If you don't want to hear it screaming, preferably directly behind your head, why would you buy a Ferrari in the first place? Or really a lot of Italian cars...
Opinion: if I'm buying a whole-ass 911, I don't want this ridiculously tiny thing to put it in drive. I mean, what I really want is a proper manual, but if I can't have that, I'd like something more than a glorified toggle switch
Italian cars are not unreliable. They just have a different maintenance schedule and idiot mechanics back in the 70s did not realize you can't just treat them like big, lazy American engines. Thus, uninformed owners accidentally made them unreliable through poor maintenance
