If I were looking to buy one of these cars with my own money it would be the Aston Martin hands down. Even the Porsche was insanely better than the Gallardo.
Odd you found it to be tight. I'm 6' and about 185 and don't have any problems at all fitting in my Gallardo. I finally sold my Porsche Turbo and kept the Carrera and the Gallardo because the G handles so much better than the Porsche Turbo did. If you are a very skilled driver you can get a Porsche GT2 or 3 around a track faster than a Gallardo. I have run with more than one 911 turbo and they couldn't stay with me on the twistys. The awd system in the G makes an average driver a whole lot better.

I will agree that the Gallardo is NOT a car I would drive cross country. It's about a 3 hour car and I'm ready to get out and stretch.
