Aston Martin One-77
Aston Martin planned the One-77 to be its ultimate car, bespoke to each customer, with only 77 made and a price tag of more than £1million. Once they were all sold, there were to be no more produced and there were to be absolutely no press drives.
But getting hold of a customer car is a different story, and it’s thanks to the kindness of a very lucky One-77 owner that we’ve managed to take the wheel of the ultimate Aston creation.
As soon as we laid eyes on the One-77, we were blown away by its outlandishly curvaceous aluminium body. It’s recognisable as an Aston, but has beautiful details such as the aggressive creases on the doors, looping tail-lights and huge rear diffuser. Pull open the lightweight door and you’re presented with bare carbon-fibre on the sills, door panels, floor and even on the bulkhead behind the seats.
Almost every other surface is trimmed in leather, with black anodised aluminium and a glinting hoop of rose gold on the centre console completing this very special interior.

The insurance on it must be colossal, good that I have a more affordable car.

I prefer cars much safer than bikes.
I always perfer cars over bikes, as they are much safer!

Some short review about one of the best cars in the world...
Volkswagen Golf
Volkswagen fits all Golf models with more than 118bhp with a sophisticated multi-link rear axle to help improve handling – although in most situations the standard torsion beam set-up feels equally composed.
Eco-friendly BlueMotion models now drive in exactly the same manner as other versions. This is thanks largely to the adoption of a much more precise six-speed manual gearbox in place of the old five-speed unit (now fitted only to the 1.2 petrol). BlueMotion Golfs can also come with VW's six-speed DSG semi-automatic gearbox, which while good in other models, is geared to be as eco-friendly as possible, consequently the manual is nicer to use.
The excellent DSG gearbox has the option of steering wheel-mounted paddles. However, the seven-speed unit used on lower-powered models is smoother than the six-speed version that’s optional on 2.0-litre TDI and 2.0-litre petrol models.
If fun is top of your priority list, then opt for a GTD, GTI or R version. The GTD offers plenty of torque for effortless overtaking. Don't be fooled by the GTE though: despite the name, it's no hot hatch. It may be faster in a straight line than the GTD, but the added weight means it's not much fun in the corners.
True performance fans will be drawn to the flagship R model. Available as a hatchback or an estate, the Golf R gets 296bhp and four-wheel drive. It feels very sharp to drive and packs a tremendous amount of grip. It really is the ultimate Golf, and shames rivals costing £10,000 more.
However, for most keen drivers, the legendary Volkswagen Golf GTI delivers an ideal mix of performance, value and fun. Standard cars get 216bhp, but we’d recommend upgrading to the Performance Pack. This costs £995 extra and includes a 10bhp power boost, bigger front brakes and a clever electronically controlled front differential that boosts traction and reduces understeer.

I prefer bikes as it involves less footwork and also it is fun to go on a long bike ride compared to long car drive, it is just mi opinion.
i only have a car and i dont use any bikes
Bikes,no way.Car is the best for me.And of course comfortable.
2015 Volkswagen Passat
Pros
Above average passenger and cargo space; refined and quiet ride; fuel-efficient diesel engine; strong 1.8T and V6 engines; top safety scores.
Cons
Somewhat sluggish throttle response with DSG transmission; touchscreen electronics interface in SEL models is slow to respond; some of the latest safety features aren't available.
What's New for 2015
For 2015, the Volkswagen Passat TDI receives an updated engine that boasts 10 more horsepower and slightly better fuel efficiency than the previous one. Other changes are minor, consisting chiefly of minor equipment shuffling.

AMG series is one of the reasons why I love the Mercedes Benz so much!
Here is some short info about my favorite model 65:
The AMG power-plant has an all-new design of the bi-turbo system, which features larger turbochargers and a new, more powerful charge-air cooling system, and the increase in the engine displacement (to 5980 cc) as well as many other engine design measures.This allows it to produce a claimed 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque.
"65" models used a 5-speed automatic transmission for a long time, as the newer 7G-Tronic wasn't able to handle the torque from the V12 engines. This was changed with the introduction of 2012 SL65 AMG which uses the same AMG SpeedShift MCT transmission as the rest of the AMG line-up.
Coinciding with the facelift of the CL-Class for the 2011 model year, the 2011 CL65 AMG will have an enhanced engine, with AMG redesigning the exhaust gas turbochargers and adding new engine electronics. It will now make 621 horsepower, and go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds (0.2 seconds faster than the 2011 CL63), with an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. The update will also improve fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions by 3.5% over the outgoing model.

Cars ar boring, so I say bikes.
Bikes because I support environmental friendliness.
The last bike I had was a Triumph Trident T160. That was great, and I wish I had kept it. I've got a 1939 Francis Barnett that I take to shows. It's got girder forks! Most of the time I use a van now. It's more useful for the projects that I am starting.
bikes are better

Although bikes might be more cost-effective than cars, bike drivers face much greater dangers on the road.
A motorbike is obviously not going to offer the same kind of protection as you would get from a car, as you are not enclosed and, if thrown from the bike, could hit other objects or vehicles.
In a crash between a car and a motorcycle, the motorcyclist is 26 times more likely to be injured or killed compared to any of the occupants of the car.
Bikes are also less visible than cars and, because they have two wheels rather than four, they are less stable than cars. For example, if a type blew out on a car, you may be able to retain control of the vehicle thanks to the other three wheels, but if this happened on a motorbike, it is highly likely you would be thrown from the bike and suffer an injury.
