Aston Martin V12 Vantage (2009-) Review

Category: Exotic Sports 4 out of 5

Summary of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage (2009-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Great performance, nimble handling, excellent brakes and superb looks.

Drawbacks

Standard equipment is less than comprehensive and fuel economy not terribly impressive.

Verdict

Shoehorning the V12 into the Vantage has created a superb driving machine, but's not cheap to run.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage Review

Comfort and Equipment3 out of 5

The cabin is beautifully tailored and finished to a very high quality, while the boot provides ample stowage for luggage for two.

Satellite navigation is standard. Be warned though, while the carbon fibre seats are excellent, offering lots of support, they are a £1,756 option. The premium 700W stereo system adds £973 and Piano Black facia trim another £484, all of which seems just a little naughty on a car costing £135,000, no matter how finely it drives.
