yeah every time I come accross a similar thread to this people reccomend to avoid the 355 due to expensive maintenance. I am suprised to hear it is analogous to the 993.
There was a thread on lotustalk where A guy cataloged his cost of ownership to drive a 430 for a few years I think it was something like a couple bux a mile. It was really insightfull. Another owner commented that owning a 328 was completely reasonable but would never be cheap like owning a 930. That point cemented the fact that my admiration for the marque will be from the outside vantage
