Are Vantage reliable as a daily driver?
Discussion
So after my first thread I made my choice for a 2009 or newer vantage convertible stick shift with under 20K miles.
I started looking at some dealer and got some dealers feedback that the vantage are not reliable and would cost a lot to run as a daily, and that my vantage would spend a lot of time at the dealer getting fixed.
I dont know if its a dealer trick to sale me something else or what.
I'm driving a corvette grand sport and this is pretty bullet proof, I like to drive hard on mountain road and as I live in California a lot in traffic and most of the time in really warm weather.
Any advice before I pull the trigger would be great.

No it wasn't a aston dealer, just few some dealer specialized in high end European cars.
Running a vette is not that cheap either, tires are the main expenses and at over $450 per rear tire and knowing that I change them at list twice a year.
I dont mind spending on gas/insurance and wearable, I just dont like my car being at the dealer every months.
How can I know about the clutch life? is there better aftermarket that I can instal?

the few dealers I talked to, told me that I would spend a lot of money to keep it on the road if not use as a week end car and that I should use this money to get something better.
I have to agree that people in California use their car a different way, I'm from Europe and use to see sports car used a daily with high milage, here when a car got more than 20K miles it is a hight mileage car for some people.

thats great info...
So is the paddle gear box/clutch stronger than the stick?
I would rather get a stick but as Los Angeles traffic can be insane if I have to burn a stick clutch every year I may be considering the paddle gear, I would not drive it in D, ever... I to much like sporty driving.
