[Killer2005]

As much as the 911, and GTR are brilliant cars and probably slightly more fun I'd have the Aston

[ludicrous speed]

If it was a 997 turbo I'd have gone for that, but it's not, so I'll take the gtr.

[Flanders.]

DB9. Its just fantastic

[Negative Creep]

If I were in that position I'd pick the Aston (BRG if you're offering thanks). It's the nicest looking of the lot and for me it just has that extra "wow" factor

[Mazdarese]

I love the 911 and the Aston, but I'd go for the Jag as it's much newer with lower miles and I'm sure will be a great daily.

The Nissan, whilst I'm sure it's a great car, is a bit too in-your-face for a daily.

[anonymous-user]

A daily for me would need to have half sensible running costs which rules out the GTR and the Aston. The Porsche is out as I dont really like the attention they bring and the Corvette (although quite nice) is not going to be a comfortable place to be for long motorway trips. Therefore the Jag it would have to be.

[ZeeTacoe]

The corvette. For 40k though I'd have the z06

[Colin 1985]

What the hell is stuck to the front of the GTR!

Aston or XKR.

[BeeRoad]

The Jag as a daily for me - best ride, best refinement, extremely relaxing place to cover many miles in yet a sublime chassis. The only downside is a 2008 one will have the old 4.2 instead of the lovely new 5.0.

Love the Aston but have to agree XKR is without a doubt the best "daily"

[Emsman]

911 all day, everyday

[W00DY]

I'd take the Aston because it's the one which would make me smile every time I saw it, second choice would be an XKR if I wanted something a bit cheaper to run.

[Simond S]

Aston,

Not that one though as I dont like the interior. Big thumbs up for Sam Hall though good guy to buy from.

[r1ch]

911 for me please. Simply because i've always loved a good porker.

It boiled down to the Aston and the 911 for me.

My sensible side was screaming Aston, but I clicked the Turbo, purely because it seems like a more 'flexible' car.

[markmullen]

If, as you say, it is going to be a daily driver then the Porsche without a doubt.

As a guide I took out a 550 BHP X50 turbo on Tuesday with around 6-8 inches of snow on the ground. There was no sillyness, no wheelspin, the thing just gripped.

With a Turbo S you could spend all Monday ragging the nuts off it at Silverstone and on Tuesday go to Waitrose in it, nothing will have broken. You can park them on the street without getting too much adverse attention, drive them in all weathers and still be a car capable of the neck end of 200mph. Point to point there is little quicker then a recent 911 Turbo (996 or 997).

[H_Kan]

Purely from a running costs point of view, it would be the 911 or Jag. I'd personally go 911.

[theironduke]

If i could afford to buy and run ANY of them then i'd have the Aston in a heartbeat, no question.

Great spiel. It's almost as if you sell them.
