Aston Martin Rapide Reviews

Pictures of the Rapide have been around for so long that at times its easy to forget that no one outside of Aston Martin has ever driven one – until this week.  At long last, the Rapide has been released to the press… and I’m pleased to hear that the consensus appears to be that it was worth the wait.  It might still not be limo-roomy but the two rear seats are useable and, most importantly, dynamically its reported to be brilliant.  Plus it’s a hatch back, eliminating the problem of the useless boot on the DB9/S.  The ideal family transport… Maybe – it scores 4.5/5 in Evo magazine to beat Quatroporte, Flying Spur and Panamera.  Here are some of the best reviews:

• Evo Magazine
• Car Magazine
• Autocar Magazine
• Auto Express
• Classic Driver
• Telegraph 
• Times
• Pistonheads

… and some great video reviews:

… as well as some nice ‘B-roll’ footage from the launch in Valencia:
