Bentley Continental GT is great as a daily!

The Bentley might not be a true "sports" car, as it's more of a two door saloon. The Aston Martins are very emotional cars, but their interiors are all made of real glass and real metal. The aluminum trimmings in the car GET SCALDING HOT in the summer time. I couldn't drive the borrowed company car for literally 10 minutes while I waited for it to cool down!
The Lamborghini Huracan is fantastic in every way (it's even comfortable) except while changing lanes the blind spots are a huge disability. You actually have to slow down and speed up just to see if something appears in your side mirrors (even harder to tell when driving at night). If the pickup truck in front of the Lamborghini all of a sudden dumped its contents on the road, all you could do is slam on the brakes as you won't be able to change lanes. The headroom is the lowest, the blindspot the worse, and trunk size is the smallest in its class when compared to the McLaren and Ferrari equivalents. But, it is by far the most reliable, lowest cost (satisfies your accountant wife), and easy to drive (and it'd be the fastest for a non-professional experienced performance driver).
I should mention, my leased BMW has a very firm ride (it's really the fault of the run flat tires, it'd be so much better with non run flats), my AMG has a somewhat firm ride and it's not quiet enough, and my Tesla is noisier than the Lamborghini at highway cruise speed (Tesla has massive wind and tire noises). I miss my old BMW, a 2004 545i, that car was smooth and quiet; just not very reliable (don't ever buy a V8 BMW as they're small volume production means less shared parts with high volume engines and that means lower reliability and lower R&D budgets, go for their mass-produced in-line engines). As you said previously Ted, and you said it very well... First world problems.
