I am just about to push the button on changing my V12 Vantage (2009) to a 2015 Vanquish Volante.
Has anyone done similar? would love your feedback as feeling nervous, not about the new car but loosing the old.

Don't do it! The van vol does not drive as well as the v12v that's for sure, a different Aston experience perhaps.

Yeah I'd go for it too, in my opinion the Vanquish is so very beautiful and a better all round car to the V12V .

One of the best looking cars you could ever buy! Have you had a proper test drive of it not the 10 usual min loop? I think your missus would like it more mate - it will be far more comfortable for our trips...

Do it, Vanquish Volante is absolutely stunning. Beautiful curves smile

Moving to a top of the line Aston is always the right decision.

I love the Vanquish but I'd go for a V12 Vantage S Roadster instead. Big engine in a small car.
But of course I would say that! smile

From the man who only polishes his wink

VV will keep up with V12V/S on normal UK roads all day long.

And of course was the flagship car of it's time.

It’s been there since April & needed a little TLC but drove perfectly. Five months in stock there must be a great deal to be done. One odd thing I spotted was the engine cover had a badge with a green background rather than black.

They told me it has been with them for 2 months and all they did was put the original wheels back on.

Changed from a 2018 991.2 GTS (Cab) which in fairness, drives better, but lacked the sense of occasion and the special feel.
