Am thinking of buying a new Vantage Roadster (perhaps the N400 version),have concerns about reliability for everyday use. Any guidance/comments from existing owners would be much appreciated. Thanks

Been using mine as a daily driver for nearly two years... no issues to report. I drive it to work... I leave it at the airport when I travel...

Besides squeaky brakes, occasional rattle, horrible gas mileage when you get frisky, and parking it carefully... nothing much different from my old M3.

I agree, have been running mine for 12 months now, done over 11,000 miles with no real problems apart from my headlights being aligned incorrectly which was easy to fix.

same here - mine is a daily drive too - no issues other than what were warranty fixes like the squeaky brakes and gearshift. Ive now done 20K miles in it since April and it just keeps getting better smile

Ditto - 70 miles each way which includes motorway and Ken's congestion in London. Coupe for 10 months and Roadster for 6 months. No issues other than my inability to navigate the nose through tight spots which has caused a couple of minor scrapes.
