Will be in need of a “special” 2+2 in the coming months. Me, wife, baby to toddler. Day to weekend trips. Have other cars for longer hols / daily.
I have done the 911 thing plus a Maserati GT (great for the money).
In the list are
Lexus LC 500
BMW i8
Ferrari California
Ferrari FF (maybe, at a stretch)
Evora
No interest in M / AMG / RS Audi cars, bit mainstream.
MPG not an issue but don’t want anything that is a bag of spanners nor horrific depreciation. 5-10 year old. £50-£90k budget.
Inspire me please!

FF
LC 500
California
In that order.
In reality though, none. As I would need a manual.
If the FF is to much of a stretch then it's the LC500:

If you have the opportunity to obtain a V12 Ferrari, then you must do it before it's too late. Here's an FF

Are DB11 rear seats any better than the DB9? Neither ad saw fit to even show them!https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202201261...

This was my first thought too. I used to really enjoy going out in mine with my missus and eldest daughter when she was a baby/toddler. The Cerb can be very needy though, so that is definitely something to consider. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/12010687

Do the Aston rear seats fold?
lol doubt it. Are you after a grand tourer or a hot hatch? I'm not sure the rears fold in any of the cars you have listed.FF rear seats fold individually and give enough space to put for example a bike or snowboard into the back.
If you can afford it, I would get the FF - it is a bit heavy and unfortunately not available as manual, but apart from that it is exceptional IMO
I have not driven a 612, but think those are also really nice and more classically beautiful
Good luck
Left field choice would be a Maserati GranSport (smalle than the GranTourismo but still decent sized rear seats)
