The Rapide S is surprisingly practical for daily driving, with four genuine seats and adequate boot space for a grand tourer. Regular servicing at Aston Martin specialists is essential, but the V12 engine is robust when properly maintained. Running costs are higher than conventional cars, but reasonable considering the performance and exclusivity offered.
Annual running costs typically include £2,000-3,000 for servicing, £1,500-2,500 for insurance, and fuel consumption averaging 15-20mpg in mixed driving. Factor in potential repairs and the importance of maintaining complete service history for resale value. Our finance specialists can help structure payments to accommodate these ownership costs.

The Rapide S offers four doors and more practical space, while the DB11 provides newer technology and slightly more modern styling. The Rapide S features the glorious naturally aspirated V12, whereas newer DB11s use twin-turbo V8 or V12 engines. Both represent excellent Aston Martin ownership experiences with different strengths.
PCP agreements often suit Rapide S buyers who want lower monthly payments and flexibility to upgrade to newer models. HP works well if you plan long-term ownership and want to build equity. Consider balloon payment PCP deals if you prefer changing cars every few years, or traditional HP for straightforward ownership.
