Comparison Test: 1984 Ferrari 308 GTSi vs. 2007 Kia Sedona EX - There's a real question to be answered here: How far has the automobile progressed in 23 years? Can a new minivan outrun a two-decade-old supercar? (more)

Replying to: josephb1 (Sep 21, 2007 10:04 am) They sound sweet. But can you drive either to Newfoundland? Don't forget the canoe! (Habitat1, I bet there's a line queued up already)

I think one thing that's lost on this comparison (and the entire LT test) is that a 2005 Lotus Elise can be had for around 30k. Granted the Elise lacks the name, the unabashed sex appeal, and the sentimental value of the Ferrari, but it can run circles around anything else available for the price, and be reliable, at least in theory, thanks to the Toyota powertrain.
#17 of 17 Cost to Own by Mr_Shiftright HOST Oct 09, 2007 (9:45 am)
It's been pretty carefully figured out that an old Ferrari will cost you about $1--$1.50 per mile to drive. So 5,000 miles, be repaired to write checks for $7,500.
