First drive in my 500HP Aston Martin Vantage with a V8 AMG engine

[@ABAUTOAMG]

I got the downpipe opf delete done today that I mentioned in this video and gosh! it's a way larger difference than I expected! It sounds so unreal now, wait till you see the next drive video! 😁

[@adamb3272]

Did you sell the CLA45S?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

@@adamb3272 Sadly the CLA45s will be gone soon yes :( I have just got a few more videos left to do on the CLA45s first. I will be getting my hands on some Mercedes though to keep the Mercedes content coming and maybe still feature the CLA45s where I can. As much as I love the CLA45s i’ve made so many vids on it now so wanted to try something new and fresh.

[@talk2turbo]

Maybe a clean pair at 2:34? Lol. What a legend, seems a properly genuine guy. Well deserved keep up the videos!

[@CarsFromOz]

Excellent video of a bloody stunning car mate! On a side note, as a very early subscriber and as someone who has watched all of your videos, I just love the way that you get such sheer pleasure out of your cars. I’m the same, and it’s a rare thing for guys our age to get such a buzz out of things. The advert for my Kia Stinger said ‘Feel something again’ and I certainly do whenever I put my foot down!

With so many cars looking so similar and generally jelly moulds of each other, the supercar category still makes all car enthusiasts, stare and and give an appreciative nod. Your AM Vantage is one of those special cars visually, regardless of how amazing the driving experience is no doubt. Gorgeous car and a head turner! Anyway back to my daily "what car could be next" searches on Autotrader.

[@Neon....]

Are you me? I'm looking at a C43 like yours as my next car, and my dream car is also a V8 Vantage! Huge congrats on this milestone, what an amazing car to own! Very excited to see what becomes of this 🎉🎉

[@andyh6554]

This gives me a lot of happy memories of enjoying daily driving a rear wheel drive sports car, unfortunately i was young and inexperienced and wrote my Porsche off on a wet day. Be careful mate they are unforgiving, but enjoy it!

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

Once again big congrats on your dream car, I bet it feels really special to drive looks amazing 😊

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Thank you Steve! Had the opf delete downpipes fitted today. Wow what a difference! Now it sounds perfect! Looking forward to sharing in the next video 😁

[@PR.77]

That was a whole movie trailer 👌

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Lots of fun to have now with the Aston Martin... It does look great from above with the drone! Perhaps some more bond vibes ;)

[@Sambam1981]

Oh I see you have something else. That’s clean also. Damn man. One day maybe one day 😂

[@Ian-A-3179]

What an awesome machine. Hopefully we don’t see flashing red and blue lights coming through the back window in the next video 😂

[@nealc9230]

Very nice , just found out the new CLE63 is a V8 again !! now where is my money tree!?!

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Fantastic news! You just can’t beat a AMG V8 ❤️

[@heat2277]

Bloody hell mate, congrats! Aston Martins are beautiful things, especially with a thunderous ol' AMG sourced v8. Enjoy her well my friend, dont lock her up in a garage 😅

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Thank you! My word I had the opf delete downpipes fitted today and the car now sounds absolutely insane. Can’t wait to make the video

[@andrewbutler7627]

Nice car man! Do you still have your cla 45s? Its my dream car

[@ABAUTOAMG]

I’ve got some more CLA45s content to make first 👍 i’ve made so much content with it now though so wanted to mix things up. It has been an amazing car though and I will miss it when I'm done.

[@EyesonEnforcement911]

Wouldn't you want to break the car in first before flooring it?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

I didn't buy this one new it's already broken in. I’m the second owner but only 13k miles on clock :)

[@EyesonEnforcement911]

@ABAUTOAMG awesome! Super happy for you my man. You are the reason why I got my 2019 C43.

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Thank you! I still love the C43, fantastic all around car and will always have a special place in my heart as the first abauto car :) I hope you are enjoying yours!

[@EyesonEnforcement911]

@@ABAUTOAMG Thank you, Adam!

[@704amgluc]

Did you get rid of the CLA45?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Few more vids to come then It will be gone sadly. Still love the 45s but I've covered so much with it now and wanted to freshen things up. Will be some interesting content comparing the Aston Martin to the 45s also! There will still be lots of Mercedes content too

[@704amgluc]

@@ABAUTOAMG sweet, thanks man and congrats on that beauty

[@adidkjf]

why you dont answer people if you sold the cla or not? just be open :) im honest with you, im not into cars like AM, im a mercedes lover and especially the cla..

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey, sorry I always try to be open here. I’m selling the cla but have a few more videos on it coming soon first :) Il try and keep the mercedes content coming too on the channel even when it's gone by borrowing cars and perhaps some fun videos with viewers and their cars. I am still a huge Mercedes fan and want to keep that going on the channel 👍

[@NotKeys]

I'll miss the CLA45 but I'm really happy for you and your new AM! Enjoy it and please DON'T CRASH!!! I really enjoy watching your videos 😆

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Thank you! Lots of exciting content coming! I got the OPF delete downpipes today that I mentioned in the video here and wow... wait till you hear how it sounds! The traction has been surprising better than I expected with the Vantage, I think It's thanks to its great weight distribution. However I am keeping carful to make sure I'm ready if it does ever bite! Just need adapt and not do anything silly in the rain or when the tyres are cold! :)

[@panagiwtisleousis8991]

One question if I may?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Sure! Ask away :)

[@panagiwtisleousis8991]

@@ABAUTOAMG are you quitting videos with Mercedes?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

@panagiwtisleousis8991 absolutely not! :) I still love Mercedes and one of the reasons I got the Aston was because it has so much Mercedes inside and the Mercedes AMG engine too. il be making vids on the new Mercedes models and I'm also hoping to meet with some viewers and feature there cars. Lots of good plans!

[@panagiwtisleousis8991]

@@ABAUTOAMG ok thank you a lot for the answers.i hope to enjoy your car and keep safe

[@benjamingibbs8788]

And the CLA takes it off the line.

[@samcharles]

Nice but prefer the cla45s

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Both are great cars. Had the OPF delete downpipe fitted today and the V8 sounds absolutely crazy now.

[@samcharles]

@@ABAUTOAMG I can imagine it’s a nice car but cla45s is a pure fun go kart

[@ABAUTOAMG]

The CLA45s is great and il always love it. There's something about the drama of the Vantage though that I am really enjoying, I think It's the feeling that you have all that power at the rear and always keeping on your toes just incase. The CLA45s is just an absolutely rocket that I have 100% trust in every time I floored it. This did mean though to get the most enjoyment out of the CLA45s you do have to drive very fast where as with a twitchy V8 you get more drama at lower speeds and of course you can go fast if you dare!

[@Happytruth]

That Aston isn’t as good as the CLE 53 IMO nevermind the V8 CLE 63 (rumoured) lots of reviews on that Aston point to bad build quality with many complaints, dated interior and a terrible infotainment system from the dark ages. Great sound no doubt a great engine but I’m suprised you ditched a newer Mercedes for that, rumour has it most people believe that Aston was well overpriced at launch that’s why Aston were offering fixed £1000 a month payback finance with minimal deposit.

[@ABAUTOAMG]

I’ve not experienced any of this so far. Build quality is leaps above anything I've ever owned from my first 2 weeks experience so far. Inside the interior is lovely and I love the button stack, the glass start, drive, park etc buttons feel so nice to press. Quite a few familiar Mercedes bits too which I like. Although it runs a dated version of the Mercedes comand system it does not bother me at all because it has wireless carplay which works great, much better than my wired carplay in the CLA45s. So arguably if you use carplay all the time it's actually a better system than mbux, subjective though of course! The new Mercedes are great but they are very overpriced at the moment and although the tech is amazing I much prefer the simple buttons..showing my age perhaps! The presence of the vantage is just crazy in person too, it gets a lot of attention which is fun for KZbin. I still love Mercedes though and will be trying to get my hands on the new models to feature them on the channel. I’m hoping we can have lots of fun content of my experience with the Aston Martin while also keeping up all the Mercedes content too 👍

[@00kayem]

Whats gona be your family car now?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

We’re currently looking for a new family car. Something quite big because we just got a golden retriever puppy last week too and he's gonna be a big boy when he grows up 😁

[@00kayem]

@@ABAUTOAMG ahah you're going to need a 7 seater for that! :D Congrats bud!
