Built for California, but great all the same.
Clearly behind today's tech as it is 11 years old. However, not that far behind with features ahead of its time. Be at fun with the roof down as the diffuser, heating and heated seats all work well. Good driving position, although not as sure footedas todays vehicles. More fun than my Mercedes SL and better equipped and more reliable than my 15 plate DB9. A good all around GT, but definitely not a true sports car. Still, at an average 31 mpg I'm delighted both with the car and that with only 31k miles on the clock it seems to be going up in value!
