What does it cost?
For The Aston Martin Vantage looks great and handles even better, while the sounds from the V8 and V12 engines will stir your soul.
Against The Vantage is a physical thing to drive, with firm heavy controls. It's hard to see out of the low-slung V8 at angled junctions.
What Car? says
This stunning, superb-handling Aston Martin Vantage is a genuine alternative to the Porsche 911.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
At last, an Aston Martin that is almost affordable for the masses yet retains all of the hand-made charm that has characterised the British firm's best work.
The Aston Martin Vantage may share much of the style of its more expensive brethren, but it has lower maintenance bills, although you'll still have to fork out plenty at the fuel station.
However, the Vantage rewards in other ways, such as its sublime handling, amazing acceleration and noise from either of its engines and surprisingly good refinement that makes it a serious everyday proposition. A 300-litre boot for the coupe model means it can carry a set of gold clubs, though space is tighter in the open-top Roadster.
Aston hasn't skimped on the equipment list, either, and the Vantage comes with all of the goodies you'd expect of a car of this class, calibre and cost. A pity, then, that Aston doesn't include curtain airbags.
