Aventador...anyone owned one?

Well the aventador looks awesome,but if you try an F12 back to back the decisión would be easy

ps:I just have driven it couple times,I have not owned one.

 

Its interesting that depends of where are you located prices on different models could change a lot.
Here a brand new 458 Spider its around 330k and an Aventador is around 550k.
If I could get an Aventador for your local price I will get it.
Good luck!

 

'12s have stiffer suspension and no start/stop.
'13+ are softer/better GT cars.

 

Own an Aventador Roadster….what a car…absolutely incredible, I prefer it over the F12….I don't track and prefer the looks and the raw delivery of the power. Its also more extreme in design.

Then again, its a completely different driving experience than the F12 or the 458. Don't decide on the drive and the technical details…decide on which one puts the larges smile on your face when you drive it, the one that makes you walk back to it when you park it.

Keep us posted!!!

Enjoy!

How long will the clutch last under non-track driving? I heard the maintenance is crazy expensive. Tie rod also needs frequent change?

 

The car is not that expensive to maintain…no clutch issues what so ever.

If your gonna pay a over 300k for a car, a few grand for service is normal.

Here in Chile there is one fitted with Factory race exhaust, you should at least considere it

I just sold my 2012 Aventador and I had zero issues for the 12 months I owned it.
IMO the Aventador is one of the best looking cars on the road and it's a "event " every time you drive it.
The power of the car is absolutely intoxicating and the handling with the Awd plants the car on the road . I felt the ride was a little better than my 458 spider but the transmission with the single clutch still lacks the smoothness of the 458. The other big downside of the Lambo is the size of the car & you need to drive it in manual transmission for the smoothest ride.
I sold my Aventador 1 month ago because my Speciale will be here soon.
Both are Amazing cars and I say if you have the itch scratch it!
Best of Luck .

My friend has one and we cruise often. Event wise it is levels above the Fcars, people don't even notice the F12 beside it. It's wide, loud, meter long flames out of the exhaust stock(EU).

The ride quality is very dependent on conditions, it's a very stiff car so you need good roads to properly enjoy it. My friend put 10,000km on it in about 8 months, only issue was rear brake lights some LEDs burned out.

 

Check out the anniversary body kits, that make the car looks more beautiful, especially the rear end. I think the price is about $25,000.

 

I prefer the understated but I'm about to put a down on a Huayra. Funny enough I don't see them but rarely in California. Waiting for Pebble and Quail to talk to some owner's. Grateful that I waited to make the down happen. When I first inquired the Euro was at $1.20 but today it's at $1.11! Don't know why they make you pay for the car in Euro's? Does the money go directly to Pagani and skip's the dealer?

 

My Aventador is my third Lambo and it has been perfect. I bought it new. t is not really a sports car put a very high speed cruiser. It drives well but the 458 is a better drivers car.

My 458 is my third Ferrari. The 458 is also very reliable. In my view it is not as exciting to drive as my 360 or 430 were. I also miss the manual. The dual cltuch is a fast and smooth shifter. I nice piece of engineering.

To be honest my 2014 Corvette drives better and the new Z/28 better yet. The only car I own that may be better is the Audi R8 V10 or the M3.

Good luck
whatever you buy.

Totally agree with you Lee. Since the F430 there has been a slow and constant move to make exotics easier to drive a low speeds, more comfortable and luxurious, and -- to be honest -- just not as exciting aside from the crazy speeds they can attain.

 

Best of luck, I love V12s and the Aventador gets my thumbs up for sure!

 

I've driven both. Very hard decision. The 458 was so easy to keep and remain civil in situations that required civility. But when a quick right turn took me down a beckoning, lonely, twisty, smooth, perfectly-cambered road, I was greeted by ferocity and a wide-eyed white-knuckled "holy ****" experience. And that wasn't even sport mode.

The Aventador was an intensity on a level I'd never experienced. The AWD was like a permission slip to push through curves and rocket out of apexes. The first time I ever drove a 360, I couldn't stop laughing, because I just couldn't believe it was so much fun. With the Aventador, there was no time for laughter; only focus. The 458 was loaned to me for a few hours, but the Aventador was loaned to me for a week. With the Aventador, I hated going to bed. I drove it all day, everyday, and when it was time to go to sleep, I didn't want to go, and then I couldn't wait to wake up.

Both cars promise an immense thrill, so it's not like you can make a bad or wrong decision. It's merely a matter of which experience best fits you and what you like. If you can drive both, that would really be the best way to help you make your choice. Good luck - but you're guaranteed never to be bored with whatever you decide.

 

I'd go for the orange (Arancio Argos) one. It's just stunning.

 

Good luck on your search that's one of the most fun parts!

 

hey, just some more feedback. I have a 2014 Aventador Roadster and an FF.

The Aventador is 100% a circus every time you take it out. In terms of a fun car to drive, I have to say it's not the best. My FF has a better transmission, smoother ride, etc. I used to have a 12c and that car is way better in terms of a fun nimble car.

the Aventador is as wide as a range rover and it's impossible to see out of the back.

That being said, I love it. It's so ridiculous. I have a full DMC kit one mine too
