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) marks a new direction for the iconic sports car, prioritising daily usability over the raw, visceral thrill of its predecessor. Powered by a potent Mercedes-AMG 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, it delivers 503bhp, enabling the coupe to hit 62mph in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 195mph, making it a spectacularly powerful two-seater with a practical boot. While easier to live with than previous models, the Vantage remains an expensive car to own and run, with real-world fuel economy around 22mpg and high insurance and road tax costs. Despite these substantial running costs and a design that might be seen as controversial, it offers a compelling blend of Aston Martin prestige, modern performance, and enhanced daily drivability, making it a better all-round car for a wider audience.

Best for: Those seeking an everyday supercar, buyers prioritising outright performance and ease of use, and those who appreciate the choice of coupe and roadster models.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, purists who prefer the raw, visceral driving experience of older Aston Martins, or those sensitive to high running costs and a potentially controversial design.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Vantage if: You're looking for an everyday supercar, prioritise outright performance and ease of use, or appreciate the choice of coupe and roadster models.

Consider alternatives if: You are on a tight budget, prefer a more raw and visceral driving experience, or are concerned about very high running costs.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin Vantage (2018-present) stands as a highly usable and powerful luxury sports car, appealing to those who desire Aston Martin's prestige with modern daily drivability. While it offers immense performance and refined manners, it comes with a substantial price tag and high running costs, positioning it as a compelling, yet expensive, option against rivals.
