Having finally had some time to actually drive my V6 (albeit one handed due to my broken collarbone) I can honestly say its the most fun thing I've driven.
There's so much to look at and the noises are fantastic and it always seems to be the centre of attention wherever it goes. Someone who'd seen me parking up earlier in the day got chatting at the pub this evening and he's got 3 Aston's in his garage. That's what I like about the car, it's so unique it appeals to petrolheads of every variety.
The pull from standstill is impressive and the traction is incredible with all the weight over the rear wheels. The car is also seriously planted in the corners. I'm going to have to get it on the track to get a feel of the balance point but in the dry on B roads it feels magnetised to the road. The noise is intoxicating when you get into the revs and also from low revs, but I can see an aftermarket exhaust in the pipeline to really add to the theatre of the car.
My only bugbear is the ludicrously long clutch pedal which i'm told is self adjusting. Really would like to dial out some of the travel in it.
I'm hooked!
