It was. A friend had the convertible version way back…He wasn’t a friend after that. I drove it and it was a truly terrible car.

Not for me at all. I find the Roma too thin, round and long. Similar to the Aston DB11.

Sounds like I am lucky there is a body of water between us.

Personally I'd take a Vanquish S over a DB11 any day of the week.
But you're right, used DB11s are plentiful.

Does that mean they are rubbish or just sold loads?

More the latter, I think. And they're not as loved as the better looking, better sounding NA Vanquish.

Living with the folding metal roof on the Cali and issues that causes with packing. At least with a ragtop going away into its separate compartment there is no change in boot space with roof up or down.
You also don't need the space behind to lower/raise the roof, it's not going to be affected by a faulty parking sensor either. A big improvement.

Although I like it Im not that keen. Prefer the coupe. Was hoping it would be a folding hardtop. Before I got my CaliT I was never bothered about open top but its such an enhanced driving experience with the roof down I think Id miss it now.
I know folding hardtops take space but something more simpe targa-esque, like the 488 spyder would have been better

Think this looks great. I wasn’t sure about the grille like others have mentioned but looks ok in the darker colours and nice to see a piece of design that doesn’t look like every other car (seems rare in modern car design). After years of always opting for convertibles I would now only go for coupes. Getting old obviously, but I’d rarely have the roof down and would want to avoid the additional weight, complexity and reliability downsides of a cab mechanism of any type, that I’d rarely see the benefit of.
