Used Aston Martin V8 Vantage for Sale near Foothill Ranch, CA

It is not an enjoyable ride. The car requires to much manual assistance from the emergency brake to the transmission type. The air condition system was average and the noise level to high for my taste.

Good: Most beautiful car available. Even prettier than the DB9 due to smaller proportions. Good handling, a little too soft for my taste, but very settled when going fast. Feels better in open spaces, rather than twisty canyon roads. Amazing exhaust note, best factory sound system in any car I've head. Bad: Feels slow and lethargic. If the car ran as it sounds, I would have kept it. Drove the 2009 and they really improved it. Numb steering. Vanity mirrors looked like from a toy make-up set. Plasticky, cheap that distorted. If they are going to put something there, make it worth it.

Better than if not superior to any Maserati, BMW or Mercedes 4, 5, and 6 class. Luxuriously affordable, sticks out in a crowd full of “house hold” brand names. This car misses in its reliability however; prone to expensive maintenance. The bigger the engine, the bigger the problem. Lastly, the V-8 4.3 and 4.7 liter manuals are hot, but underpowered. Still a great value and look for an affordable “Sunday” or (V-8) daily driver.

I find it doesn't have the immediate put your head in the back of your seat power, but having said that it does drive very fast, comfortable fun. Very sophisticated, elegant and gets looks every two seconds someone is waving or thumbs up. Takes some time to get used to because drives different than your average sports car, but when you do it is a lot of fun!

the interior is beautiful, suede headliner. nav system is pop up door handles are a little weird but you can get used to them. performance is awesome, but it should have been a v12, but the car was built from its racing heritage. overall impression, definitely worth the $130k sticker price.
