I love my car but the AM will scratch my childhood itch to be James Bond (not a very good reason I know). On the street the Taycan feels faster. If it were one of the manual Vantages I would get it in a heartbeat, but I couldn't find one of those in a spec I liked. What do?

I've always wanted a Vantage and when the time came I went with the Taycan. Regardless of which you pick you'll wonder if you'd have liked the other one more.

A few weeks ago I was at an outdoor mall and parking my Taycan while some dude was parking his Vantage....I was gawking at his car and he was gawking at mine. 😂

What's my point? No clue.

I always do this. I have a dream and even though the dream is within my grasp I end up going with something else. Why did you change your mind?

When I had to make the decision the Vantage was the same old car with new styling and the Taycan was something new altogether.

My SO brought clarity to the situation, she said:

1. This is a first world problem. Congrats. There is no wrong choice.

2. Buy one and if you change your mind, sell it, and buy the other one.

It is a stunningly beautiful car. It is not a great car. What are your priorities? Decide and act accordingly. The only thing that matters is whether you are happy. Maria Kondo your life. But ICE cars are part of the problem, so there is that . . .

No, keep you Taycan 4S. There is a reason why Aston Martins are not super difficult to acquire.

Fascinating post since I noticed this Aston Martin Vantage today at work, snapped a pic, looked up specs, and did a walk around of it. I like my Taycan to the right much better no question and hands down. To each his own.

I actually love Aston Martins, especially the V8 Vantage. I think it's a timeless design, however, they do not seem to hold-up as a collector's car and there are better driver's; better performance and reliability. I might do an older F-Type SVR over a Vantage, though neither holds a candle to my Taycan IMHO,

No way.
if i’d get it for free, i’d sell it and buy (another) Taycan :angel:

edit: i have nothing against AM, i just don’t want to go back to ICE.

I have always loved AM’s and one of my dream cars is still the DBS (Casino Royale model).
A friend of mine recently bought a 1,5year old Vantage with dealer warranty.
11 issues found after delivery, they are unwilling to fix 4. Passing it on to user error and other bs. Which is not remotely true.
This has severely impacted my desire for one and I am not sure I will own one in the future…

You should have got his number and done a car swap for a week!

It blows my mind how similar the performance numbers are:
