One week of ownership
Discussion
I've had my car one week now (Torre red 2012 V8VS one owner with 11,250 miles) and thought I'd post my thoughts. Incidentally, the car came with a comprehensive service history of everything that's been done (I have all the paperwork which is nice).
We (the wife and I) flew down to Saratoga CA to collect the car from a private sale. We drove home (via two nights in San Fran) to Seattle taking in some of oceanfront roads, a few mountain passess and the motorway.
I was a bit hesitant about getting the sportshift as all my sports cars have been manuals, but I am totally sold on the sportshift. Once you get used to it, it seems so natural. The journey home was a blast and I'm smitten with the car. The exhaust noise is just incredible and I've succumbed to removing the exhaust fuse (15). The premium audio is really good too.
I took her to a car show this morning (http://www.exoticsat.com/gallery/) and the car got lots of positive attention.
She still has some extended warranty remaining and my local aston dealer has asked me to bring the car to them so they can check it out and also do an outstanding upgrade on her.
I've found myself going into the garage and just staring at the car.....beautiful.
Here are a few pictures.
