Aston Martin Rapide 2013
 

Think of getting one, anybody here have any experience with this car or Aston Martin in general.

My experience has been that they always drive by, and never stop to pick me up. Not even once.

Build quality in 2000 was very good compared to other choices at the time .. lost a ton of value immediately, though.

I had a David Brown 7 or DB7 in the UK in 1995 loved that car I also had a Porsche 911 turbo that had some work done, like adding an extra turbo, engine blueprint and a 6 speed box in place of the standard 3 When like a bat out of hell. Insurance cost a fortune so the Aston had to go. I think overall i liked the Porsche better than the Aston . It used to eat Ferrari's for breakfast...

It is one good looking car.

looks very similar to some previous Aston Martin model. VERY similar.

i like them - a lot

I am going to be visiting the Aston Martin plant in UK next September....

I was thinkin' of picking one up.











Then the wife reminded me we had just enough for a Kia Optima EX.

It'll do 0-60mph somewhere between the driveway and the grocery store.

Unless they fixed the transmission lag, when you drive it anything else but "sport" mode I'd stay away from it. It had an annoying lag at stop lights:2 cents:

The Optima or the Aston Martin?

(amusing to mention those two cars in the same sentence :1orglaugh)

I would bang.
8 of 10

Nissan gts 10of10 would bamg and marry

Sweet looking ride :)

Thanks will be looking out for that :thumbsup

Ok so it looks the same as Db9, vanquish etc.

I drive an Optima EX Luxury and love it! I was about to spend $60,000 on a BMW 3 series when I test drove the Optima just for shits and giggles, it was $23k less than the BMW and had twice the features.

Beautiful, powerful, very expensive.

and good luck with that back seat :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

sorry, don't test drive optimas :winkwink:

Cant afford an Aston Martin... yet! :pimp

haha how were you going to spend 60 on a 3 series?? unless m3?

i cant a4d this one with my poor stats

Thing is a monster. I test drove one a few days ago - 0-80 in a split second next to century city.

This is my dream car.

And it comes with wireless headphones in the back and fits a carseat.

My wife said I can buy it but she'll divorce me.......

Sweet looking ride indeed

beautiful car, one of my faves :thumbsup

Simply stunning.

335 with retractible hard top goes above $60k

test drove the Ferrari FF, which is a similar idea..... Fantastic car, plenty of space in the back, even for me at 6' 3", but too expensive. with options and tax, about $400k USD

.:2 cents:


.

Yeah but the wifey isn't going to be on-board $400K for a car, wish she was :pimp
Nice car, though

Yeah. When I told my wife the price, she just looked at me, shook her head, and said, "Now you're just being silly. It's a car, not a boat or a condo!" I said, "But 650 horsepower and we can put the baby in the back!".

She just snorted and walked away.


And that was the end of that.
