This will be my car to replace my M3, mine is December build which has building allocation slot number 008 so mine will be one of the first about hopefully! Ordered with:

Unbelievable car, however the fact that it literally broke down once every month and had to be transported back to Stratstones (awful dealerships) where they kept it for a week at a time did take the ...
4WD, turbo charged, enough torque to pull a tree down (I know cos I've done that), and yes, it is sort of an Aston - lookup David Brown on wikipedia :-)
1958 Aston Martin DB 2-4 Mark III (known simply as the DB Mark III) was the last of the Feltham Astons before construction moved to Newport Pagnell. The DB Mark III with it's 3ltr twin OHC straight si...
Bought as a project in one piece with no MoT and sold in a zillion pieces ten years later for five times as much. A divorce got in the way, if you're wondering.
Live the dream. Drive like Connery. Just dont expect it to handle like anything modern.
And dont expect decent braking either !
Great car none the less.
THE JOURNEY OF RESTORATION...My advice if your gonna buy one be prepared for the worst. Buy cheap and invest in good restoration, the mid way good looking cars are wolves in sheeps clothing. I am up ...
I want another one, please. No other car - not even my present one - has grabbed more attention - I was even hauled out of a posh restaurant in France to dispel the crowd that gathered around it.
It has very special history for me and Mrs Pits. Great fun to drive, a proper 2+2 unlike many modern cars, and still takes the breath away every time I look at it.
Alas mind-boggling restoration co...
What a great car! I bought the 3.2 model because i prefer the lines of the body, and when that supercharger whine kicks in, so addictive! It had it's problems, such as air con & suspension, but that w...
A joy to drive. Everyone smiles and lets you out at junctions (stark contrast to the Boxster). Sold it to a colleague as it was a lot of money sitting on the driveway only being driven every weekend o...
This car was purchased as a Cat C.
It is going to be used for trackdays.
No mechanical or chassis damage.
The price of parts is such that body damage is terminal for the car.

Good car, great feeling but under it all you knew it was just a rehashed Jag. Fell to peices around me on longer journeys. A big mistake but now make a very solid used buy
Totally elegant, the purest for of DB7 which marked the renaissance of Aston Martin. It is happy going to the shops or for a blast up the A roads. Grip is good and she's nicely balanced - just remembe...
Respectable grunt in a straight line but I'm having trouble with corners at the moment. Tracking, caster, camber & tyres will sort it I hope.
NOW SORTED~but Osselli disappointingly sent it back with ...
My first Aston and definitely not my last! She may be expensive to run and maintain, but when she drops two gears and that V12 raors, it's worth every penny!
Beautiful car, easy to drive, doesn't feel like it wants to race when you're driving slowly around town, but in full welly mode it goes!!!
Feels a bit too hand-made and fragile though. Dying to tr...
Fantastic Luxury sports, Makes you feel like a Sir or a Lord.
A little to slow for my liking especially after driving my Ferrari and Porche 993 Turbo, But then what do you expect it was never built f...
Superb car, reasonable running costs compared to V12. Has sports exhaust and manual gearbox, so a proper sports car to drive. This car is for sale. Full AM History and 69300 miles two owners. This car...
Absolutely beautiful car that I was afraid to drive anywhere.
Let me down 3 times on long journeys (alarm fault)
Ford switch gear unreliable.
Still proud to have owned but slower than the Audi S4 &...
my first Aston.....great to look at but awfull gear box.....very dated interior and mostly from the ford parts bin.....still it was an Aston and I made a £500 profit on it
Huge spec car with sports exhaust, AM 19" wheels and everything else. Sounds wonderful, goes like hell and is vastly superior to the 4.2 XKR is replaced.
My dad bought this new from Aston Martin. I bought it off him when he attempted to trade it in for a Mercedes 350 SL! Fantastic car, v low mileage and so easy to drive. Has been described by Aston M...
What a thrill! Fabulous acceleration and grips the road like it is glued down. Looks best with the hood down and the tonneau on although the tonneau is a bit fiddly to get on. Surprisingly we can a...
The best DB7. The engine, brakes and some suspension componentry of the DB9 (meaning 450BHP, NOT 435BHP...) So much faster and 'set' on the road than the Vantage.
Bought to collect, HUGE provenance...
Ive just had a Larini exhaust fitted, I am really happy with the amazing sound and the increased performance, it adds a new dimension to driving my car again!
A beautiful car, wonderful noise, immense power that adapts well to cruising and hard driving

+fantastic looking car
-everything else
why does the motoring press not tell the truth about astons!
its a shame but they are badly made not that quick and very unreliable
A total disgrace, gorgeous to look at but its best just looked at. In the 18 month I woned the car it spent 9 months with the dealer. Later resulted in me taking the dealer to court and winning over £...

Hmmm.....
I liked the Aston. Sounded better than it was, but that's not a bad thing. Traction control was always over 2 seconds late to help you, but I dislike driver aids, so always a fun car to d...
I had the first version of the DB9 and there was something wrong with the engine management software. When you put your foot down there was a lag and then the car shot off unexpectedly - quite frankl...
A 2005 model. I simply love it! Bought it in May 2006. Sporting full polished HRE 847Rs in the picture. Just got it repainted to brush alluminium center with polished lip.
Highly modifed by DMS, Chiltern and Nicholas Mee.
Re-map, race cats, SuperSports exhaust. H&R springs, spacers, full geo, SPorts Pack wheels and Ti nuts. Seriously quick DB9!
Purchased as a retirement toy for Dad, he's certainly been enjoying the car over the summer.
I've been greatful for the opportunity to drive it for a week (racking up about 900 miles in that time) ;)...
I'm really really enjoying this car. Had it about 2 months, fuse 22 pulled but a Tubi is almost certainly going to be fitted soon! Very easy to drive but when you put your foot down it takes off like....
The slow Aston as it was auto , just had to have one . Owned it for 18 months then had 10 secs of lustful pleasure with ex wife . She got pregnant , car got sold !!
its like owning a piece of art , fantastic pedigree,so much history and tecnology all rolled into a machine thats will make you feel at home on a track day,driving through tuscanny or pulling into a 1...

I've wanted one of these for ages but everybodys advice was "don't". They may well be proved right but so far I haven't stopped grinning. The MPG mans the car probably merits a Kyoto treaty all of its...
Great car, last of the handbuilts. Expensive to maintain and run though. Don't let anyone tell you you can run these cars on a budget, you can't!
It's worth it just to revel in the handbuilt aura ...
picked up 12th May 2006.
Only kept for about 9 months as chopped it in for a DB9. Absolutely no probs during ownership. Never felt that fast but enjoyed driving it and the positive reactions from oth...
Great fun GT cruiser. Seats 4 on short trips. Around the track the chassis is surprisingly excellent given the weight. The power and grip are very good with the lower profiles.
Dream of owning one of these recently realised. The car is actually the first Series IV V8 off the production line as confirmed by the chassis number and factory build sheet. The car was registered ...
Classic lines, beautiful hand-built aluminium body, thrilling engine note, extremely expensive to run!

looks like a proper piece of kit but only time will tell if its the real deal!!!!!bloody long wait list !was on order till i drove one and will give it a miss !!!!!
Wow ... automotive porn.
Looks great, sounds fab, but is a little short changed in the performance & ergonmics depts.
But the looks n sounds go someway to forgiving these shortcomings.
(edit:...
I really love this car. It feels grown-up yet makes the most awesome sound imaginable. Its a gorgeous shape and makes you feel special every time you get into it. Early days and not had the chance to...
Quite possibly the most desirable motor car in the world!
I believe a price increase would retain the exclusivity factor, after my purchase of course.

My AMV8 is Mercury Silver with duo-tone leather interior (Obsidian Black and Chancellor Red) with thick red stitching, black carpets, and red brake calipers.
Get it in Silver they said, and keep the interior fairly plain - it'll help with the resale value.
Yeah right. This car's for me, not the next owner. So it's RED, bright RED, with RED leather and ...
The V8 is the reason I am "Grinning". Used every day and most days I manage a trip via a tunnel or two. Well, you have to really.

Lovely car, really stunning design and a pleasure to drive.
Wouldn't recommend one based on running costs but they do look the part.
Get a 4.7 if you can.
Had a manual version, but I much prefer the sportshift paddle gear change. The manual is still a tremendous car, but for my driving having 2 pedals is better!
Not ballistic quick like some of the latest motors, but don't let anyone tell you they are slow.
Moreover, these are such "together" cars. Everything compliments everything else about the car and...
Great road presence, a car that makes people stop and stare.
But 15k miles in and I was bored of it and ready for a change. Certainly a marque I'll revisit one day.
Good: The noise, oh the noise. Wonderful thing to see outside when you open the curtains on a sunny morning. Quick ish. Nice interior.
Bad: Dealer was pretty terrible. Kept on breaking down - elect...
The V8 Vantage is an amazing car to drive; a quick dab of the right foot tells you all you need to know, even more so with the exhaust valves opened up to hear the fine V8 tune.
It's very much a 'b...
Looks great, sounds great, but no torque at all, terrible low down acceleration as a result, very poor reliability and lost £1350 per month in depreciation.
Some bastard clocked it back from 168K miles to 60 odd.
Had received a 25K restoration, but was still rubbish.
Totally awful car that nonetheless looked and sounded great!
second only to the ferrari of the cars i have had.not ferrari fast,obviously, but anyone who tells you they are slow either hasn't driven one or is a liar!!
Most beautiful car on the road. N400 limited edition with the sports pack and enhanced performance should make this a great car to drive too. Now driven 2800 miles in 3 months and I love it. Everyone ...
Another hire, definitely the best I have had. The noise is awesome and addictive. Good car for tunnel hunting. Sportshift could be a pain but since discovered a few things which might have improved it...
WOW!! This car was amazing in so many ways. I almost cried when it was driven away by its new owner. Still, I wasn't much of a fan of its monthly payments anyway! ;)
Recommend if you don't have a family - looked and sounded great, but totally impractical for me. Wrong choice as I have kids and it really limited the use I could have for it, it really is the baby As...
A beautiful car and very special. I went to Newport Pagnel and watched it being built. It just kept breaking down all the time though and so I gave up after 8 months
Dad's old car.
Sold it last September to buy the Lexus. He didn't like it, said it wasn't him and there were cars he liked better.
I think he needs his head checking.
The most amazing noise and driving experience ever..but only when it worked! Engine lunched itself at just over 2000 miles and was fully replaced under warranty - thank you AM!

The Lambo was a more memorable experience, but the Vantage is definitely a more enjoyable one! Can see myself sticking with this car for quite some time.
