If your not driving a lot of miles I would go see if Maserati is still leasing GTs for decent prices. They were in the $1200-$1500/month range with 12-15k miles when I was looking for one. Astons lease like shit tho lol
On my Jaguar XK forum, a few members were shopping the same and went for the XKRS over the Vantage or older F430 so there is no absolute answer. I'd like to wash each car before I buy one and see which one is going to suck more of time than the other. I sold my VDP because it was too much car to wash and park. The next owner now wants to sell as its too big to park, lol!

DD and english cars, hmm.
But no question if I could afford all of those cars, I'd take the Aston for really no objective reason. It's an Aston.

Outright answer, the Aston.
I want to say the Lotus, in the daily driver sense, but you don't get the same Lotus feel as you would from an Elise/Exige. Lastly, pick the Aston. The Jaguar(s) seem to be overpriced for what they are.

I am not into Merecedes that much and I will buy a used car, no matter which model I end up.

I'm an idiot because I completely missed out on the part where you said "used with 20k" -.- My mistake.
Is there any reason the Evora is up there? It's definitely out of it's league against those other vehicles on your list. I'd assume it's the cheapest option? Also, do Astons have good or bad resale value? I browse eBay every so often and you can get the older v8 Vantages for about half their original value, even with low mileage. The Jag looks awesome in black or white.
But as a DD the Vantage will win over the others. Weekend car would be the F-Type or Evora, but if it was a weekend car I'm sure most of this list would be different. But then again I feel like the 1M would be a better DD over the Evora.
If you do get the F-Type can I drive behind you for the rest of my life? The rear end on that car...

No 911?
I considered and drove the Evora and an '06 Vantage before driving a 997S and forgetting about the others. 911s might be "too obvious", but it's for a reason.
The Vantage looks amazing, but the interior is pretty dated at this point, and it basically offers M3 performance.

I'd be downright terrified for my bank account to own any of these cars... but I were to buy one of these expensive toys, it would have to be the Aston Martin Vantage.

Your right about the Vantage though. I am happy as long as I have NAV, Sat radio, and Bluetooth. Who needs power seats? Heated wheel and seats would be a big loss if I couldn't get them, but not a deal breaker necessarily. One of the reasons I pretty much crossed any front engine Ferrari I could afford of the list.
