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 engine 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 electrically assisted steering that makes it more approachable than its predecessor, though less visceral.

Whilst the new Vantage sacrifices some of the old car's soul for modern technology and improved practicality, it remains the most usable sports car Aston Martin has ever built. The eight-speed automatic transmission is superior to the seven-speed manual, and a V12 variant was introduced in 2022 for those seeking ultimate performance. Running costs are substantial, with real-world fuel economy around 22mpg and insurance group 50 commanding premium rates. A five-year service plan helps manage initial maintenance costs, though budget £1,000 annually thereafter. The busy interior design and controversial exterior styling may divide opinion, but the Vantage's combination of speed, usability, and everyday practicality makes it a compelling proposition for supercar buyers.

Best for: Affluent buyers seeking a practical, everyday supercar with genuine performance and usability, and those wanting a choice between coupe and roadster body styles.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising classic Aston Martin driving engagement, or those seeking a more conventionally beautiful design.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Vantage if: You're an affluent buyer seeking a practical, everyday supercar with genuine performance and usability, or wanting a choice between coupe and roadster body styles.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise classic Aston Martin driving engagement, seek a more conventionally beautiful design, or have budget constraints.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin Vantage (2018-present) stands as a compelling choice in the luxury sports car segment, offering exceptional user satisfaction with a 5.0 out of 5 rating. Whilst it trails the Jaguar F-Type and BMW 8 Series on value deals, it matches the Audi R8 for user approval. The Vantage's strength lies in its everyday practicality combined with supercar performance, making it the most usable Aston Martin ever built. However, potential buyers should note that running costs are substantial, and the controversial styling may not appeal to all. For those prioritising usability and modern technology over raw driving engagement, the Vantage represents an excellent choice amongst its rivals.
