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. The cabin, whilst busy with controls, showcases genuine craftsmanship through quality leather and Alcantara trim. A strict two-seater configuration is offset by a usable boot and the availability of both coupe and roadster variants, with a V12 variant introduced in 2022 for enthusiasts seeking the ultimate experience.

Running costs are substantial, with real-world fuel economy closer to 22mpg than the claimed 27mpg, premium tyre costs, and insurance group 50 commanding top-rate premiums. Servicing budgets should account for approximately £1,000 annually post-warranty. Whilst the new Vantage sacrifices some of the old car's visceral appeal and naturally aspirated soundtrack for turbocharged efficiency and wider accessibility, it remains the most usable sports car Aston Martin has ever produced. The electrically assisted steering and eight-speed automatic transmission make it considerably more approachable than its predecessor, though purists may lament the loss of hydraulic feedback and raw engagement.

Best for: Affluent buyers seeking a usable, everyday supercar with genuine performance credentials, those preferring the practicality of an automatic gearbox, and collectors wanting both coupe and roadster options.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising fuel economy, drivers seeking the visceral engagement of naturally aspirated engines, or those uncomfortable with controversial styling.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Vantage if: You're an affluent buyer seeking a usable, everyday supercar with genuine performance credentials, prefer automatic transmission convenience, or want both coupe and roadster options.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise fuel economy, seek visceral naturally aspirated engine engagement, are uncomfortable with controversial styling, or require better value for money.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin Vantage (2018-present) occupies a unique position in the premium sports car market, offering unparalleled usability and a prestigious British marque. Whilst the Jaguar F-Type and Audi R8 offer better value propositions and the BMW 8 Series provides greater refinement, the Vantage's combination of everyday practicality, genuine performance, and iconic brand heritage make it the most accessible Aston Martin ever built. Its higher user rating reflects strong ownership satisfaction, though its premium pricing and running costs remain significant considerations for potential buyers.
