Mid-late 00s were peak Aston Martin. Stylish cars, great engines, and plenty of secret agent swagger. The design aged like fine wine.

[@phattiger1506]

​@ DB12 is good looking in the current market, but compared to this is so over styled. The original V8 Vantage is the perfect Aston Martin for me. (By original I mean this one, though the previous gens have a soft spot to me too)

[@tavarish]

Thats exactly why I bought our old one back!

[@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.

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.)

Coincidentally, the first repair bill will also be the cost of a new small crossover.

​@@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.

[@toyoracer33]

It's amazing how something can look so modern and so classic at the same time.

[@Schaufelor]

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.

[@Crumblacrumbs]

Doug: “I’m selling my Aston Martin the day before the warranty expires!” Also Doug: “personally I think it’s much more reliable than most people assume!”

[@sevensynycal]

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.

[@zrzzezolo7134]

The VH Platform on which all Astons from this era are built, was originally developed by Lotus. They’re known for building some of the best handling chassis ever made. Weight distribution is even and you find double wishbone suspension in all four corners. (The new double wish bone front axle is something the new 992 GT3 gets praised for currently as no 911 ever had it before). This superior chassis is the reason why Aston Martin won everything in the early 2000‘s in long distance racing including Le Mans also besing Porsches. On Top Gear the DBS went around the track quicker then the Zonda. Never underestimate the performance of an Aston. They’re beautiful, luxurious AND capable.

[@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.

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

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!

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.

There was one of these at my local Nissan dealer and it was beautiful. Black on black. Black everything. Wheels, windows, badges. Totally awesome. I called and asked about it.

One defect I noticed that isn't mentioned in the video (it is mentioned on the auction listing): look closely at the stereo display and gauge cluster displays, and you will notice the anti-glare reflective coating is crazing on all of them.

Just look at the cooling system, hose connectors etc, looks like plumbing you don't usually see in most production cars. These were tested and regularly raced in endurance races. Drawback would be small electrical issues, and most computer diagnostic software is unable to communicate with most of its modules, forces you to use specialty dealer system to pinpoint and fix small issues (such as. srs system, abs system etc).

[@carguy7627]

Always loved the look of these. However, when they came out I had a 2006 M3 with the competition package and thought that it was too heavy. This weighed even more and while it had 50 more bhp I wasn't interested in buying one, just looking at them. It's amazing how cars have changed since then, almost everything is obese.
