Aston Martin NS420 Pics - Daily Driver ?
Attended a cars and coffee event at an Aston Martin Dealer. I fell in love with a Vantage N420 in Carbon Black. Never owned an Aston. I was thinking about the N420 as a Daily Driver. It has an unlimited miles, 3 year warranty. Any opinions?

The N420 is the Nurburgring Edition. 420 HP. Limited to 420 cars WW. It really growls. Very nice mix of luxury and sport. This car is number 135. The Bang and Olufsen Stereo system in it is very cool. It was a $7200 option. But much better than the premium system on the Ferrari's. I think I'll get it.

[QUOTE=ljg;927916]Did you just talk yourself into it in that post?!
Enjoy!
You actually talked me into to it. When I'm on the car buying fence, it doesn't take much of a push to knock me onto the buy side.

B&O system is pretty good but not that good. It tends to be thrown in by the dealer as a deal breaker more than being specced. The sports shift is very clunky like E Gear or R Tronic I would go for the manual.
Also if you do go for it, there are big discounts to be had here in the UK so don't see why it would be too different in the US.

they are loud yet slow, not an appealing combination. i wouldn't consider it.
id rather a slightly used DB9 sport pack if you want a dd, 6 speed aston. that creamy V12 is much better suited to daily driver duty.
