For Aston Martin V8 Vantage owners the eternal dilemma comes down to is this a car that can be driven daily or is it the kind of car that should only be driven on special weekend drives? The Vantage occupies a very interesting space – not mundane enough to be a daily driver, but perhaps practical enough to be considered. It is tempting as a daily vehicle because it is compact, has relatively manageable dimensions, and has stunning looks. However, the maintenance costs, fuel consumption, and the fact that driving something so special every day is a lot of emotional investment to make, make it a very impractical vehicle.
