V12 Vantage to Cygnet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Discussion
The beast has been in the dealership for two weeks awaiting a new fuel filler valve/vent (yes 2 weeks honest!) it was duly returned but had gained a new addition - the pungent smell of super unleaded inside the cabin.
Now it was bad enough that it had to go back in AGAIN after two weeks away (and with the last of the good weather now gone!), but the replacement for the beast was a.......... Cygnet - luckily it was dark by the time I drove home last night
It is the first one I have spent time getting up close and personal with and must confess it looks quite funky at the front, tastefully finished in Meteorite Grey. It even has keyless go and a funky interior, but this car shouldn't wear the Aston badge IMO it drives like an iQ (as if it is on stilts) and I happened to look at the list price of said Cygnet - nearly £37,000 -
- you can get a lot of nice cars for that type of dosh.

t, regardless of it being a badged-up IQ I'd expect something of similar ilk to my Aston if it was in for that long. Not a poxy runabout... Surely they must have a used Aston in stock you could use?
In 4 odd years of Aston ownership I have either declined a courtesy car for logistical reasons or I have been offered a snotter like a 316 diesel :-(t, regardless of it being a badged-up IQ I'd expect something of similar ilk to my Aston if it was in for that long.

I'm all for it, AM should enforce that all Service departments only provide Cygnets as courtesy vehicles.......
It's better for the planet,more economical,easier to park and not so bloody noisey........
Sorry I seem to have lost it,this is what being between Astons can do to you......be warned.
