Recently purchased a 2017 Rapide S Shadow Edition. First time Aston owner. I was in the market for a sports sedan and was thinking about getting a Panamera when this car caught my eye. I’ve had Porsches and BMWs in the past but this beauty is on another level!

 

Truly a beautiful car!

Have fun with your new baby and thanks for sharing the photo.

 

I have the same!!! You obviously have great taste and are a discerning gentleman!

 

Thank you!

 

Haha great minds think alike!

 

Beautiful car. The Rapide is sooo much nicer than a Porsche. An Aston is an experience every time you look at it or drive it. Enjoy.

 

Congrats, beautiful car! Have had my '14 Rapide S for around 6 months now. I'm also a 1st time AM owner and am smitten. The engine is glorious!

 

Had my Rapide for 6-7 years and it's a hoot except when you need to park it!

 

I agree. My daily driver is a Cayenne Turbo S which I love but it’s been parked in the garage since I got the Rapide. Can’t stop driving this thing.

 

The engine is the best part about this vehicle. Sounds phenomenal. The first thing I did was buy the CCC valve controller. Can’t wait to install it.

 

I live out in the burbs and haven’t had any issue with parking it but it definitely is long and have to be careful parking and also turning around corners so I don’t clip the rear wheels.

 

It's nice looking. Big everywhere except inside.

 

I know someone selling a similar '14 Rapide S in Switzerland for 59000 CHF if someone is looking for a Rapide in CH. It has the S engine with 6 speed trans (transition model S).

 

Yep so true. I was surprised how tight it was in the back for it being so long. Reminded me of my BMW M850i convertible. It was so long yet so tight inside.
