Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Roadster - Road Test with Great Sound

[@rosendosolesainz5059]

FROM THIS HUGE ELEGANCE TO ACTUAL BRUTALITY OF DESING.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks for taking a moment to share some good words...people like you, who appreciate these vehicles as much as I do, are the reason I feel compelled to keep doing these!

[@AutoEdits]

I agree! Thanks so much for checking it out...I appreciate it a bunch!

[@davidhenschel5895]

I think slot of you have missed the point of owning an AM. It is not about bragging about how much a certain model costs, it is about the feeling of driving such a beautiful piece of British Engineering and understatement. If you want to bragg, buy a Ferrari. Greeting from an AM owner in Switzerland 🤓

[@hammondc366]

One of the best sounding AND looking cars out there 😍

[@AutoEdits]

It does sound glorious.

[@AutoEdits]

I'm still at the age where I really enjoy a manual transmission and just the thought of actually rowing through the gears with that V8 makes me happy...I would still enjoy owning the V12 and appreciating the challenge driving that car fast presents! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Dr_Xyzt]

Proper Review!!!!! I'm glad you let us hear the exhaust note, unlike some other channels, that do it only once or twice.

DE ESTA SUPREMA ELEGANCIA A LA BRUTALIDAD ACTUAL DE DISEÑO AM MOTORIZADO MB.

[@shawncweed]

I went to pick up my E55 a couple years back and they had this recently traded Vantage sitting on the showroom floor...I asked if I could sit in it and it took my breath away...the interior is the most gorgeous interior I have ever seen...it was like a work of art...and that was just the inside...the exterior is a scultured classic...just WOW! My E55 and M6 may be a bit faster, but for shear class...AM wins without even trying...well done

[@AutoEdits]

That is Placerita Canyon just North of Los Angeles...and then we scooted up to the Ranger station at the top of Bear Divide...very nice up there.

[@okcoolin12]

Maybe the nicest looking car in the world

[@AutoEdits]

@MrTrumpeter93 Wow, great question.I absolutely love the sound of the V8 and the car is noticeably better balanced and more nimble on the road...Plus, the gas mileage was almost unbelievable good in the V8. The V12 sounds stunning and is very exotic but I'm just a die-hard muscle car guy so the V8 sound makes me happy in my soul. However, given the extra power, the manual 6speed and hard top makes the choice easy.V12 VANTAGE is the one for me, no doubt about it...bucket list car for sure!Thanks!

[@jimdolceamore3005]

Nice video. I purchased a manual 2008 V8 Vantage Roadster last year and really like it. The local Aston Martin Owners Club rides are fun.

[@AutoEdits]

Very cool!

[@KevToon61]

Fantastic review mate, love the car, the sound is stunning and the looks even better, well done.

[@SuperKeybored]

enjoyed that review ..... looking at vantage right now and this started me doing my man maths.. job done

[@AutoEdits]

Good choice!

[@mikeryan777]

A giddy Super Hero. WOW, I had no idea!!!! Please pick me up at the office, I am ready now.

[@obhatti]

your nephew is super lucky to have gotten a ride home in that thing! awesome review!!

[@lawlaw1]

The car... That road..... Perfection

[@Karlsson600]

Amazing review, looks, sound

[@aaa84gt]

This deserves far more views.

[@rampe5610]

autoedit Hi Jason, I really liked your review of the Vantage V8. The sound of that V8 on a canyon road is something I would love to experience myself, it truly is intoxicating. Thanks for the great review. Subbed!

[@AutoEdits]

Howdy! Thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you enjoyed the car as much as I did!

[@Nickomfacc]

You need a TV show man, you're awesome!

[@AutoEdits]

@kakowcacow The motorcycle rider is my friend Eric and he was just out there for some fun...I would never hound a rider like that if I didn't know him...I'm a rider too and wouldn't appreciate that for sure!

[@AutoEdits]

Why yes it does...just go to the link in the description Galpin Premier and start drooling!

[@MoJoKick224]

This guy needs a TV show.

[@ph3s1968]

@autoedit MY favorite car ever is technically a '68 GT500KR Convert. but I generally just lump that into saying its the '68 Mustang because that way I can say that I already own my favorite car!! I also generalize my second favorite to be anything in the current design line up of Aston.

[@AutoEdits]

I found that in full auto mode, it had a small delay between gears on up shifts. The trick for sporty use of the paddles is to treat gear changes like a manual..breathe of the gas, hit the paddle and bury your foot back in the gas. Besides, the blip on the downshift is flat awesome. But for me, give me a proper manual!

[@Jim-v3o]

I've gotten so used to my Sportshift II that the thought of a real manual doesn't bother me like it used to, the manuals are really hard to find

[@ChrisAmosPhotography]

Just discovered this channel, your videos are awesome, keep it up man!

[@AutoEdits]

I strongly agree.

[@MajmeKriza]

a MONSTER dressed like a princess !!

[@BenzinioB]

Nice job man - I like all your videos. Just keep going :)

[@AutoEdits]

@blackericdenice Another one of the pleasant surprises about that car was the really good gas mileage...It got just over 18 with the canyon runs and the freeway driving!

[@AutoEdits]

@RGNHD How far are you from Los Angeles?

[@igorx9234]

Great video with a great car. Thank you for posting

[@gix_d]

This is a great car, can't wait til I get one myself?

[@mtksbctk]

dude the guy from CNET dissed you hard bro lol

[@AutoEdits]

@ph3s1968 Howdy man!!! Hope you are well...ok, I'll make sure to bring one of the next cars out to the shop...but the question I have for you is, what's your favorite car?

[@snackie2]

Frickin' sweet!

[@habib99ht]

The SOOOOUND 3 !!!!

[@marksapollo]

I love Aston Martins, if I won the lottery I would be straight down the dealership, and I would buy the Vantage out of all of their models as the baby Aston just looks the best! So so so cool, and because it's small it's more fun to throw around. Great car. I just worry how Astons will be with the AMG engines in them, such a shame they won't be making their own engines anymore :(

[@MrTrumpeter93]

You mentioned you like the sound of the v8 better than the v12, but as a whole car do you like the v8 vantage or the v12 vantage better?

[@DavidBoy333]

Can I ask some experts here? Ive heard that a lot of people found the automatic gearbox in the Astons are not that smooth. In this Vantage S for example, would the manual gearbox be faster or slower than the automatic? and how about in a normal v8 vantage??

[@AaronHerbertattorney]

I want this car!!!!

[@goinhot1]

Love that car !!!!! WOW

[@adampetten5349]

Motorcycle wants to play with fast car.😎

[@L2004M]

bad ass car! whats the paint code of the black on this vehicle?

[@The44kGaming]

Maan.. I wish I was there driving that car. Looks pretty nice. ;)

[@Sora2529]

What's the officially 0-60 time for this Aston Martin V8 Vantage S ?

[@rsswga]

nice video

[@stevielowe2853]

Super cool car best colour for it

[@AutoEdits]

I think it's 4.7 sec

[@tvmike2001]

very cool!!!!

[@THEHUNK8]

What's the difference between a Vantage, Vantage S, and Vantage N420?

[@VEDEMRACING99]

@autoedit Well if your willing to take a road trip to Oklahoma City That would be awsome!

[@alex_merc]

good video anyway mate

[@michaelkam]

Hey!!!! which canyon is it? I want to take my Vantage S too!!!

[@200mphBrian]

If I'm not mistaken think about what is Highway 74 in California it goes between Palm Desert and Temecula. It's a great Drive I lived most of my life in the Palm Desert area and used to drive this road a lot in my car is and sportbikes

[@dusanlonco4448]

UUAAHHH !!!

[@jakebrown8213]

My favourite make of car

[@ciriusn]

Funny how this review contrasts with Brian Cooley's review from Cnet. Lol

[@feo130]

Great car, one of my dream automobiles. Would rather have a 6-speed manual though.

[@brutalgamez2758]

I need help, should go all fast & furios and get a GTR or go with some class and a Aston Martin vatage v8 ? :D My two favorite cars are the Vanquish and the GTR but i cant buy the vanquish if i could i would go with that but now i dont know what to do. This will be my everyday yes the aston is more comfortable but the GTR kills it when it comes to performance. Though saying i have a aston martin would feel better hahaha I will mod the GTR but i wont touch the aston that much so its original.

[@ph3s1968]

Hey J. I still say you're a bass turd for not taking me with you to drive my second favorite car ever!!!

[@AutoEdits]

@mikeryan777 That's pretty good...I literally "laughed out loud"!

[@knut761]

I like english cars myself, especially aston martin.

[@terbor33]

Well its obvious. Britain makes the best v8 in the world ;)

[@FloppyHatPhotos]

The sound makes me think vintage Dirt bike.

[@alex_merc]

Very good car but i don't like so much the steering wheel

[@tmat04]

Sounds great, but I still think the Ferrari 458 Spider sounds better.

[@helmarr1]

6:00 , 7:23

[@MrOldCrow]

dreamcar ... drool ... o_0 ...

[@VEDEMRACING99]

Can you come pick me up from school?

[@ShameShaken]

But what's not to like about an American complimenting a British-made Car?

[@DavidBoy333]

I get it now, so the auto is stil not that advanced, Thank you for replying:)

[@JOKBO1]

You can now get this car for under $40k

[@bladerunner6282]

and the 4.3 version (with 35,000 miles on the odometer) for the price of a base version ford 1/2 ton four-door pickup.

[@monsoonification]

I have a 4.7 v8 240hp...-_-

[@superhulk300]

hott :)

[@ThomasFerrugia]

Live with one for a couple of months. Eventually, the sounds, looks and visual appeal give way to the terrible build quality, electronic glitches, squeaks, rattles and tinny chassis structure. I assure you, ANYONE who admires these cars or claims Aston Martin is their dream brand has never owned one.

[@lucasbeche9742]

Okay, you can fuck off now...

[@ThomasFerrugia]

Lucas Bèche I have a much better idea. Why don't you go fuck yourself? Awwww :-( Poor widdo Lucas!! He's dreamed his whole widdo life of buying and Aston. He's fantasized about it for so long that he's convinced himself he knows more about them than people who own them. The fantasy gives his miserable life meaning. In fact, the dream is so important that he has convinced himself that it's his job to defend a car company! Finding out his fantasy automobile isn't perfect and, perhaps. the dream he's built his life around won't make his miserable life any better has crushed his soul! Poor butt-hurt Lucas. Go tell mommy you want some ice-cream and she'll make it all better :-)

[@TheTravisTube]

Thomas Ferrugia Wow that was incredibly rude. I've got a 2014 vantage and it's wonderful, unlike your 07 second hand db9 with less than 20k miles lol

[@natebarry5553]

+Thomas Ferrugia What is wrong with you? You're acting like an abused and petulant child

[@egkk737]

+Thomas Ferrugia if you paid double for a DB9 over a Vantage S you got mugged off!! There is no chance in a month of Sunday's a DB9 is worth double a Vantage S (given same plate/mileage).

[@tmat04]

Lol...Give the kid a break.

[@jeckillmicinoredbull350]

What a horrible exhausts sound car to be a roadster, absurd sound

[@AutoEdits]

You spelled great wrong both times.

[@scoopmaster69]

I'm gonna buy one of these within the next three years!

[@李想-d3m]

scoopmaster69 it's three years now

[@Jim-v3o]

Do it! I did exactly that with my own V8VS Roadster. I've yet to be disappointed

[@willkilla]

Nice review
