Love it! What years were the R35's?

If you need to finance that car you are back to getting your own ketchup and milk.

Well, one of my friend's parents has a Cayman S and I've only driven a GT4 once and it wasn't for more than 15m.

That said, it's actually got noticeably harder pull when you really get on it and that's without sacrificing any of the effortless feel of the car.

Overall, IMO Caymans are the greatest driver's car currently in production. period.

Give me any of the trims and I'd be a happy camper

I would definitely take any Aston after they stopped trying to be Jaguar (or vice versa). Hell, any before that too, and if I'm being honest. I'd buy an Aston nameplate from Ebay just to have.

Aston's are glorious machines!

2017 just had a facelift with some minor engine changes. I think there was very slight facelift around 2012 or 2013, I think they also made some small changes to the transmission or transmission logic to adjust early shifting issues. I used to research the crap out of the r35s until their price started ballooning and I gave up on actually saving for one.

I just looked them up on cars.com and the only one around me below 80k is a 2010 one

EDIT: Wikipedia to the rescue, 2011 was the very slight facelift with some engine changes.
