Postel

Hi guys,

I know I have posted something like this a time ago, but now the 3 possible cars are finally chosen...

What would you choose and why? Have had any experiences with one of these cars?

Here they are (ad random):

Porsche 997 Turbo
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Convertible LIMITED EDITION N400
Audi R8

I still have no idea but going to decide in 2 two days...

Please help

All fabulous cars, you're in an enviable position my friend. 997 is the quickest by a massive margin, Aston is the best looking, Audi is a great car. For me, I'd be torn between the 997 TT and the Aston, but would ultimately go for the 997TT. Remember it's even quicker with the Tiptronic (3.8 seconds for the 0-60 run)

If it is your daily driver, I would recommend the R8.

Based on what I have read, the R8 outhandles the 911T and is easier to live with on a daily basis, although not as fast (0-60 in 4.0sec).

The Aston is nice looking but I have not seen ANY review that likes the Aston on a dynamic basis.

See review below:

i like the v8 vantage.

9977tt is a great car, but to be honest, i don't NEED something that fast.

the r8 is also a great car, but i'm not sure if the styling will still be attractive in a few years. it looks good now, but it may just be due to 'new car novelty'. a non-car enthusiast may even mistake the r8 for a common audi tt.

in the end, i'd go aston because its the best looking and best sounding car of the three. it doesn't drive as well as the other two, but it has other qualities that i think make it more desirable. aston, as a brand, is held in higher regard to either porsche or audi. if you were to meet ppl at a dinner party and they asked what car you drove, would you rather say you drove an audi, porsche, or aston martin? if you had an r8 and were talking to ppl who didn't know that much about cars, you'd have to explain how its not an ordinary audi, how its a mid-engined exotic, etc. if you had the 997tt, ppl would respect the porsche, but i think they would find the aston martin much more fascinating.

Postel, have you also considered the 997 911 GT3? Not quite as quick as the turbo, but one of the best handling and most focused cars on the planet. Cheaper than the 997 TT too (assuming you can get one for MSRP, dealers are trying to mark up here). Well worth a look if you're considering the turbo.

I would narrow it down to 997TT and the aston... as jet190rs the aston is an aston no matter what... do you really need all that power that the 997TT has?

You dont like anything else? Gallardo?

Hi, the R8 is boring, AM is not perfect, 997 Turbo would be the best choice of all these cars. How about Ferrari 599?

I think you couldn't go wrong with either car.

The 997tt is the all-around ultimate sports car, a little more practical, a trunk and room behind the front seats. It is also one a cleanest sports cars in the world.


Here are a couple of 997tt reviews, to help you out.
