Aston Martin Vantage (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Easy to live with – an everyday supercar	Hugely expensive to buy and run
The 503bhp twin-turbo V8 is mighty	Not quite as thrilling as its predecessor
Choice of coupe and roadster models	Controversial looks

Quick Summary

The Aston Martin Vantage (2018-present) represents a significant departure from its predecessor, prioritising everyday usability over raw driving engagement. This modern iteration features a Mercedes-AMG sourced 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 503bhp and 505lb ft of torque, delivering impressive performance with 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds for the coupe and 3.7 seconds for the roadster. Available as both coupe and roadster, the Vantage offers a strict two-seater layout with a usable boot and improved interior craftsmanship, though the dashboard design is notably busy with scattered controls.

Whilst the new Vantage sacrifices some of the visceral thrills of its predecessor, it compensates with superior all-round capability, easier daily driving characteristics, and the option of an excellent eight-speed automatic gearbox. Running costs are substantial, with real-world fuel economy around 22mpg and insurance group 50 commanding premium rates. A V12 variant was introduced in 2022, producing 690bhp and achieving 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds. For those seeking a more practical alternative with additional seating, the DB11 offers a compelling proposition at a lower price point.

Best for: Buyers seeking a usable, everyday supercar with impressive performance and modern technology, and those wanting the prestige of an Aston Martin with improved practicality.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising raw driving engagement over comfort, or drivers seeking maximum fuel efficiency and low running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Vantage if: You seek a usable, everyday supercar with impressive performance and modern technology, and desire the prestige of an Aston Martin with improved practicality.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise raw driving engagement over comfort, require maximum fuel efficiency and low running costs, or are budget-conscious.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin Vantage (2018-present) stands as a compelling choice in the premium sports car segment, offering exceptional user satisfaction with a 5.0 out of 5 rating. Whilst the BMW M8 and Jaguar F-Type present stronger value propositions with higher percentages of good and great deals, the Vantage distinguishes itself through superior everyday usability and the prestige of the Aston Martin badge. The Audi R8, despite its five-star expert rating, lags in user satisfaction and value. The Vantage represents the most accessible entry point into Aston Martin ownership, combining modern turbocharged performance with genuine practicality, though prospective buyers must accept substantial running costs and controversial styling as trade-offs for this distinctive British sports car.
