Are they any good,
I don't think so. Certainly not very popular on this forum. 
Sorry about that, we share a whacky sense of humour.
The Aston Martin Rapide (S is the current model) is a much admired sports saloon. Initial depreciation is something to watch for, and makes one year old cars very attractive.
You will have to give more details of what you need from the car.
The rear seats are a little cramped,so if you require a roomy 4 seater it might not be for you.
As Jon has said the Rapide 2010 -2013 has suffered from considerable depreciation and is good VFM.
The face lifted Rapide S was introduced in 2013 .
The car has a luxurious interior and looks the biz.

Cool but compromised is the best way to describe the Rapide. Savage depreciation means they offer awesome value at 1 1/2-2 years old and still under AM warranty. Rear seats are compromised but great for kids, try and get one with the rear entertainment package and if you go for a 12MY + the reversing camera is useful and the nav will be the newer Garmin set-up. Just be aware that if you pile on the miles it will continue depreciating hard as Aston's are mileage sensitive. It is still a great drivers car despite the larger size and increased weight, oh and the Luxe edition is nice find.
Best of luck....

Is the solution to this Grant just to stare at it? 
Staring is good - sitting in it is fine - revving on the drive is ok - listening to the Premium Audio at full blast while stationary is good - cleaning the car is also ok, see you can have lots of fun without turning a wheel Grant3 said:
