[@ej5376]

Sorry to bombard you - But it amazing to drive, but also the tech has jumped 10 generations. I got one of these for an hour the other day and it is a bit lairy at 160-180mph with a crosswind. The SINGLE most impressive thing/upgrade over the DB11 is the traction control. At first, I thought this is no faster, if not slower than the DB11. However, the traction control is so good, its limiting the power so well you cannot tell its TC working hard. There's no lumps in TC. Almost as good as a Tesla. When I turned the traction control off it came alive..... Holy moly the thing from 100mph to 180mph is seriously fast. It felt as fast as the Tesla Model S Plaid - To sum it up, its the only rear-wheel drive that you can drive like an all-wheel drive. The traction and stability control and the mechanical grip over the DB11 has jumped 10 generations. So imagine a DB11 as comfortable, but more solid, with a stage 2 remap ---- Ohhh and no pops and bangs......

Agree 100% on the looks, I especially like the styling at the rear with the "wide hips" look.

[@TachyonDriver]

There's a cincept which has been used in jet fighters for decades, called HOTAS, hands on throttle and stick; many differently shaped and sized buttons which the pilot, once used to the cockpit can operate by feel and muscle memory, thus keeping his eyes outside the cockpit and thus stay alive by not being distracted, eyes-down. Obviously, when driving a car, one isnt trying to feed a missile up the enemy's tailpipe, or avoid incoming fire, but a saftey element still applies imho. Im not a fan of touchscreens in cars either, especially given the potholed state of uk roads.. your finger bounces around the screen! If youre just flicking a switch or turning a knob then your digits have less chance of slipping off and your eyes are still looking at the road ahead (once familiar with the layout). Cracking video as always, Harry. Thank you sir!

[@ferrariscuderia4290]

At 5:11 its great to watch Harry's genuine delight of the interior. Great looking car from Aston Martin, also love the colour on this one. The only thing that I would have made it perfect is if it had a V12, but that AMG V8 is an awesome treat nonetheless. Awesome review as ever.

I think the car is colour sensitive... I walked past the Aston Martin Park Lane show room yesterday afternoon. They had two DB12's in the showroom, one in all black and one in deep green (I'm sure there is a special name for this green.. ). The dark green looked fantastic while the all black just didn't do the design, curves and stance justice. I feel the same as this silver and black option. And there are better interior finishes options. But they are great cars...

DB12 got the Vantage chassis setup from the firewall forward and the new Mercedes network topology, hence some of the new tech. Having driven one I hated the exterior mirrors the mirror moving as an entire housing I just found annoying, gear selector felt utterly cheap, my knee rubbed on part of the central tunnel and the Mercedes steering wheel has gone very thick unlike the previous one. It drove well though, gearbox is still the 8HP75 so it does limit ultimate torque unlike the DBSS. Harry also forgot to mention that Aston put the ediff from the Vantage on the DB12 to give it greater dynamics. A lovely thing overall, but a few points would stop any purchase (mostly the knee issue). Software updates are still very much a thing with the DB12 with some of the issues.

Harry , Great review .. I am based stateside although I am a Brit and have owned a DB7 , 2015 vanquish and a 2018 DB 11 and this is by far the best Aston I have ever owned , by a country mile . There are a few glitches in the software, which I think Harry was experiencing with the only by wire CarPlay at the moment and the inability to keep certain functions latched off. I am sure Aston will figure this out in short order. I am in the fortunate position to have a 2020 V12 Bentley Continental, GT, and a Ferrari 812, and my comment to all my petrol head buddies was that this DB12 sat firmly at the same table as both of those cars and right in between them. If I was in a position where I could only have one of them and had to clock quite a few miles on it I would actually pick the DB12 and I don’t think that is something that could’ve been said of any Aston in the last 30 years . I am hearing the DBS. Next generation will be announced this year, and it will be beefed up styling as you would expect with 840 hp twin turbo V12… can’t wait for that!

Stiff padding in the seats, hard suspension, too much power, not enough sound, overly aggressive styling - its as though a German heard about an Aston on the phone and made it based on that call. Its good that the interior is nice and I can only applaud them for giving us real controls for the stuff we need but this just doesn't come across as an Aston. This really seems a lot like a trim level on a Mercedes. Calling it a super GT is fine but if its only super and not really a GT then its just another over the top sports car. I think you need to do a long trip in one to see how much of a GT is really is.
