What else for a daily drive?
Discussion
Hi all,
I currently use my V8V Roadster as a daily drive and have put 14k miles on it from new (around 18 months). Not too bad, but I can't help thinking that I should also have a much lower value vehicle for the odd 100 mile run here and there that I have to do. I only have to drive 4 miles to and from the office so thats not too bad, but increasingly I'm having to do 1 hour drives for business so really feel I ought to have something that mileage doesn't matter so much on. So..... what should I have as a 2nd car for running around and doing boring business drives in?
Cheers

A Rapide?
I've done about 14000 in 18 months with my car two. I picked up a second car for bad weather and bad neighborhoods. For anything else I have a tough time not taking the Vantage. Since you want it for longer drives and are apparently in the UK (I'm in the US) your choice of second cars will differ.

A4 Avant Quattro 2.0T is a great stablemate - quickish, plenty of doors, grippy and room for the bikes.
Same. Just swapped my 3.0TDi Avant for an S4 Avant (my 5th A4 variant in 13 Years): Transports dogs, children, rubbish to the tip, does 0-60 in some seconds and goes smartly in all weathers. Really looked very hard at Range Rovers, but just couldn't justify the price for the 5.0ltr and the 3.6/3.0 just wasn't brisk enough for my tastes. But then my AMV8 is the '89 original which is certainly no daily driver...Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
