..........and other colours inside. Looks like a tuning car. Outside it looks also poor, something between Ford Vignale and AM.
The old one is an AM pure. The point is, you see every design mistake on a white car. This car had no mistakes, it is perfect!
Aston Martin V8. Some old pictures to feed dreams.
DB9, DBS, DB whatever you want... They are all fantastic cars. But I would be more than happy with the Aston Martin V8. Very Aston, nice motor, powerful enough, great body. What's not to like? Aaah, yes, I would like a manual gear box... And probably a di...
DBS and Vantage definitely available with manual gearbox...
I'm fairly certain the DBS and Vantage are available with a manual gearbox. I've personally driven both the DBS and Vantage with a manual gearbox in the USA. Haven't driven them in Europe though, but I imagine they produced manual cars for European market...
A great car in that
it gave one a feel good factor even before starting the engine. One of the most perfect shapes ever in my opinion together with the Ferrari Dino. UK roads are not the widest so the width of the car is just about the maximum one would want in a car. The ne...
I had it for 5 years
the longest I had owned any car so far. What acceleration! Bullet proof reliability!! It was so good, I was even tempted to upgrade to CLK63 AMG or a black series but the price differential was too great for the small gains. Go try one Patrick! Best barga...
Great choice Nico!
I love the C43 range as it makes so much more sense that the C63s and the Coupe is a lovely looking car. My only qualm is the satellite navigation display that looks like an add on as it is not as integrated into the dashboard as in the E and S classes. O...
Absolutely!
Many years ago I bought a limited edition Civic Type R and did not test drive it as the car was in Scotland. The car was sold out everywhere type R was great but my then wife, started feeling sick in it as the ride was way too hard. I had to sell the car...
Well, car addiction is another of my crazy hobbies... Good to have this kind of discussions. Thank you for that. As for the C 43 AMG, I am impatient to discover it.
THAT may well be my next car. Best, my friend. nico
For the money Nico
I don't think you can get a better new car. Yes some people may scream Porsche Cayman S or GTS but the C43 can carry four people in comfort and is a better bet than offerings from BMW, Audi and Jaguar.
No contest to be honest Nico.
The quality of the engine and the design of the interior shines through!
The TT in any generation
has a lovely interior and exterior. Very solid but the current Mercedes range mixes style with build quality.
Dealers seldom
keep a C43 as a demonstrator as the demand is so strong. It is like me trying to view a RW Smith watch before buying one!!
Great endorsement!
I've got the supercharged 4 door version. But I like the lighter, naturally aspirated 2 door version, or the super rare C55 that was only made from 2005-6 was a nice car too! As you mentioned; great acceleration, great reliability.
AMG has finally achieved its rightful place.
My dream had always been the SLS AMG and after two test drives, I still could not part with my watches as that was the only way I could afford one!
I'd like an SLS too...
I haven't driven one. But the long hood, the gullwing doors, and the design is a future classic! It's an incredible design!
I thought initially it was a bit wide
but it is actually so easy to drive. It remains my dream car!
I have a strange feeling Patrick
that you might be able to afford one way before me. In addition, it would be the perfect car for California with its wide roads!! Buy one and I may have to make a special trip to visit you
My next car will be electric!
And shockingly (pun intended), a Tesla is faster than a Mercedes Benz SLS AMG! I'll let you know when I get an SLS. They're hard to come by. And I only want a gullwing version (non roadster). I drive the supercharged E55 AMG currently, it's a great car to...
Definitely the gull wing!
Not sure why anyone would buy the roadster because part of the attraction is the gull wing! No Tesla for me - the reliability is questionable and it is not so much outright speed but the way the speed is delivered that matters. The V8 of the SLS really ne...
I had not expected the BRZ to be as good as it is
and I will say that of all the cars I have owned (over 40 in 30 years), it ranks a commendable second after the NSX!! Go try one Nico - for me, it is a keeper!
If you are not a badge snob Nico
this car makes a compelling choice. For me it is one of the most under rated cars currently being sold. Many moan about the lack of outright speed and the low torque levels but they miss the point entirely. The way the car delivers the power and its near ...
Was it so obvious?! :-)
Now for the only minus point - the rear seats are useless even for midgets!!
I like to leave the car the way it was intended to be
I know some people enjoy modifying their cars and their watches (strap changes for example) but I love to keep things as original as possible. 200bhp is enough for me

I like the car, but more with the V12
It is a GT, not a real performant sports car, too heavy, certainly for cornering, it is just no match at all for any 911. I didn't drive with the new V8 Vantage yet. I'm thinking about the Vanquish rather, I think it has the more beautiful lines. Also a G...
Nice cars Nico But
Did you ever consider 911s ? Perfect size,Reliability,drive and will never looks old (Any of the models)
I am a big fan of the 911. Fun and very reliable.
My wife has a Targa. My only complaint is it feels like a small car compared to my California T and my brothers AM Vanquish. I am trying to decide which car to sell, both 2015, Targa has 3,400 miles and California T has 24,000 miles. I think the Targa wil...
I have been driving the Targa for the past two days.
Has been fun, maybe I will keep it. It is definitely more reliable than the F car.
