Used 2011 Aston Martin Vantage

"A unique experience with a few caveats"

"Have driven my 2014 manual 4.7 roadster 36K miles since purchase new from dealer stock. A beautiful car in the tradition of classic E-type Jaguar or 1960's Italian exotics. Performance is balanced, that is the speed, braking, steering, and suspension are very well matched. Quicker than a Countach and 289 Cobra, but easily bested by Nissan GTR. No one owns an Aston for the numbers.....countless unremarkable cars can be hopped up for 0-60 bragging rights. My experience has been that the Vantage is a special car from a build quality and drivability POV. Comfortable for highway miles and fun on back road curves. It's fairly straightforward mechanically for a modern car, and not intimidating to take a wrench to; just be very careful about the jacking points. Many consumables are available as non-Aston parts, e.g. cabin filter same as Mazda RX8. Buy a OBD scanner and have a good independent mechanic for anything too complex. Tremendous on-line ownership support from sixspeed and pistonheads. To be sure some things such as tail lights are very expensive, but overall these cars are not fragile and are meant to be driven and enjoyed!"

"Having owned 20+ sport vehicles, this, the Best."

"The Vantage V12 S Beautiful, elegant, naturally aspirated V12, hand made in the UK. Words cannot describe the feelings. The build quality and love that went into its design can be felt. Flawless."
