Car and Driver
The Aston Martin Vantage is a sharp, driver-focused sports car with a Mercedes-AMG-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 503 hp and 505 lb-ft of torque. It accelerates to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and offers a beautifully balanced chassis with quick, communicative steering. However, the interior borrows too much switchgear from Mercedes, the ride is stiff, and rear visibility is poor. Still, it's an exciting, gorgeous grand tourer that rivals the Porsche 911, though it demands compromise in comfort and usability.
A
Auto Express
In a long-term test, Auto Express found the Vantage to be one of the most beautiful cars on sale, with explosive performance and a bass-heavy soundtrack. It's genuinely usable daily, with decent comfort in Comfort mode and a surprisingly spacious boot. Criticisms include an outdated Mercedes-sourced infotainment system, some subpar interior plastics, high running costs, and tight cabin storage. Despite electrical niggles, the engaging handling and charismatic character make it a rewarding sports car with soul.
R
Road & Track
Road & Track's first-drive review highlights the Vantage's playful, aggressive character. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 delivers 503 hp with a ferocious exhaust note. The hydraulically assisted steering provides immense feel, and the stiff chassis with adaptive dampers controls body motion well. The tail is eager to step out, but the car is communicative and forgiving. The interior is criticized for Mercedes-sourced switchgear and a cramped cockpit, yet the pure, engaging driving experience makes these flaws easy to forgive.
