DBS vs V12Vantage.
Discussion
Totally 100% biased - V12V.
Have only driven the DBS with TT2 - a beautiful fast sporting GT which is quite easy to drive and feels very special but (waits to be flamed ) just felt like a DB9 turned up to the max . V12V is just as beautiful in a more aggresive way but can, with the press of one button , turn from a fast GT car to a brutal supercar. If you want to drive it - buy it - the V12V .

The replies demonstrate that despite the cars all looking so similar (ish), just how much difference there is between the various models in the range and how dramatically the characteristics change with the different gearbox options
It's also the classic demonstration that there is not necessarily a better or best car, just a better or best car for each particular individual
Although of course the manual DBS is better :-)

Am I reading that advert correctly - crap as it may be ???http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/3788448.htm
That is spacecowboy7's car - wasn't he the young man we advised recently ??? Not a happy Bunny evidently.
Is it a hatchback or a coupe ??
BTW I'm with Georgeous....go for the big boys' car.
How many women do you know that drive a DBS ??
Exactly

Only if it has the LWS though.
It's what you prefer. I went for a DBS because, having driven both reasonably extensively, I thought the DBS was a better compromise for my needs.
If I did a lot of track work, the V12V would have been my choice. For bimbling along on overcrowded roads, with occasional back road blasts, the DBS was a more realistic option.
I also think the DBS looks better.

If i had the choice (which i never will) i would go for the v12v, however, i think the DBS looks stunning. However, i cant get my head round why george or anyone would think a virage looks better than a v12v!? I really dont like the shiny bonnet vents on them....
Look at that and then look at a virage......
no further questions your honour.....

Doesn't help your case with the fact you've posted the chavviest colour V12V that you can buy!Look at that and then look at a virage......

The Virage is possibly my favourite in the current range looks wise, can't quite make my mind up which front lights I prefer compared to the DB9. The V12V is my least favourite (bar the Cygnet) because of the bonnet vents. The Virage's shiny bonnet vents are on option I believe

You'll have to forgive George......based on previous comments regarding colour combos etc, I have a feeling he's colour blind
Luna...Georgeous is well documented as averse to white cars - they can hark back to days when they were a bit naff tbh.But MF and Stratus White? are really starting to grow on me.
And for somebody of Paddy's pedigree, dealing day in day out with multiple colours, to give the thumbs up to MF then you can see why....
