RE: Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante unveiled

[CSK1]

Easily the most beautiful model out of the current range.
Reliability ? They are very reliable.
Not a single issue with mine in four years of ownership.
Some people find the need to be critical but have never owned an Aston so it is easier to say on a public forum they will never own one because they are unreliable whereas they simply can't afford to buy one.

Yeah, marvellous isn't it.

[calistomon]

Perfect. Not sure the colour suits it terribly well, mine would have to be British Racing Green.

[Mr-B]

Love that.

Apart from the one picture which I now can't un-see, has one of the panels come loose?

[Hitch]

What a thing! Would make a lovely post-lotto win daily.

That really jars with me too. It also looks wrong in the photo of the right hand side of the car with the car on the move.

Condescending, speculative nonsense.

Yes. A bit ‘loads ‘a money’ that one

Looks fantastic apart from the nasty vents above the front wheels as others have highlighted. No way I could buy this over a 488 or 720 though.

[Gameface]

Very different cars.

Whereas "I'll never buy one of those because they're unreliable" is not condescending, speculative nonsense of course.

[sideways man]

Yeah that’s quite sexy. Mine would British Racing Green, cream seats and black interior. Perfect.

[IMI A]

Perfect car

It is frustrating when 'reliability' is brought up in such a manner without substantiation

Coming from a TVR background and more recently Aston Martin, my experience is that this is not the case and often these words are 'others words' simply regurgitated

Maybe if belleair expands on their ownership experience and states which Aston models they had and the basis for the comments?

[NJJ]

Beautiful externally but that interior, it is just not special enough given the price. The lack of screen integration in particular is unforgivable. That said it is great to see Aston on a roll at the moment though.

[chrisironside]

Not an unattractive machine.

[jakesmith]

I still prefer the old one at the moment, takes me a while to get used to these new fangled ones

[cayman-black]

In five years of ownership, i have had not one problem with my V12Vantage. Imo they are a very well made car and very sturdy.
But i might be lucky because i, ve also had no problems with my last three Range Rovers.

I think it might just be people failing to update their opinions. They assume because the cars from the 80s and 90s were unreliable they must be now, even though they aren't. The build quality on my V8V and DB9 are in a different league to the DB7 I had 10 years ago. The recent cars have been very reliable (although not perfect truth be told), but the DB7 had more problems in one year of ownership than the four years I owned the other two combined.

Sorry but this just looks like a Jaguar F-Type with a Miata's grille.

Very nice indeed, but I thought the same!

You both need to visit Specsavers.

Aston Martin please get rid of those rear seats. This car should of had a hatchback door like the F12. Theres no point in those stupid rear seats.
