Autocar drives the Aston Martin Rapide
#14
After being up close and personal with this car and I can can say that interior space leaves something to be desired. Of course the look and feel of everything is top notch, quite what you would expect from AM (though I find the DBS interior for example to be more ergonomically friendly). At 6'3" I had a hard time folding myself into the rear seat and the trunk has less space than a 2dr fastback.
I will say the car is quite beautiful in the flesh, much better than it appears in pictures. I am a few weeks away from driving one so I can't comment on that bit, but aesthetically I think this car is a success. As for it's utility, well, not sure that you would use the extra space realistically any more than you would had you bought a DB9.

Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to agree with this guy. I don't like it near as much as I thought I would. I (and I kind of hate myself for saying this) would go with a Panny over this any day.
