The Aston is a solid ride, but doesn't have that go kart fun drive to it. It's very heavy.
I paid more for mine and it's Convertible if that helps.

Wait a minute.....
First you said the R8 was a " rough " ride and now your saying the R8 is a better
ride than the Aston. That Aston must drive like a tank
BTW, how do those drive compared to that Ferrari you lowered?
I'm 6' 7" so space is a premium to me. I don't mind a tight fit but I do need to be able to reach the clutch and I need to have my head in a normal position and not tucked down so I don't rub the roof. I used to have a Toyota Celica that was fine for me to drive. Now I drive Jeeps.
The R8 seemed like a roomy enough car but sporty enough to get that exotic car feel and a great deal at the $100K price point. I like the Aston even more but thought they were more expensive. If I had lotto money I'd definitely have one of those special edition orange Aston Martins with some killer wheels and get it tuned.
I guess next time I take pictures of an exotic car I should ask if I can sit in it for a test fit. I'm guessing about 4/5 of them I couldn't even drive and the other 1/5 I can't afford.
Come to think of it I don't even know why I'm in this thread
