                      Thanks, Mitch
                      if you are basing it on looks alone.. it is a very beautiful car. however.. it is a very stiff driving vehicle for supposedly being a luxury auto. the gear box is also very stiff to drive. shifting is not smooth in the least bit, and you will go through a gear box or two while owning one.

                      just some advice!

                        Is that a problem with all of the Astons? How do you know this?

                                Will you take a pay cut so I can buy it?

                                  I've had a couple of friends that have owned Aston Martins. once again, beautiful cars, just very disappointing in overall performance... and i don't mean "get up and go"... i just mean overall. The way the gearbox is designed, you would think AM would design it to shift smoother. it's very much like driving those video game cars at the local arcade where the gear shifter has to be exact. bad analogy, but very precise.

                                  The cars have great torque to them, and for the most part are quiet when driving up to about 60 mph. anything over 60 and you start getting alot of wind noise as well as engine noise.

                                  Test drive one and drive the shiat outta it... you'll see exactly what I am talking about.

                                  And as i've said, you will go through at least 1 gearbox while owning one... usually around the 30k mileage point. Unfortunately it's a common problem... and not in the least bit cheap to fix.

                                        Honestly, buy it if you like it. Youve earned it.

                                        You, being one of the few classy people I have had the pleasure of meeting in this industry, deserve to drive what you like.

                                          are you talking about the Top Gear episode? those guys absolutely nailed it. that was my reference yes, however, i do have two friends that have owned the Aston Martins, as well as a friend that is a certified auto mechanic in Florida for Jaguar and Aston Martin.

                                          but if you want to view some videos on the Aston on YouTube.. check these out.

                                              The cars have great torque to them, and for the most part are quiet when driving up to about 60 mph. anything over 60 and you start getting alot of wind noise as well as engine noise.

                                              Test drive one and drive the shiat outta it... you'll see exactly what I am talking about.

                                              And as i've said, you will go through at least 1 gearbox while owning one... usually around the 30k mileage point. Unfortunately it's a common problem... and not in the least bit cheap to fix.
                                              Thank you for the information. I will certainly look more into it if I decide to move forward.

                                                  Thanks Paul. My feelings are mutual. You are an awesome guy. It was great spending some time with you in FL.

                                                    I was maybe a bit harsh with the "few" comment, but you are one of the truly good ones. I have had the utmost pleasure of meeting alot of good people in this industry so I should retract that statement. You are absolutely one of the top though.

I liked it but for $120K + tax i'd rather have a used Ferrari 360. I was surprised that the seats were pretty snug fitting - much more so than any other car i've driven.

                                                                                        I have not test drove it yet but am planning to. Any opinions and experiences?



                                                                                        Thanks, Mitch

Not super fast but it handles amazingly and as far as looks go/exclusitivity, KNOCK OUT!!! Price should be around $120K or so if you can grab one....not too many around from what I've seen.

The way the gearbox is designed, you would think AM would design it to shift smoother. it's very much like driving those video game cars at the local arcade where the gear shifter has to be exact. bad analogy, but very precise.

                                                                                          The cars have great torque to them, and for the most part are quiet when driving up to about 60 mph. anything over 60 and you start getting alot of wind noise as well as engine noise.

                                                                                          Test drive one and drive the shiat outta it... you'll see exactly what I am talking about.

                                                                                          And as i've said, you will go through at least 1 gearbox while owning one... usually around the 30k mileage point. Unfortunately it's a common problem... and not in the least bit cheap to fix.

A great deal of time and effort has been spent ensuring that the new transmission has a smooth and fast shift action to ensure its ultra close ratios can be used to maximum effect.
