What Car? says
For The Vantage offers strong performance, superb handling and stunning looks to match
Against It's immensely thirsty, there are no curtain airbags and side visibility is poor
Verdict
The Vantage is almost as good to drive as the Porsche 911, but far more exclusive
Go for… 4.3 V8
Avoid… Not applicable
- 1. Be sure you can live with the poor vision to the side
- 2. Interior build quality is the best on any Aston, so you shouldn't experience any problems
- 3. Practicality is reasonable with space for two golf bags in the boot
- 4. Cars built between October 2005 and May 2006 were recalled because of a starting problem
- 5. Check the six-speed manual gearbox works perfectly - and the clutch, too
