Thinking of adding another 4 cylinders, but not sure which route to take.

I'm seriously considering Rapide (not the S). I know moving from a V8 roadster will be a completely different experience, but would be interesting to hear from any Rapide drivers on their ownership experience. We don't hear from many on the forum!

I went from a v8 to a v12 like many owners on here. I deliberately didn't take a V12 out for a drive before I bought the V8 as I knew I'd always want one. Now I have the V12 I cannot fault it at all! You'll have no regrets. There are some Rapide owners on here, the car suffers from depreciation badly so it depends where in the market your are for one.

As above though.... the Vanq is a bit of a tasty beast!

Not sure the budget will stretch to a Vanq, but a 3 year old Rapide seems good value. They are all spec'd up to the hilt. Can't believe they'll fall any further, when they're already on a par with older DB9s.
