I still remember Doug's Vantage "bumper to bumper warranty"

[@PrinceDavid]

Yeah those were the days

[@AhmedMJ97]

Beautiful memories, you can’t forget his FAMOUS Land Rover “bumper to bumper warranty”

[@AdamG1983]

OGs remember...also the Range Rover. Car Max still hates him.

[@dreammatch2000]

I've been feeling dejavu' all day today. Did Doug re-upload his old car video? Or maybe had buyers remorse and bought it back? 🤔

[@milans3747]

​@@blackshadow7192I have seen a video where a mechanic said , Aston Martins are more expensive to maintain than Ferrari , Bentley , jaguars etc...

[@samlawts1193]

@@milans3747 Massively untrue. Ferrari especially are far more expensive to maintain. These vantages are parts bin specials and are fairly bulletproof. They have a timing chain which is great and lots of their parts are from Ford, Volvo and Jaguar. You see a few of these online with some serious mileage. Their only downfall is on the electrical side of things but that will be the same for pretty much every car from this era.

[@rckrckrckrck]

Funny, I’ve had mine 3 years and the only things I’ve fixed are the door struts and an alarm sensor (battery had gone bad after 18 years). Total in parts was under $500. Outside routine maintenance, which has also been pretty cheap (thanks Red Pants!). It’s been rock solid otherwise. Also I’m researching getting something like a 570S or F430 and their parts and maintenance are drastically more expensive. But hey, these myths are keeping the prices low so enthusiasts can enjoy this bargain car.

[@sevensynycal6411]

I remember when Doug was reading his angry comments with this car about driving in the snow and it was one of the funniest videos I’ve seen.

[@ericautoxes]

I've had a 2007 Vantage for almost three years and it's a great all around car. With 200TW tires, it's even fun on the autocross course (video proof on my channel). One thing Doug doesn't mention is that the car is quite DIY friendly. Since purchasing it, I've installed track pads and high temp brake fluid, O2 sensors, a serpentine belt, and an oem Sports Pack suspension kit, all at home with regular tools. Thanks to Ford interchangeability, some of the parts weren't even that expensive. And I "fixed" the infotainment with an Echo Auto and a bluetooth module that streams through the CD Changer port. It was a dream car of mine since it came out, and I can't think of much else I'd rather have for the price

[@dolphhitler]

I love hearing that from owners. I hope to own one as well one day. It would have been a better purchase than a new Ridgeline, but finding one and then getting financing are the obstacles for plebians like me who don't have 40k burning a hole in their pocket. Working toward it though. Still prefer old cars over all the modern safety beeping and warnings. 21 years driving with no accidents.

[@AhmedMJ97]

You know Doug loves a car when he reviews it multiple times. The good old days when Doug used to own this car.

[@AhmedMJ97]

Even this Vantage looks pretty much the same as the one he owned😂

[@saidchammas]

[@Colin-kh6kp]

It´s interesting when you look at the Porsche 911 of that era. You just see an outdated Porsche. When i look at this Aston i just see a perfect, timeless design. Pure dream car back then for my 20 yo self and still is today.

This brings back old Memories of early Doug Videos! Also i feel the Aston Martin Vantage (or any Aston Martin for that matter) is timeless in Design Yes Aston Martins are often insanely expensive to fix if something breaks even here in Europe, while usually European Car Brands are way cheaper to fix and repair as long as you live in Europe But just like with a BMW M5 V10. it's still worth all the Hassle everytime you drive it. I always considered getting a Vantage V8, and then for a while a V12 (they used to be way cheaper back around 2013-2014) should have gone for it back then Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

[@Misfitgarage1]

I have an 09’ manual 4.7 coupe with 106k miles. It has been my daily driver for 5 years until I got a great EV lease deal 3 weeks ago. It’s now a weekender… for now. it has been the most reliable car I’ve owned and I will never sell it. (Prior cars- 300zx, m coupe, Volvo s60r (has the same mirrors as the vantage actually), e46 m3, m2 competition, 2023 ford bronco. The vantage is incredibly reliable if you take care of it. I do my own oil changes every 3k miles, and it takes less than 45 minutes. The only thing I’ve had fail in the last 5 years of ownership is the auxiliary fan, which was $600… trust me, don’t let the perception of a few that have never owned one, ruin potential ownership. It’s a gorgeous, high quality, and special car. Buy one!

[@rckrckrckrck]

As a fellow owner I agree. Cost and reliability myths hurt value though. I’ve had way more problems with BMW’s, VW’s, even my Macan had a lot of issues. This thing is rock solid so far.

[@whatevernevermind5960]

The sound & styling alone is worth its weight in gold. That & the fact that Jeremy Clarkson waxed lyrics about this car.

[@BlakeMcBride]

I have an '07 Vantage. Mine has been dead reliable, literally zero issues in 2 years of ownership. Car has 60k on it and I know the history through the past 2 owners who also had very reliable ownership. They're pretty solid overall, and most of the "common issues" aren't catastrophic (cloudy lights, needing to reset a door or seat module, etc.)

[@RaydenSun]

Just checked EU prices and in Germany the cheapest car is one with 513k kilometres (~320k miles) on the clock. Apparently got its first engine replacement 35k km (21k miles) ago. Those are wild numbers for an Aston.

[@rckrckrckrck]

Not that surprising. It’s a pretty stout Jaguar based engine.

[@RetroKingOG]

@@paullucci no the engine actually stranded him because it decided to just break. I do remember when he made a video back in 2017 explaining what happened. He pretends like he doesn’t want to admit it He only had the car for like a year in a half. Anyone who followed him since 2016, will actually know the reason he got rid of it. Because it was honestly too expensive to keep running. Now that he can afford one again, he now will claim it wasn’t too bad

[@MrDReynard]

I find it funny that when Dough talks about reliability and says 50,000 to 70,000 like it's impressive. Both my Lexus and Goldwing are past 150,000 miles and they have only required regular maintenance. They have never left me on the side of the road. I would love Doug to make a video about why people put up with the lack of reliability in some brands but people still buy them, example Range Rover.

[@LMacNeill]

I see this car, and I cannot help but think of Top Gear. This was *peak* Top Gear during these years., '05 or '06 through about '11 or '12 -- Clarkson, Hammond, and May were at their best, each episode was something you anticipated greatly, and it was always funny while still remaining relatively informative. And they must've had this generation of Aston Martin's lineup on there nearly every episode! Great times!
