imi Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Today I test drove the Aston Martin v8 vantage S. Really nice car, easy to drive and fun when you want it to be.... For £100k it's just rather pricey Astons look and sound great. Personally - it would be a R8 if it was me. 911s are way too boring and a GTR is over hyped, overcomplicated and seriously overweight, over-ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Still trying to arrange the r8 drive... You will be surprised... The GTR does not feel heavy at all... In fact feels nippy and light weight which is very strange for such a large car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, they drive really well (amazing response, great grip) however for a 60K car I was disappointed with the looks (both exterior and its American like interior - shapes) - I am 5.9 so with its low seating position I felt as if I was surrounded by a Tank Compound that with their crazy running costs and repair costs when you have a minor shunt (from posts on here) - puts me off straight away; helps accelerate the depreciation though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
