pockmark Report post Posted January 26, 2006 Need some help guys, thinking of getting out of my spur and possibly into an audi a8w12 comments greatly appreciated. Go watch the Transporter 2 and you will have your choice. Also has a Murci Roadster in it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sr.G Report post Posted January 26, 2006 Hey mike, My suggestion is a bit tight but I really like Aston Martin very Executive especially the vanquish S. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
none Report post Posted January 26, 2006 Maserati Quatroportte?? <-stupid both of you need to go to a mirror and slap yourselves i wouldnt wish that car on anyone. way too many problems and if you are looking for a daily driver you would get sick of this car in a hurry. LOL agree, I would rather have a VW Thing and in a few years they will both be worth the same money. I would hold out for the new Aston Martin Radiad if your looking for four doors like the spur. The Aston has drop dead looks, unbelievable quality, great performance, four doors and the nav is not bad not to mention you get the added bonus of having the first one around how exclusive is that.

none Report post Posted January 27, 2006 The Aston has .... unbelievable quality.... WHAT? I have a very good looking 03 Volante that might say otherwise... Really? When I was asking around everyone who had a newer car said it was for the most part problem free, most were second or thrid time owners and keep going back. Won't be in production for another year minimum. Did not know it was that far out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was asking around everyone who had a newer car said it was for the most part problem free, most were second or thrid time owners and keep going back. Nothing major that would leave you on the side of the road or anything, but little annoying things like handles that break off in your hand, hoods that don't close unless you have three people, FUNKY electrical gremlins, weird tranny shifting, Climate control system that makes no sense and NO MOTHER F_CKING CRUISE CONTROL! What iritates me the most is the ford/jaguar/mazda parts that are in the astons! Not big parts, but little $hit in the dash/interior.

Far better car then the 05 in every sence. we work on a lot of DB9's but hardly any Vanquish S they are pretty reliable. sorry bout that cruise control abolfaz.

corvette Report post Posted January 28, 2006 GO with the A8 great car and i really like their system how to use navigation system etc.Grandma has it of course not the v 12 Mercedes has a lack of quality in last years my dad sold his E 500 for a Lexus and has much less repairs on Lexus. Grandparents still love thei mercedes guess it s because they never drive their own because it s for a repair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I spent a week going back on forth on doing the Vanquish or the db9. In the end I would have done the Van if I was only getting one car now but I really want a lambo as well and I just could not financially swing the Van and a lambo.

M3GTR Report post Posted April 7, 2006 The A8L W12 is the exact same car, minus some interior pieces and front end.... If the Flying Spur is boring you the A8L will be even more boring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
