Aston will spend more time being fixed and cost a lot more to maintain IMO.
I thought the newer Astons like newer Fezzas were quite reliable

If I buy an Aston, do I get dealer service by helicopter just like VBH in 5th-Gear's test? No, didn't think I would.

harsh words craig. so you're saying i'm fat - well i'm only 11stone 9 at the moment and i go to meetings in the firm's pool car cos it looks a bit much to turn up to meet the directors of a company in receivership in any sort of sports car (even a very old 911!)
and i love that aston - esp the c pillar - so reminiscent of that gorgeous toyota corolla t sport don't you think.......
