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 a coupe and convertible, the Vantage offers a strict two-seater layout with a usable boot and improved practicality through its electrically assisted steering, automatic transmission option, and refined interior craftsmanship.

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 genuine usability as an everyday supercar. The introduction of a V12 variant in 2022 provides an alternative for those seeking the traditional Aston Martin experience, with 690bhp and 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds. Running costs are substantial, with real-world fuel economy around 22mpg, expensive tyre replacements, and insurance group 50 premiums. However, the five-year service plan helps manage initial maintenance costs, making this the most accessible Aston Martin sports car ever built.

Best for: Buyers seeking a practical, everyday supercar with genuine performance and usability, those wanting a choice between coupe and roadster variants, and enthusiasts prioritising modern technology and comfort over raw driving engagement.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those seeking the visceral thrills of naturally aspirated engines, or drivers concerned about fuel economy and running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Vantage if: You seek a practical, everyday supercar with genuine performance, want a choice between coupe and roadster variants, or prioritise modern technology and comfort over raw driving engagement.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious, seeking visceral naturally aspirated engines, or concerned about fuel economy and substantial running costs.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin Vantage (2018-present) holds its own against formidable rivals in the premium sports car segment. Whilst the Audi R8 offers superior expert ratings and the BMW M8 provides better value deals, the Vantage excels in user satisfaction and everyday usability. It delivers genuine performance and practicality that rivals struggle to match, making it the most accessible Aston Martin sports car ever built. For those willing to invest in a distinctive, capable supercar with British heritage and modern refinement, the Vantage represents an excellent choice.
