Anyone know the specifics? Is it the quality of the parts, the craftsmanship of the workers, or something else? Is it the complexity of the Ferrari? I would really like to know.
Are you kidding?? It can pretty much be summed up in one word. Honda.
I knew someone would say that. So, what makes a Honda reliable and a Ferrari unreliable?:biggrin:
Take a poll of 100 NSX owners, and 100 Ferrari owners.
Im not sure that Ferraris are unreliable, per se, just maintenance intensive.
Well though I don't know much about Ferarri. If they put 10% of their efforts in reliability as they do design, it would be the worlds best car.

RACECARS are not reliable. :wink:Well though I don't know much about Ferarri. If they put 10% of their efforts in reliability as they do design, it would be the worlds best car.
Porsche probably also replaced more of their engines under warrantee than the entire history of Ferrari. All jokes aside, P car does replace quite a few engines.1) Manufacturing/Engineering: Honda is high volume with the experience of quality control, robotics and detailed assembly lines. For the most part, repetition = quality.
I would say this is about the best answer. I read somewhere that Porsche makes more cars in a year then Ferrari has made in its history. Not sure how true that is but just think of how many more cars Honda makes then Porsche let alone Ferrari. All that said Ferrari has come a long way. A lot thanks to the NSX I think.
You mean... proper?Not to mention the 360 with chassis approach similar to the NSX.
Well they must never drive their cars because a timing belt still costs THOUSANDS of dollars. They didnt switch to chains until the F430, but I dont believe you need to drop the motor in order to do it like a 355.Very true indeed...Ferrari finally built reliablity (somewhat) into the 360 until now. I've spoke with several owners, and the 360s aren't any more expensive to maintain than your MB or Pcars.
