I love it...no car really compares to it (both a compliment and a little bit of a complaint). I think your questions centers on what you want- the AERO will definitely be more comfortable versus the Viggen's firmer suspension. Viggen is a bit more purist than the AERO, and that has good and bad. The shifter is a little mushy compared to other sports cars, but I still wouldn't trade it for an automatic on the open road...now around town is a different story.
