Hey guys,
I recently found myself getting the bug to make another purchase. And found that my choices lie between 14-15 Porsche 911 4s and 2012 2013 Aston Martin Vantage, maybe perhaps new Jaguar Ftype R convertible.figured since this is a Jaguar site there may be a few British car enthusiast to have owned an Aston Martin somewhere along their driving career. If so may anyone be able to provide some type of insight towards the ownership and what they experienced.
I can vouch for porsche/jaguar owning experience and imho they tend to be pretty standup cars.
I've yet to know an Aston Martin driver/owner. Once again I would appreciate any advice or insight one can provide.
Thanks in advance, happy holidays,
DAG

 

Why not just go for the new Aston Martin Vantage GT? You'll get a brand new car in your spec's for just under 100k? I'd take that over an F-type.

 

dag82,

One such owner in Atlanta of both an XKR and Aston Martin on this forum is RSCULTHO. He recently traded his 2010 XKR coupe for a gorgeous 2009 Aston Martin DBS. You can PM him by going to the UserCP link at the top left of the main page.

Here are some of the threads he started about his XKR and DBS:
