The ST220 are a good motor, you get a lot of car for the money and are rare, there are more aston's on the road

A mate of mine has an 05 plate such a lovely car to drive very smooth he reckons it's not that bad on fuel suppose it depends on how you drive em.
Better off getting an 03 onwards as you get a revised dash sony stereo + much nicer 6 speed gearbox.

Ive had my 53 plate nearly four years. Bought it with 70k on it and now done 120k. Still runs really well. I get 24 mpg round the doors, about 30 on a run. Really nice to drive still and had no major problems.

Friend of mine has one and it's lovely. Driven it a couple of times and it's a lovely motor; smooth and comfortable, pokey and a great chassis. One of the best out there in that group IMO.

I've had mine for two and half years now, it's a great practical, everyday motor. Could do much worse than get one of these IMO.

Only those registered after 23rd March 2006, years tax on these is £425 , ones registered before that are in the £245 a year bracket.
