i found the cabin to be the same size as the 911 if not a little tighter..

AMG GTS would be a sweet ride...I noticed they have come down a lot on pricing.
Basically anything not a 911 is coming down... but there is a reason why Porsches hold their value.

The biggest pain with owning an Aston is the parts availability and there are some things that only the dealer can diagnose because they have their own proprietary software. I had an emissions leak code on my car and my usual indy shop couldn't find anything wrong and figure it out, they said I had to take it to the dealer. $500 diagnostic and many hours of diagnosis later (making the $500 a "good deal" really) it needed a new purge valve and gas cap. There were zero aluminum gas caps available anywhere in the world, there was only one plastic one available. I paid $180 for a plastic gas cap and it cost me about $2000 to get everything fixed, and altogether it took about a month to get the parts. I'm sure if those items were fixed on a Porsche it would have cost me 50-70% less. Pretty frustrating for something so simple but I really loved driving the car.

Neighbor of mine has one the same color, but wheels are nowhere as nice as your spec. It's wild how wide it looks from a distance, looks much wider than my WB 911.

What beautiful styling!

I always liked the long nose with the rearward seating position a-la-Ferrari Daytona from way back and the mint and low mileage Ferrari 550 Maranello that was advertised on Rennlist over the years that I almost bought. I ended up with my 991 GTS instead.

Looks great! Also interested in hearing about the shift action / feel in Aston.

The Vantage has a dog leg 7 speed, which takes some getting used to. You need to think before shifting every gear, and finding the right gear on downshifts is harder for me for some reason. It does not have a gated shifter, but still makes a satisfying mechanical click with every gear change. The clutch is easy to use. You can also flat shift (shift w/o taking your foot off the gas). It seems unnatural so I haven't tried it yet.
