DBS vs V12Vantage.

Ok so for your 90k you could find a nice one of either. In your opinion which of these is the better buy, better to drive and ultimately the future classic? other reasons?

DBS every time. Firstly it's better looking imo (although still not as good as the Virage/DB9), and secondly it can be had with a better gearbox and in convertible form

Sorry George H.
1. Has to be manual
2. Coupe only.

Not a bad buy a silverspeed.

Am I reading that advert correctly - crap as it may be ???

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

Iam going for hatchback and helping him out of this bad handling car with an offer of £70k.
Only if it has the LWS though.

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.....

I drive a V12V...and think its great. However, if I'm honest, I'd rather have a DBS.

CPBRI why? you could always change to the DBS.
Some good points made especially for the DBS,but i think the V12V is just edging it. It looks imo a little more modern and superb in MF, then theres those Carbon Vents which i love!
But that DBS at Top 555 looks stunning. Not so easy!

Good people at TOP555 and they treat you very well.

Yes i have heard nothing but good words about them.
This is the second Aston of theirs that i have posted about, the other was a V12V and was bought by someone reading about it here on the PH Aston forum!

[cayman-black]

What about the weight of these two? The DBS is the bigger car but it has a lot of carbon parts,so is it any heavier?

[cayman-black]

Thanks George H.
I think i really should order Grants book.

OK so have looked hard on the reviews of these two Astons i have found some reviews that are not that great about the DBS. On the other hand all of the reviews that i have seen on the V12Vantage are great. So in answer to my own questions about these two it seems that the V12V is the better Aston.
Sorry to all DBS owners i am sure there nearly as great!

[cayman-black]

From what i got was that the V12 was the better resolved car. Plus just as usable.(both manual)
