Aston Martin V12 Vantage (manual)

Alx · 06-05-2017, 01:34 PM

Hello everyone,

I was offered a beautiful Aston Martin V12 Vantage and would like to know your opinions on this car.

It is a 2009 model with the manual gearbox.

It is in my opinion one of the most beautiful cars in production and I would love a V12 with a manual gearbox.

Of course, I would need to sell the CSL and I cannot really convince myself to do that.

Kind regards,
Alex

Love it Alex.

Only negative comment I have heard about these is the quality of the paint (of all things !) from an ex owner. But a V12 and manual....mega

I would really love it, but I cannot see myself selling the CSL...

Another thing is that I'm sure the CSL is a better car to drive.

Did anyone drive a V12 Vantage?

I have driven a V8 Vantage with the manual gearbox and I own a DB9 which has the same V12 and a manual gearbox. I drove the CSL and the DB9 both today, the CSL felt a lot more precise, edgier and has a great character to it. The AM engine really comes alive about 4000rpm and sounds amazing. I have the sportskit which gives a slightly stiffer chassis amd lower ride height and the ride is fantastic. I would jump at the chance to get a V12 Vantage, to me they are one of the best Astons out there. At least have a decent test drive in it. A V12 Vantage will weigh less and have more power than my DB9, mine is a 2007 car with 450hp. It doesn't feel as fast as the CSL, but of the road cars I have it gets closest to the throttle response of the CSL.
