  Pros: Sound of the engine

  Cons: Reliability

  Advice: Buy a Porsche or Ferrari

The sound of the car is mesmerizing. Save yourself the heartache and buy yourself a Porsche. My Porsche starts, drives and is fun. My Vanquish looks great in the garage but I am always concerned that it is going to break down. Choose carefully
