I'm torn between a DBS or Vanquish. Anyone had/driven both, any thoughts?
Cheers
There are many threads on here re this subject. I was in the same dilemma and went for the vanquish. My reasons being, I liked the lines of the Vanquish, the extra HP. better brakes better handling better infotainment, better boot space, full carbon body, better wheel proportions,launch control, more performance settings, better auto, and I like the interior on the vanquish.Cheers
I have done 16000kl in 10 months which is probably a record on here and it has been trouble free, just the usual servicing, an auto reset as the previous driver babied it a bit,
The only major advantage of the DBS is you can get a manual box but that was not my concern as I like paddle shifts and the auto option. I love the looks of the DBS as well but consider that the 2-15 Vanquish is a lot more aggressive looking. Heres a great photo of mine.
As said by others this is not an uncommon post - and either way you are a winner because they are both stunning cars.
DBS manual is a wonderful thing and sounds and looks great. The vanquish 2 is a different beast - more aggressive, a better drivers car and with improved dynamics, engine BHP, infotainment, brake balance, engine knock sensors, a wonderful 8 speed ZF gearbox in 2015 + etc etc and looks fantastic. Has the significantly bigger boot plus the all round carbon fibre is pretty sweet unless you knock it.
I drove both - almost bought the DBS and then drove the vanquish 8speed and it is just a better drivers car as you would expect from the replacement halo model. More I live with it the more stunning I think it looks, plus it will be the last of the NA V12s and it's a cracking swansong.
DBS remains wonderful though and the collectors piece from the Gaydon VH era. Friend brought his manual over the other day and it still looks and sounds stunning.
Either way you will love it.
