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 current Aston Martin Vantage, launched in 2018, marks a significant shift from its predecessor. It has evolved into a more refined and user-friendly sports car, making it a viable daily driver rather than just a weekend thrill. While it’s a strict two-seater, it boasts a practical boot, and the cabin showcases real craftsmanship, despite a somewhat busy dashboard layout. The focus has moved towards creating a better all-round car, one that is easier to live with but perhaps loses some of the raw, visceral engagement of the old model.

Performance is immense, thanks to a Mercedes-AMG sourced 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 503bhp, enabling a 0-62mph sprint in just 3.6 seconds. It’s objectively faster and more capable than the previous Vantage, available with a slick eight-speed automatic or a seven-speed manual. However, this power comes at a cost, with high purchase prices and steep running costs for fuel, insurance, and maintenance. Despite this, it remains a fantastically fast and usable sports car, balancing supercar performance with grand tourer comfort.

Best for: Buyers seeking an everyday supercar that blends huge performance with daily usability, brand prestige, and modern technology.

Not ideal for: Those on a budget, purists who prefer the more raw driving feel of the previous generation, or buyers who dislike its modern, aggressive styling.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Vantage if: You want a fantastically fast supercar that is comfortable and practical enough for daily driving, and you value the prestigious Aston Martin badge.

Consider alternatives if: You have a limited budget, you prefer the most thrilling and engaging driving experience possible, or you need more than two seats.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin Vantage (2018-present) successfully repositions itself as a more accessible and well-rounded supercar. It competes strongly against rivals by offering a compelling mix of breathtaking performance, daily usability, and luxury. While the Audi R8 may be a sharper track weapon and the Jaguar F-Type offers dramatic flair, the Vantage excels as a sophisticated all-rounder, appealing to a broader audience than its more demanding predecessor.
