While age normally matters when buying a car, for this comparison I don't think it should be a deciding factor in which car you choose. While the Aston look's more "sporty" I wouldn't exactly say it looks younger as both cars are essentially old people cars, most Bentley and Aston drivers already have one foot in the grave.

In addition since the Aston looks more sporty than the Bentley I would think more people would feel the need to race you. You'll be having M3, WRX owners, or guys with that tuned and riced out Honda with Vtec stickers coating the car (the stickers add 100 HP each) thinking that just because they beat you in a drag race that their car is better. While I'm sure the Aston handles like a dream and car's aren't only about 0-60 times doesn't the car run in the high 4s or low 5s with the Bentley being in the mid to low 4s (different reviews give conflicting numbers).

In the end it's still your decision Colton and both cars are fantastic vehicles with very few people ever owning them, you will be happy regardless of which car you decide to get. In addition while unlikely I hope that in 9 years when I turn 29 that I can afford cars of this caliber.

Put the wife and kids in the back? Who's in front?

Poser alert. I don't trust anyone who claims tomspend that kind of money who looks to for the opinion of anyone else let alone a bunch of folks who mostly consider an X3 a big purchase.

He removed his pic from that site and updated age within 24 hrs after I asked if it was him in earlier post.

The internet never forgets.

I wonder if Colton Mattias is his real name since Mattias is a Caucasian name and he looks, well Asian...although I guess his father could be white and his mother is Asian.

Not trying to defend the guy but you'd be surprised how much money some people have even if they don't flash it around. I have family friends and business associates of my parents who you would not know they had the kind of money that they do. For example a close friend of my parents is the CEO of a major airline, which I'm sure some of you guys have ridden on, he has multi-million dollar homes and flies on private jets yet the guy drives a old Toyota Camry and dresses very modestly. His company also provides homes for employees to live in and pays for various expenses such as cellphone bills and utilities. However he has one major rule for all employees and that is to limit their contact with people outside of the company and does not like people to reveal their job title or the hierarchy of the company.

I also have many stories similar to the one mentioned and if Coltan happens to be Asian, specifically Chinese which isn't surprising since there's a huge Chinese population in Canada I could understand where he's coming from. In Chinese culture most people don't like others to know how much money they have and while they still buy nice things if they can afford it most of them won't go around flashing it.

Singe his eyebrows off for fraud! That way he might look like the Bentley, prompting him to buy it with his bountiful piggy bank. lol:

I'm thinking of getting myself another island. Would you recommend Atlantic or Indian Ocean?

If that is indeed his name and picture, he is all over the internet with his resume which has his email and home address! If that is indeed you, take it off if I were you! Look, when I was young I also day dreamed about owning nice cars that I now buy, so I don't have a big issue with you.

Can the real Colton Matthias please STAND UP!

Give the guy the benefit of the doubt. He may be the real deal.

That's what I say, innocent until proven guilty....although I'm not sure how many Colton Matthias there are in Ontario.

With that said here's a link to the resume and contact info.

http://coltonmatthias.weebly.com/index.html

Seems kinda young to have kids and that much money by the time you're 21.

Even though the guy is lying I have nothing against him nor would I get heated and end up posting this in retaliation. The reason why I'm posting this is because there are many trolls on the internet and this is one of the very few times any of us normal individuals who come on to forums to learn more information and help out others can expose fakers and perhaps cut down on people trolling in the future.

PS: the email says Colton Leung, perhaps that's his real name?

he says he's 29 on page 1 of this thread so this either isn't him or he made a mistake on that post.

PML.

Bit of a cheer up from watching all the scum rob shops on the UK news (although the snob in me sneers at the stores they've been targetting - JJB and Primark?!?)
