Question posed by this week's Autocar...
A new AM V12C or an used 12C?
I surprised by the result..

The verdict.....

"Aston feels mobile & alert; 12C clean and capable. Vantage offers superior noise, too. A sense of drama. Theatre.
The Mclaren is fast but leaves our outright desire holed below the waterline. The Aston Martin is less satisfactory as mere transport but it never forgets what it is supposed to do. It's supposed to grab you and make you want to drive it for no other reason than you desperately wawnt to. That it does. And that's why it gets our nod."

Agree with LukeyLikey.. I have/had supposedly better sounding cars & I too love the 12C sound with Sports exhaust. Are we in the minority?? Can't comment on how much better sounding 650S supposedly is as haven't driven one yet..
