats figured out a way to make a living and have fun at the same time there's nothing wrong with that,, you explain things well,, when I have a bad day you can make me laugh I appreciate that man,, thanks
Most modern sports cars and SUV run very large displacement turbocharged or supercharged engine that run at more than twice atmospheric pressure..... Cayenne or land rover or Audi are pressurized to operate as de facto 10-12 liter displacement engine..... Car from this generation had to suck their air and fuel... Respect your elder!!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀
i feel the same way
Wholesome
Exactly the same for me
My uncle owned a 1992 Ferrari 512 TR, which I drove a few times. The one thing that I absolutely fell in love with was the gated manual shifter. I described it to my friends as "cocking a shotgun" because of the satisfying clicking feeling and sound as you changed gears. Good to know they made a "baby" 512 TR. I will be looking in the classified section for one of these to go for sale in my area. Thank you, Doug, and keep up the good work!
Nicolas Hernandez That’s one of my all time favourite Ferraris!
Doug, review a _really_ old car. Like a Packard, model t, etc.
*OR* review an RV. Would be pretty funny on the dougscore.
Wheelspin TV
Yes! I second a review for an RV lol
Would be hilarious
The RV would be great. He should test out the quirks and features of making meth in it.
Hahaha yes
Yeah, that's just what we need. Doug fucking up the paint on a Packard with his watch, and flipping every switch a million times in an attempt to be funny.
heavy steering, heavy clutch, gated manual, perfect!!! I'd happily buy any model from the 308 to the 360.
Anyone else always come here for the quirks and features?

"The Ferrari 348, in tb and ts forms, made its debut at the 1989 Frankfurt Auto Show. “To many, it was Best in Show,” said Road & Track. “Free of Testarossa excess -- in width, overhang, styling -- this 3.4-liter V-8 is compact, quicker on the track ... ideal.”
But the Ferrari 348 proved not so ideal in the real world. Road-testers couldn’t quite match Ferrari’s claimed 5.6 seconds 0-60 mph and 171-mph top speed. Worse, they found the car a challenge to drive near or at the limit. Other shortcomings included a harsh ride, a wandering front end at high speed, and a stiff gearbox"
@@NSixtyFour You've equated 0-60 to how fast a car is. Like whoever can get to the bottom of the onramp the fastest is the champion. That's not driving to me. Any grandma can mash the accelerator. A fast car, to me, is the whole package. Quick steering, quick braking, a tight chassis and a responsive engine. A track is the best measure of that to me, Top Gear-style.
Which one of these cars is the fastest to you? ua-cam.com/video/5mjuTVsRllc/v-deo.html

badboy 25 they've both said that in one of their videos
The strakes, including the ones over the lights, is what MAKES it AWESOME! The Testarossa also had them over the lights, and everyone LOVES them on that. The real issue with the 348 is it was slated by the press as being a "Baby Testarossa" in a bad way. Now, after all these years, the baby brother has grown up.
I've heard this old legend where if you turn off the lights, look in the mirror and say "Doug DeMuro" 3 times, he comes to you in the night and gives your car a Doug score, and then he stabs ya!!!

This and the 355 were beautiful designs
Very i like both
Also the 550 and 575. Those 90s Ferrari’s were so choice
It's what you call a sleek design, something very hard to see today.
Absolutely!
I prefer this one, the 355 looks like a microwaved 348
Great video. I've watched enough of your videos to be able to tell when you're having fun and when you are driving this car you had a grin from ear to ear like a 12-year-old boy that just found his first playboy! I'm actually in the market for one right now and there is one in my little town that I live in that is for sale but 85000 American is too much so as nice as it is I just need to keep looking. They're getting difficult to find and let you plan a long trip across the country. The fact that there is one in my little town that I live in is very appealing because it's just up the street but I still cannot see myself paying $85000 for it especially with 59000 miles. However the previous owner has had it for 25 years and has all the maintenance records and he just did the belt service. And it's the red with cream and terrier like your example which is my favorite. I'll keep working on him and see if you can get it down to the 60 or 65 mark. Thank you for your video and it was fun seeing you have fun in this little throw back to the 80s/ 90s. I remember being in high school in the 80s looking at magazines, Yes we had magazines at that time and not smart phones, And just drooling over this car. I still think it looks beautiful and I love the strakes on the side. It just screams classic Ferrari and it's hard to mistake it for anything else. I love everything about it especially the raw driving experience that you can't find any more in new cars. Thanks again!
The Ferrari 348 TB (the coupe) was my first diecast car, a blue one from Bburago. It was destroyed (burned) almost 15 years ago. I didn't remembered its model (I wasn't the true petrolhead I'm trying to be today), I only knew that was a Ferrari.
A month ago, I was looking for an Aston Martin V12 Vantage (my favorite one in the last 4 years) diecast and remembered the Ferrari, not the exact model but the strange blue Ferrari I've had sometime.
Until you post this video. 1991 Ferrari 348 TB. I literally cry when I get the model and looked for it on Internet. So great, thanks!

Daniel Kemnitz these answers are strange to a non car guy who happens to like to watch Doug-videos sometimes. you folks leave a restroom dirty?? or what did you mean by cleaning?
I've always been a fan of the 348... It might be because I'm an 80's kid, but I've always liked how it looks. I personally think it's a better looking car than a Testarossa... the Testarossa always seemed to big and chunky/blocky to me, and the 348 has that same kinda look, only with less chunkiness. Plus, throw an aftermarket exhaust on one, and it makes a phenomenal noise.
He is... by 7 years. Thanks for reminding me... jerk...j/k Lol
Doug the type to stub his toe and shout darn it.
You stopped to talk about the wheels but didn't mention one of the strangest "quirks" that the wheels are directional (left/right) and staggered meaning there are 4 different part numbers for the wheels.
OH! And tell the owner the front wheels are on the wrong sides!!
Todd Simone true... true...

Click the link below in the description to see my column on oversteer where I've compiled a list of the best videos on UA-cam that teach you how to dougie!
I could write a book about what is wrong with this car, just the main problems as I remember them. The throttle cable will continually get stuck outside the ferrule as the engine moves and pulls it out, this was so bad that during the first 500 miles I had to stop 10 times more to rectify this as I did to fill up with petrol. The engine would be left running at about 1500 RPM rather than tickover. Ferrari fitted about 5 new throttle cables but couldn't cure it until I told them how easy it was, fit a piece of heat shrink over it to ensure it always remained in place. They said they couldn't make any modifications that were not factory approved, so I did it myself and cured it. Any other manufacturer would have dealt with this as a safety recall issue.
The rear end always wanted to go faster than the front, making the car unstable and liable to spin in the wet.
Black sills and valance - ugly, I got mine painted body colour and improved the look no end.
Massive wide sills, unable to get in if someone was to park next to you as the door had to be opened too wide.
Steel plates bonded to the top of the sills under the doors, these were kept on with tiny self tapping screws as well as glue. No primer, satin black straight onto steel, when you wash the car the water gets trapped under the plates and rusts them away, when the rust reaches the top, the black paint peels off. Impossible to remove in one piece for remedial painting due to being glued. You need a lot of strength and a heat gun to get them off, and then they are mangled. I had a pair made of aluminium for mine.
Gearbox - NO first gear until the car was warmed up.
TS roof noisey and squeaks all the time when its in, you can't get in and drive the car when stored in place behind the front seats. The finish on the roof needs special treatment to keep it looking nice, otherwise it goes patchy and matt. The rubbers need silicone grease all the time to stop the squeaking noise.
A very heavy car that squashed my axle stands when I tried to change a wheel.
Original models had the battery in the engine compartment, the heat from the exhaust evaporated all the fluid away, leaving the battery flat. It was modified to go in the front bumper, but to get at it you had to raise the car and get the driver's side front wheel off!
The alternator would fail because it was right by the exhaust and inside the panel under the engine. Later models were modified, mine had a kit supplied with new alternator, several castings, new under engine panel with ducted ventilation for the new fan assembly fitted to the new alternator. New rear wiring loom supplied but the alternator connector was too big to fit through the aperture between the engine compartment and the car so all the wires had to be removed with a special tool, the old loom cut and taped to the new loom, then slowly fed through with the alternator plug being reassembled afterwards. All engine connections had to be removed and the new look used. Almost impossible to do, I still have the special long pliers I bought to do this difficult job using a mirror! Ended up with 1 spare wire with a green rubber ending, it turned out to be the clutch on the air-con compressor, again something that is almost up against the body and well hidden from view. 3 days solid work, but it started and ran first time. (I later found out that as a customer, I shouldn't have been given this kit as it was supposed to have been fitted by the dealer!)
That's enough for now, but I think this was the last car without stability control and probably the last made of steel. NOT their finest hour, and when you consider it handled as if it's in the wet when it's dry, as if it's on ice when it's wet, and don't even think about it in snow and ice.
A 360 is not much different in price and has an alloy body, proper road holding and stability control, if you want to walk away from every trip, pay the extra as a 348 is really trying to kill you every chance it gets.

Love the vids Doug but those Jeep wheels are absolutely nothing like the 348 wheels!
Less is more. The entirely analog 348 is the biggest bang for the buck. The 355 has brass valve issues. the 355s electronic adjustable suspension goes out. the 355 spider's roof is one piece and costs $60k to replace. its now or never for the 348 - the shrewdest sports car purchase in the entire Ferrari market.
I love these cars! Love the wedge shape! I have a 1995 Spider and the belt service is only $10,000 if you take it to the dealer. I'm having mine done the end of this year by an independent shop and I was quoted $5995.
My favorite part of this car is that it doesn't have a lot of tech stuff....and that's good because it has less stuff to break. And that stuff ALWAYS breaks.
Jeffrey B Cool, someone who can actually purchase the cars Doug talks about
Gtcracker Lol. I saved for years and years! And my other car is 16 years old!
The $4K you save on servicing, you'll lose at the other end when you sell.
Jeffrey B " Only 10 thousand" Jk lol don't kill me.
Doug did a video about his own Ferrari needing a minor repair. He took it to the dealer so no one freaks out because the car was serviced at "Joe's garage". Apparently this greatly affects resale value.
I think the Mondial is the black sheep - not the 348.
The Mondial is RARE! When was the last time you saw one? I used to do contract photography for a Ferrari dealer and I can't remember seeing one in decades.
Steven Farrington few years ago local dealer had one for $13k, granted it had about 50k miles
Steven Farrington yesterday in Munich.
I havent seen a 348 in the flesh for ages either.. but on autotrader etc I always see a steady stream of mondials..
Look up the 400 that's the black sheep
Is the only Doug review where he says "features and quirks" ??!!
"I will wash them"
?
😂😂😂
The bloody truth is that Ferrari customers are not real drivers anymore.
They all moved to Porsche Cayman's... even the 911 has lost its "real driver" fanbase and moved into the "status symbol" class.
I agree with everything you are saying Doug, I finally got my 348 after 6 months of waiting for my brother to let it go. The handling and feel of the steering is sooooo much fun. The other wonderful thing is 4th gear. This is where the real power comes into the game .. When you are doing 90 to 100 MPH in 4th there is a lot of torque .. I can jump almost a city block ahead of other cars with ease. This is my second ferrari. I had a Daytona in the 70's (12 cylinder 6X's 2 barrel carborators) .. I don't remember the Daytona feeling like the 348 which is a life-sized Go Cart !!!

The orange gauge faces and font are part of the nice thing with these years though! The 80's were wild times really, and a lot of fun. .Anyone familiar with late 70's through 90's sports cars has probably come across lowering parking brake levers, too. This looks like a pretty nice car, and having driven a few Ferrari's when working on them, I have gained an appreciation of their quirks. I'd love to be able to afford a 348, that is if I fit in it well! Hell, I'd be happy with a late 70's Dino 2+2!
Ah the 348 TS... my best friend's mom had the exact same one and she drove me around in it a few times when I was a teen. You couldn't stop at a red light without having one of these idiots asking how much the car was worth. His mom had as well one of these convertible 500sl AMG which apparently was more expensive.. but it didn't get as much love as the 348. Ah, the early 90s!
A woman driving a 348? She must be a fucking viking

Hey, I'll happily take a 348 or a 355. I love both of those, they were the pinnacle of classic Ferrari design in my opinion. Working on them isn't terribly hard either, you just need to have a bit of time and patience.

Doug still doesn't know WTF a high speed horn is. He always hits those horns and mocks them, but they were high speed European horns. When you are doing 165 mph, it is much easier to hear.
It still sounds goofy no matter what.
The covered tail lights is what made this car
LT Guile the cheese-slicer side intakes are what made the 348 for me. It was like a mini Testarossa, arguably one of the most iconic supercar of 1980 after the Countach ruled the 70s.
Toni, I admit the tail lights and side intakes are what set it apart from other Ferraris. I have seen ads in the back of Car & Driver magazine where they sold aftermarket parts to expose the rear tail lights. The aftermarket designs were actually handsome and made of metal. Wished I could see one with the redesigned covers.
Ferrari is famous for round tail lights. But if it's a square one, Ferrari will put the the black strips on it. Just to differentiate between round lights and the square ones

0-60 in 5.6 secs is a 4 out of 10? (Automobile claimed 5.4sec) Even by modern standards that's quicker than 90% of the cars on the road, including that GTI that you passed. The Doug score is a silly, arbitrary waste of time.
Ross Vidoni I always skip it :)
The 2018 f 150 with the 3.5 twin turbo does o to 60 in .. 5.9..weighs 7 thousand lbs ..
I agree totally. I mean you can't compare acceleration times between a SUV and 90 era sports car.
If you think about it, you can buy a corvette for less than half the price, still get a 0-60 under 4 seconds, and have a more reliable car. For the price that this car is, I would much rather pay a little more and get a 360, pretty fast and looks/sounds amazing.
The 5.4 for 0-100 was for the gtb/gts and spider models
For the tb/ts was 5.6
The wheels are directional. Two of the wheels are on backwards. Left Rear and one of the wheels on the right side need to be interchanged.
Patrick Chung lol I thought about that too. But isnt left rear right?
Patrick Chung Well spotted👍
DavidoggL In the automotive service world, whenever you refer to the side of a car or a component placement in a car, you always refer to it as if you're sitting down from the drivers seat of the car.
So rather than saying something like, the driver side headlight. You would say, the left headlight. See the problem here is that you don't know if the car is LHD or RHD. If the car were RHD but you were assuming it's LHD because you're in North America, then you would be talking about the wrong headlight. Same thing goes for when a car goes in to get its tires rotated.
But if you're sitting in the driver seat and your perspective of the car is from that point, it doesn't matter if the car is LHD or RHD. The Left headlight is always the Front Left.
The exact same thing applies if you are looking at a car in a video. You can't reliably relay the correct information about which side you're talking about because, are you looking at the car from the front of the car or the rear of the car? Are you pointed forwards or are you pointed backwards?
So it is universally accepted that components of the car are always referred to as if you're sitting down in the drivers seat since you are always looking forward in the car.
I've always loved the 348. The Ferraris from the late 80's and 90's are my favorites.
This video was very fun to watch, especially at the driving part. Doug looked happy and has so much lustre!
This car has more distance of cocaine lines sniffed than miles on the road.
the car does cocaine?
Yeah, but you have to use genuine Ferrari cocaine, supplied by an authorized dealer and snort it off a real OEM Ferrari mirror otherwise the resale value of the car goes into the toilet.
I stopped using auto correct it changed every thong

Driven one of these and it was a great experience. This and the Testarossa are easily some of the best Ferraris ever made when it comes to just driving for fun and not outright performance.
Do that Maybach review!!!
I SUPPORT THIS
The REAL Maybach!!
Skyler Blizard I think we know whose the stupid fuck here
Doug is the type of guy to show how the seat belt works but doesn't use it.
"Features and quirks"
What the hells that?
I'm only familiar with "Quirks and Features"
Wait a minute he was in Miami?! I am 99% sure I saw him driving this thing on 32nd and US1!! Gotta check the driving footage! So awesome!
Ganesh Gajavelli this was in Doral. I work right next to the place they were selling this car. They've got lots of cool stuff there.
I'd like to get to sleep. I have school tomorrow. But doug is ma man and i gotta watch this
Snowball good night
I saw a feature on the F40 some time ago which, if I can remember correctly, needed new suspension units every couple of years costing about £4,000 per corner. I tell you, I nearly spurted my absinthe...
U r the best car reviewer on UA-cam . nobody does it like u do . u only r the one on UA-cam who explains everything there is in a car with all information history , functions,buttons etc .
What u do in real senses is called car reviewing.
I like how the Civic Type R gets laughed at for the fake plastic air intakes, while on cars like this it is equally ridiculous.
Calvin Junge this has one , the civic has like a million
Calvin Junge it's more acceptable for an Italian designed car from the 80's
Calvin Junge I disagree. This is functional and isn't trying to look like something it isn't.
Jamie Dawson cocaine, so much cocaine
Daniel Baggins
how is a fake vent functional? I think the civic type r only had rear fake vents but I dont remeber.
I'm sorry, 0-60 in 5.6 seconds is still quick on the road especially. Never understood the snobbery on that
"They have a pretty nice inventory" they have a freakin Contach parked an inch away from a SLR
my friend has a 348 and tell you what, its a special Ferrari. Stunning in looks and an all round cruiser
Christian Amour Well, it's not exactly stunning in looks
Matthew Prather subjective things are subjective.
The 348 is by far my most favorite Ferrari of all time. It came out just a few months after my birth, but it's so modern looking compared to any other car that came out in the late 80s. I always felt that, compared to other Ferrari models of that period, the design was facing more towards the future instead of just resembling what was cool back then. Lamborghini did a similar approach with the Diablo, but I think the 348 still wins the competition!
I dont know why people hate 348. I love its design, say me idiot if I love this car I dont mind it, everyone has different taste.
"I dont know why people hate 348" ...... watch the video, and Doug explains why.
