NEW Aston Martin Vantage: Road And Track Review By Henry Catchpole - Carfection

[@Ollie_5]

With Catchpole now on Carfection, i'd say these are the best car videos on the internet

[@johnv4866]

I agree. Sutcliffe and Harris are not putting out content as often, and I liked Jethro's content better before his switch to Motor Trend. That leaves Henry as my favorite presenter and Carfection as my favorite Channel.

[@john1999reis]

Ollie for sure, especially now that motor trend has gone all commercial

[@justinevans1894]

Ollie definitely, Henry is a terrific presenter. Need Jethro on board too!

[@matthewhafer1894]

Once again, Catchpole showing why he's the best in the business.

[@tannermerrill]

Matthew Hafer agreed

[@veshn229]

He should Join Chris Harris pm top gear. They're both amazing.

[@telemaster]

Lordy Henry does great reviews.

[@avishardutta2578]

Good that your review is out already. Now I don't need to bother with the others.

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

That car is STUNNING. Great review as always, Henry.

[@Cosmic_Gypsy]

So calm yet enjoyable. I'm talking about the video. 👌❤️

[@SEAN518848]

I feel carfection is trying a lot of new things in this review. Very successful.

[@verybigwhale]

Again, Henry and the chap behind the camera are killing it.

[@igortusca637]

The quality of the video is amazing. So well produced, and Henry as always very calm but interesting.

[@picklejelly26]

Welll....homework can wait

[@allensaunders449]

The embargo on reviews of this car is over they are all dropping now. But this channel has wonderful cinematography and henry

[@LDN13Y]

What a fantastic review! Carfection living up to their name with this video and Henry Catchpole presenting!

[@bscott77]

What a review!!! The production quality and cinematography is broadcast quality. More of a tv show than a KZbin channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ytm1992]

This is one of the best, if not the best review on KZbin. And the car is gorgeous, would love it with carbon-ceramic brakes and sports exhaust, the sound... sweet Lord

[@petrolburners]

Stellar work Henry, thank you

[@alexm4515]

Dear Henry, I wonder, what good deed did you do in a previous life to deserve such a great job? Wonderful review and great camera work/editing.

[@humphreybradley3060]

Well done Henry another A++ review. Keep them coming!

[@TheUnorthodoxGears]

Best reviews on KZbin!

[@rare6499]

Great review - awesome car. In the right colour combination this is a stunning car. Not a fan of the bright coloured lip and rear diffuser for example, but that’s all optional. Personally I think it looks brilliant. I wish AM all the best. They deserve it, their products have arguably never been better and they have such a broad range of cars now for such a small company from the continuation cars, amazing modern road cars and right up to the Vulcan and Valkyrie. Pretty damn impressive.

[@joshuafallet5690]

Yeah a forest green with vintage gold wheels and a bright orange accent would be cool though and a nice throwback to their older racecar liveries

[@Petrolhead_1]

The best video about the new Vantage. Awesome work.

[@TGE]

Love this content 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@IndianTrainSimulator]

Fantastic review with great cinematography! Carfection is love.

[@Schuey_M]

Great review Henry, clicked on yours straight away and ignored the others in my list. I like how you mentioned Logan, as we know there's a resemblance ;)

[@ryanmelendez6162]

This is the first his videos I've seen and I'm hooked!

[@guydudley9705]

Just needed to whip a PPK out of the glove box Henry! Epic video as always fellas.

[@ianj7528]

In some angles, the front reminds me of the 2nd gen Mitsubishi Eclipse

[@adri.gl3]

I got used to it, and now for me is one of the most beautiful cars of this generation

[@newmotoring]

Press the red button! Cracking video Henry and co. 👏

[@colin5577]

The new Vantage looks spectacular in the flesh, even though it can look a bit odd in print and video. Can't wait for the manual to arrive.

[@seymorebutts2478]

Carfection is the pinnacle of car reviews. Really enjoyed this review. Not sure of that Miata looking front end; definitely looking forward to the face lift. It’s kind of lost that Aston prestige look and feel with those chav design colours and blacked out roof.

[@joachimpearson4892]

It's been a while, has the front end grown on you? and have you seen any specs that are a little less chavvy?

[@rishavroy1368]

It's been even more of a while, but I think with the different, more classic, grill option they've added, and in a more subdued colour, this thing looks ace.

[@CarlosOliveira-cj3iz]

Your videos are really fabulous... Algarve looked better than ever!

[@1chris311]

This is the best video you guys have put out to date! And that vantage!! What a car! Well done carfection!

[@NotAvailableEmotionally]

Henry​ always delivering the best!

[@jimbryan74]

Love the car. Top review again. Had one a week now and there’s nothing in the review to disagree with so far. Great fun.

[@xetexuk12]

Great review, brilliant reviewer, brilliant car, cheers Henry. Absolutely gorgeous back end imo. Stunning.

[@robertl2856]

Yours was the best review thanks

[@Patr1ck2332]

Simply amazing and massive want 🙌 - production quality is of the highest order and Henry’s delivery. Wow

[@shotsfiredandmissed9068]

This is more like a promotional video than a review video, but there are very few channels here on KZbin that scream quality like this. Good job Carfection crew, and Henry Catchpole

[@ace-lo1nq]

Like the direction that Aston Martin take in its aggressive styling. My dream car.

[@amigodesigns]

As always, amazing video production!

[@bwhobackk]

Thanks for another great video, Henry. Keep up the good work!

[@Mikeysnelgar]

Another great review from Henry, god I’m glad this car is as good as it looks!

[@AntoniusTyas]

I woke up early and I am not disappointed. Henry pulled it off again.

[@pjvenda]

Superb video; loved to see the details of the cut-out car and the in-town night shots. Also nice to see a different place to Sintra for the street part of the test (I reckon Aston is more responsible for that than Carfection is). Henry is, as usual, flawless. I hadn't even noticed the camper van before it was pointed out, must have been distracted with the review.

[@truthseeker2587]

Henry catchpole is one of the best reviewers with his calm cool vibes. Intelligent young man.

[@Svartasvanen18]

I thought the button on 4:18 was just a cover for a 12V socket. Maybe red so you can find it, since they tend to be lost on old cars.

[@SwiperNoSwiping458]

Like the rear end but overall the previous vantage looked much better.

[@SwiperNoSwiping458]

Scratch that. Just watched more of the video, don't like the rear. Also the front looks terrible. Looks blank of any details and lights too small.

[@unphazd5137]

@@SwiperNoSwiping458 This vantage looks much better

[@stillsearching1284]

I love your Logan reference. It made me understand hiw good you think ths Vantage is. If only I had $200K.

[@TomNelsoninCowtown]

Thank-you for letting me experience this amazing machine vicariously! Upon arrival here in Calgary you've convinced me I need to make time to pop by the museum ... er ... dealership ... for a viewing. Reading before, betwixt and beyond your words I perceive a work of art wherein the whole exceeds the sum. Ok - lime green notwithstanding. BTW, there's a typo in the last sentence of your description; "Find out ... IF ... that AMG engine is worth all of the controversy". tn

[@klasseact6663]

Why are the headlights so damn small?

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Klasse Act MX5 style

[@Andy-pu2iv]

I can't stop seeing that too. Not that I don't like an MX5.... But this is an Aston!

[@ALMX5DP]

I think it might be due to crash regs. Front bumpers and hoods are getting lower and lower and in order to fit lights that cohesively work with the design, they have to get slimmer and slimmer. See Mustang and now Camaro, both have similar things going on to lower the front.

[@zGJungle]

Agreed those lights have no place on an Aston, you buy an Aston to get an Aston face, not an MX5 face, shame because the rest of the car is stunning.

[@eventusvantos2770]

you guys are seriously blind if you mistaken this for a miata. Sure if you don't like the looks of it that's totally fine but it looks nothing like a miata. Miaita grill is very different and its lights are way more pointy compared to aston's round lights. The Aston looks more like a baby Vulcan... A shark on wheels.

[@0041Mavericks]

The grill and headlights really ruin the look of the car for me. Such a shame as the last gen looked so good. Great video as always though.

[@trim105]

It actually looks much better in the flesh but beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say

[@alexstachossubero7282]

i thought the same but overtime it won me over. Just try to let it sink in and you’ll get it

[@wormfood868]

I actually had the opposite experience, I liked it better the first time I saw it, and less so now.

[@scufrecords8356]

Last gen looked a bit boring to be fair

[@issesandberg9673]

Alex Stachos Subero me to

[@NickVee12]

My favourite car reviewer (escapee from Evo) who's writings caused me to dig deep for a previous V8 Vantage last year may have just bludgeoned by wallet again! Wow - am I glad that the new Vantage was pulled off so intelligently by AM. Congratulations to AM for a great new lease of life to the Vantage name, and to Henry for another wonderful review.

[@MrNemo721]

What a fantastic video of an amazing Aston. Car-Fection indeed!

[@rjs15570]

Excellent video and photography. Does the Vantage come with the emergency rear facing machine guns or oil slick?

[@b_mb4948]

Very good review Henry. The Vantage suits you well *;)*

[@freud2695]

Looks like a Corvette or front end of an MX5/Miata or a flattened front of 90's Supra. Doesn't look enough like an Aston. IMO.

[@richjohn9356]

Great work, Henry and always

[@maestroadam]

What a magnificent review! That green outline in the first car is TERRIBLE, though.

[@yorkshirepuds]

Quite an expensive option too, that green detail is part of the 'Exterior Graphics Pack' which is only available with the carbon fibre 'Exterior Body Pack'... so you can save a few grand if you don't like it.

[@rogerpreece7762]

Superb review. Fantastic information and in the real World on the public roads. Makes a pleasant change from plus/ minus half a second round a track.... Who cares? Love your work fella. Thanks Roger

[@dojix96]

I absolutely love how it looks but I can't shake its similarity to the MX-5 ND

[@TheBucketOfTruth]

What a wonderful design. I haven't driven them but this looks like it compares pretty favorably with its estranged sibling the AMG GT.

[@michael007ish]

Amazing work yet again!

[@BadlyDubbed]

This is a great channel.

[@vish91]

If I have to be brutally honest I'd have the older Aston over this. Not sure exactly what it is, I'm sure this is better in about every aspect, but the old is, just a lovely thing!

[@youtubezone7074]

Henry Catchpole is the best car review presenter 😘😘😘.

[@gustafrenstrom8549]

No one makes reviews quite like you. and the car is stunning, i would give anything to own one.

[@Gochsener]

really high quality stuff you deliver

[@charlesschwab7651]

The duck tail deck lid with the tail light integrated is incredible. It’s such a shame the front end looks so bland. The grill is fine but as you move up the car the body lines are too flat and blurred looking. It doesn’t really match the rear of the car at all. I hope this isn’t the over all design language for Aston Martin’s front ends across the line for the next 15 years like the last model lol.

[@DouglasRosser]

Sexy British chap. Sexy British automobile. Tell me Henry, when you tootle down the street in this thing, do the ladies rip off their clothes or does their kit just fly off on its own accord?

[@ChyanSie]

Amazing review and cinematics. Subbed!

[@mnemonicabyss]

You actually got the quad tip sport model, sounds so much better than the other reviews. Did you actually say Kettle of Fish? What on earth does that mean lol.

[@dexxboii3080]

Vantage vs F-Type SVR vs 540C Battle of the Brits

[@stevesstable1276]

The new Vantage is so beautiful that when I went to view one it took only a second to say I want you. Love at first sight. I bought it in Onyx Black.

[@ssflipallday]

Like the Watchmen reference. Great movie

[@jackspencer5676]

I was just about to go to bed...then this. Absolutely glorious.

[@MGA19a]

THE RED BUTTON HENRY !!!!! :-))) ... Great review ... ( btw. @carfection -> like your podcast as well - pls put it on i-tunes as well ( that should be no problem right ??? ) pls ;-) !!!

[@MrCampey]

anybody know what the hidden red button actually does at 4:17?

[@TangoR34]

I want to know what you actually said on the part about the camper van.

[@renorzeta]

That sound are Meanie . i like it. and it look really shiny on streets.

[@enqane]

They should have had borrowed more from the Germans. Look at that panel gap 3:08

[@benbschr]

enqane horrible panel gaps on every single tester ive seen

[@keklas69]

I wonder if its pre-production model and how they can resolve the fit and finish

[@AnDuKn0Thi5MaN]

I’m conflicted....it’s got a German engine, a German transmission, and looks like it came out of Japan...I’m sure it’s a great car from a technical standpoint...it’s just not an Aston imo...I say this as a young man in his late 20’s. I’m all for progression but with this car it just feels like they’ve thrown heritage completely out the window. People didn’t buy the vantage because it was faster than all of its rivals in a straight line, or had the balance of a ferrari, they bought it because it was beautiful and had a soul....

[@bballplayaa1]

Great review as always, Henry! I am just curious what are the direct competitors of this Vantage. It's funny how the MB 63 AMG S with basically the same engine and better looks (in my opinion) is almost twice as cheaper. I would think the Vantage is more of an AMG GT, Porsche GT3, Audi R8 competitor but it seems to me that all of them are slightly more interesting and make more sense than the V8 Vantage. I think the V12 version (if there is one) would make more sense and would sell more than the V8.

[@HenryCatchpole]

I can see your point - on paper the Aston perhaps doesn't look like it has much of a USP. However, in terms of driving, it is definitely a contender. I would say it is more of a 911 Turbo rival than a GT3 rival, but the others you list are all certainly competitors too. Perhaps the McLaren 540 C and NSX as well. It's quite a crowded segment at the moment!

[@bballplayaa1]

Henry Catchpole Appreciate your reply ... and also the little campervan info, since it's closer to my budget than the Aston.

[@Xyzabc998]

Excellent review.

[@PL-fh8cz]

A comparison review of the AM Vantage and the AMG GTR would be interesting since they have been developed separately but share some mechanical components. My opinion... To use an analogy, the AMG GTR looks like a rugby boot whereas the AM Vantage looks like a sprinter's shoe.

[@sideshowbob32]

Great review on the Aston mx5!Love the sound, but those exhausts look like pea shooters!

[@DCTag]

Henry is the best!

[@z-collector7518]

Nice video. This Aston looks like the next gen Honda 2000!

[@andresluzunaris1084]

Make it simple Henry, just say that it looks like a Mazda MX-5, zoom zoom!! Lol Well review as always.

[@bananajib]

Andres Luzunaris Bwoah! It really does.

[@Uns46]

its a Miata hahaha

[@eventusvantos2770]

Andres Luzunaris you guys are seriously blind if you mistaken this for a miata. Sure if you don't like the looks of it that's totally fine but it looks nothing like a miata. Miaita grill is very different and its lights are more pointy compared to aston's round lights. The Aston looks more like a baby Vulcan... A shark on wheels.

[@mirzadaullymun7129]

[@soubido]

I really don't see the resemblance...

[@paultaylor701]

Well done Henry. Fab.

[@CrispyOkra]

I can't stop noticing the panel gaps after it being pointed out in another video. Guess I'll have to get it in black 😉.

[@ryhanchoudhury1023]

I want this. A return to form for Aston Martin.

[@hf7188]

Great review, once again in Algarve, I'm surprised how popular it has got. About the car.... I can't shake the looks, it's not a hideous car by any means, but why that gapping mouth of a grill, it puts Peugeot from the 00's to shame, with the headlight design, it looks like a new upcoming Supra with a broken front bumper. I wish they would give the option of slats like in the db11, bringing it closer to the db10 concept.

[@knighriderredux]

Thank god a proper review

[@ellis3547]

Gotta love Bradley wiggin’s car reviews.

[@benendesc3931]

This looks incredible . It's the best looking Aston and maybe the best looking car of the year . People don't realise how they don't just slap the amg engine in there they do work on it . Also like Porsche , Ferrari and many others you can replace the plastic in options with carbon or metal

[@Whiters8]

Great review/film, Henry et al! As for the car, I’m sure I’d love driving it, but it’s just not hitting the mark in terms of Aston desirability for me. Perhaps their previous design language was around too long, making the change more difficult to accept?

[@paulinthailand]

i live in thailand and the starting price for the bottom of the range vantage is 460 000 gbp. due to import tax

[@abhishekmohan2594]

This is a perfect car. It does not look fancy like ferrari which gets noticed everywhere. Just wow, This is a very sweet looking beast.

[@ValWasTakenWasTaken]

One of my favorite cars and THE favorite presenter combined, all is good. Edit: 5:03 They say Finns are cold but I think I felt an emotion there
