This car turns heads! Maneuvering on freeway is easy and can compete with more expensive performance vehicles. That is in traffic. It will not be fastest car on the road. But it handles well, especially if you use paddle controls. Be careful to park in shaded areas as key computer components are located where extreme heat might cause problems. Use a trickle charge to prevent battery issues if driving as second car. Never try to jump start or hit trunk button for reserve/non- driving mode. Manual is not same as the car details. I replaced computers and such. The location of gps screen is not ideal. Know where you are going so you never need it! Upgrade with backup camera and maybe forward camera to avoid parking issues. It’s small and sits low, so be aware The rear view mirror darkens to a point you cannot judge traffic behind. Sun shields are decorative! The windshield hits most vision at bad spot. If battery depleted, do not mess with any seat controls. Take to Aston Martin dealer for service. Insurance is pricey even with great rating and low miles. Maintenance is fairly cheap with great mechanic.
A keeper

Have had Porsches, every thing from Boxster to TurboS, two 355 Ferraris and a Ferrari F430. This goes way past the Porsches and just under the 430.

I have to say I love pushing the crystal ignition button, hearing the gutteral vroom that gets me on my way. I love the looks and drive of this vehicle. I previously drove a BMW 540i and I currently also own a Dodge Viper. Have had no major problems with the vehicle.

AM does not know how to make cars in large quantities and it shows with the V8. Failing gearboxes, lack of torque and smouldering clutches followed by lamentable excuses for the lack of quality from AM technical people were some of the resons why I got rid of the car after eight months. A porsche 911 S with a sports exhaust and the sport chrono option is not as pretty as the V8 but will go quicker, be reliable, make noise, retain its value and is cheaper. Watch AM V8 residual values drop as the quality issues come to light.The car is slow, that is why everyone says it needs more torque.The build quality is not what you would expect. Check warranty history if you are buying a used car.
WOW

Truly the most exciting car out there in its price range. Not seen everyday like its competitors. The craftsmanship is out of this world. Power, beauty, soul and if you buy one then you will know what I mean.
