Hey guys, I know its a great problem to have, but I cannot seem to make a choice between a used 2009/2010 Vantage or 2008/2009 Audi R8 as a daily driver for a second car( my weekend car is a 2008 Gallardo that I got a great deal on in early 2009 when everyone thought the world was ending).
I am pretty set on specifics. I want the sportshift (rtonic on the r8)option on either car, and my color choice is of the silver family. Being that its my daily driver, I need to make sure i can put about 12k miles a year, and I would like to have a warranty for another 2 years.
The one drawback to the R8 I found is the luggage storage. It wil not fit a standard overnight bag. However, the warranty on the R8 is a 4yr. In most of the 2009 Vantage's I have found there is only 1 yr left and the extended is rather expensive.
I am also having trouble finding decent priced Vantage's with the specifics I am looking for. If anyone can offer assistance(i have pretty much scoured autotrader and ebay). I would happily pay a referral fee. So thanks again and any other commentary to help my decision would be greatly appreciated.

 

id get the r8 imo it is sportier, more exclusive and will hold value better. Its also an audi so its gonna be reliable and easy to service.

 

You can’t go wrong with either one, they are a work of art in their own way. Classic aston beauty vs Audi aggressive. But I find the r8 is a lot more comfortable.

 

i would get the R8.

it's much more exclusive and exotic!

 

Since you already have a Gallardo, a Vantage would complement it better than getting an R8. If you didn't have the Gallardo, I would say R8.

 

I read this, and then I had to read it again... The logic is so simple, yet flawless.
