Aston Martin's have you owned? Best highlight and worst!
Discussion
Just for fun (1) 2005 V8 Vantage, best feature it said Power, soul and beauty on start up and worst, I had to put a sim card in! (2) 2016 V8 Vantage (factory build): best feature the manual gearbox and worst feature the Vodafone tracker key fobs (3) DB11 best feature the V12 engine and bonnet vents and worst feature the Vodafone tracker key fobs!!
Okay I will bite. DB9 Volante 2005, best feature the sound of the naturally aspirated V12 with the roof down ! Worst battery always flat, wouldn’t last 2 weeks without charging. DB11 V12 2017 best feature the effortless power and steering (I know the reviews hated it but it worked for me), worst feature keeping Ultramarine Black clean. DBX 550 2021, best feature rear seats ! Worst feature the key opening the boot from your pocket without you realising even a 100m away.
I've owned 2 so far as follows:
2009 4.3 Vantage. Best: the sound, it's looks, great servicing around my part of the world. Worst: poor Bridgstone tyres but replaced quickly.
2019 AM6 Vantage. Best: looks, sound. Worst: Pirelli tyres, rear diff cooler replaced twice under warranty within a year, front light condensation and fight with warranty to cover it, luckily they did but only due to a failed MOT otherwise the price would be £4000 for one unit. In the end found the car boring to drive.

Had a 4.7 Vantage.
Best experience was the manual gearbox.
Worst was always stalling it 🤦♂️
Now have a DBS Superleggera.
Best is unending delivery of power from no revs at all.
Worst….erm…..struggling….erm, if you push me then I’d say the infotainment, but who cares about that. 👍
