Well I never owned a V8 Vantage but a UK friend of mine owns a Rapide (not the S but the earlier less powerful version).
We went to the PDC in Millbrook last May in his car and I was quite impressed with it, I could see myself owning one eventually. The PDC instructors rated the Rapide very highly and said it handled very well, especially for a 4 door!
I think it is one of the nicest, actually THE nicest 4 door car on the market, compared to a V8 Vantage it won't be as nimble but you soon forget the additional doors when pressing on. If you need the extra seats, go for it.

I use to scoff at 4 door sports cars but I had the pleasure of some time in a Rapide S 18 months ago. They're lovely and if your family / work life needs the extra space you'll not be disappointed. They are also a crazy amount of car for the money!
