Price Range: £166,872 to £175,681

Sounds magnificent, goes like it sounds, corners with verve, looks menacing, beautifully made.

Verdict

Britain's answer to the Ferrari 599.

Aston Martin DBS Review

Used Value4 out of 5

Some analysts reckon that 'mainstream' Aston Martins are becoming too numerous, which is starting to damage residual values. Such a fate is unlikely to befall the DBS, though, which will be sold in lower numbers. Today's Aston Martins are robust and mainly reliable, so people should be able to buy used ones with confidence. And the DBS is special enough to ensure that plenty of people will lust after one. The Bond connection helps, too.
