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 503bhp twin-turbo V8 engine sourced from Mercedes-AMG, delivering impressive performance with 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds for the coupe and 3.7 seconds for the roadster. The car offers a choice of seven-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmissions, with the latter providing superior acceleration figures. A limited-edition V12 variant was introduced in 2022, producing 690bhp and achieving 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds. The Vantage is a strict two-seater with a usable boot, making it the most practical sports car Aston Martin has ever produced.

Whilst the new Vantage is objectively faster and more fuel-efficient than the previous model, it sacrifices some of the old car's visceral appeal. The electrically assisted steering and turbocharged powertrain lack the communicative feel of its naturally aspirated predecessor, though the car remains fantastically quick and excellent to drive. Running costs are substantial, with real-world fuel economy around 22mpg and insurance in group 50. The five-year service plan helps manage initial maintenance costs, but budget at least £1,000 annually thereafter. Available in both coupe and roadster configurations, the Vantage appeals to buyers seeking a usable, high-performance sports car with genuine everyday practicality.

Best for: Buyers seeking a usable, high-performance sports car with everyday practicality, those wanting a choice of coupe or roadster models, and enthusiasts who value the Aston Martin brand and heritage.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those seeking lower running costs, drivers prioritising the visceral engagement of naturally aspirated engines, or those who dislike the car's contemporary styling.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Vantage if: You seek a usable, high-performance sports car with everyday practicality, desire a choice of coupe or roadster models, or value the Aston Martin brand and heritage.

Consider alternatives if: You are budget-conscious, prioritise lower running costs, seek visceral engagement from naturally aspirated engines, or dislike contemporary styling.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin Vantage (2018-present) is a compelling choice in the premium sports car segment, offering genuine everyday usability alongside impressive performance. Whilst rivals like the Audi R8 and Jaguar F-Type provide alternative options, the Vantage distinguishes itself through its practical design and choice of body styles. The BMW 8 Series offers comparable performance and slightly better value, but the Vantage's focused sports car credentials and Aston Martin heritage appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive, usable supercar. Its high user rating reflects strong owner satisfaction, though premium running costs remain a significant consideration.
