Hello to all!
I thought I would write an almost three year in user report on my series 4 Aero 8.When I first bought this car new with 75 miles
on the odometer I would have doubted that the aero would be the lone survivor in my garage in late 2010.All the cars I had at the purchase of the aero have been replaced with different models.
The Aero now has 6800 miles on it, two longer type trips,and
many shorter type weekend runs.The Aero has never broke down
not started or had any mechanical difficulty at all.The much
maligned tire pressure gauge has actually saved me twice, once
with a nail in the tire, the other time with a bent rim leaking air, so I actually think that the pressure gauge proved quite useful and worked as intended.
Oil consumption has been where it should be, no burning of oil... and after three changes of oil that trend continues.
Other than changing coolant I have done nothing else mechanically although on really cold(winter) nights I do keep
a tickler on the banner battery so the Aero will crank.
Build quality has been sound, driver door hinge needs a minor
adjustment as it can open into bonnet and leave marks in paint
but this is primarily caused by opening door just to far...
I would also say the quality of the leather interior is superior to some other upscale brands I have owned.
Tire wear has been great for a car of low weight high horsepower and tires look hardly worn as we approach 7000
miles.Ride quality consistent with new and no squeaks/rattles
have appeared over time.
I have almost parted with the Aero twice, once when a Ford Gt
caught my fancy/eye the other when a Ferrari California was traded at my preferred Porsche dealer but after driving both
decided to keep the Aero.If the right Ford gt came by I might
be tempted but usually after an Aero drive the urge leaves, I
wash and clean the Aero up, cover her and think about my next
drive with the Aero.
For those of us in the know the Aero 8 regardless of series or top configuration is special, very unique, and somewhat addicting. The one thing when I purchased the Aero I would not have guessed is its dependable for an exotic that has quirks that you grow in most cases to enjoy.
