- The 2007 Aston Martin Vantage 4.3 V8 is one of the most thrilling AND RELIABLE exotics you can possibly buy for least depreciation. If bought correctly, you can enjoy for 20K miles and sell for the same price or more. Catch one on the up curve!

I agree with Zlatan
I get that all the time,:)
Reading between the lines, I think he probably quite likes this Aston! Three years ago I sold my 4.3 manual Vantage roadster in order to buy a flat that fell through in the end and I really miss it. It sounded epic with the roof down. It's also true what Pauls says about the performance. Although not fast by modern standards, it is certainly quick enough to get you into trouble if you don't pay attention, but you can use more of it's performance more of the time than you can in one of it's modern equivelents.
Enjoy your car Paul.
Thank you John
A must view for V8 Vantage owners and those interested in owning one.
Lol, that Aston Martin song is great - I'm going to blast it every time I take my Vantage out - it's exactly how I feel about this car! I do beg to differ about the paddle shifters though - I bought one with paddle shifters after much debate (wanted manual, but my knees are getting bad with age), and am so happy that I went with the paddles. This car is just as engaging and a joy to drive with the paddles, but for full engagement I agree the manual clutch would be the way to go. Awesome video!
Paul, I went for my first ride in a paddle shift version of this same car....ok it was a convertible. I couldn't believe how friggin good it sounded and it could move!!!! I have had the fortune to own quite a few....cool / fast cars...91 and 94 ZR1 Corvette, 1998 Lotus Esprit V8 twin turbo, Porsche 968, Porsche 993 / 911 and the Aston was so cool to me. Great craftsmanship. I am in the process or rearranging my fleet.....I do have a car hidden from my wife....not the 1st time...98 F355 and I want to also get an Aston. It has to happen!!!!! Great Video!!!
Loved your humor and review. I own a 2006 AMV-V8 manual and love driving the mountain roads around Boise Idaho. This is my dream car and it’s perfect in every way.
This was me when I bought my first V8V, a 2009 SS with only 37k KM on the clock.
It's still me with my 2012 V8VS. Great cars.
Love your enthusiasm for the car and your comment about the "magical fuse"! Right on brother!
Excellent review... love your perspective!
I Love this video, so different,passionate and envolving.
You are great💪💣
There is nothing like driving a car with a stick! My father owned a mustang GT, corvette, and BMW, hello even his Volkswagen was as well. Ever since then its been my passion to enjoy having sports car with Manuel stick shift capability. My next car will be an Aston Martin and hell yes stick shift for sure. Thank you so much for your honest review!
Great video. Now I REALLY want one! Looks like a lot of fun.
Fantastic, very inspiring I think I've made my mind up now
Great video !
I knew I liked mine and after your video I now know why. As you’ve said they are great cars and I agree that has a lot to do with having the ability to take full advantage of their capabilities and experience such for longer than you would in something like a Mclaren. I got my 2007 manual six years ago when I retired and still smile every time I look at or drive her. Living the dream.
Zlatan is right. This is a great car.
Since this video, Aston Martin V8 Vantage values have plummeted like a stone
Great video and great documentary,,,,I have a 2008 Vantage just wish I had the roads like you have to appreciate fully my car,,,,I have had my Vantage 4 years now and nothing beats that exhaust note and exhilaration when you connect with the car,,,,,mine is the 6 speed manual and just wouldn’t buy a paddle shift car,,,just personal choice,,,,it’s everything you say and does everything you want it to do,,,,here in the UK we don’t get the weather you have but on dry days this car is awesome to drive and I love it,,,,
I agree having the roads I have access to, really shows where this car shines.
Fantastic review 👍
You can get 50 extra hp by changing exhaust manifolds and cats.
Down shifting to a red light = symphony to my ears an bones!
It's Bridge of Weir leather, might be a bit harder to rhyme though 😂
True!
At $60k your easily into a 2011-12 Vantage V8S with the 4.7L. Much, much better version.
Yup, I paid 55 for my V8VS. 4.3 you can get more around 40-45.
I love this review man! I’ve been considering a 348, but don’t know if I could trade my Vantage in for one. What’s your take on the Vantage vs F355? And why did you sell it?
They're completely different cars and wished I had kept it. I loved the the manual 355 and it's screaming 5 valves. It's pure Italian passion and feels like a go kart. It's all about flying through a corner flat as hell. In acceleration, they feel very similar but the Aston has a nice growl that gives you a false sense that it's a tad faster.
However, if you could only have one, the Aston gives a similar feel in the canyons with a little more comfort and luxury. You can also take it to the grocery store. I love the maintenance free timing chain vs engine out 30K/3yr expensive belt changes too. For value, both manual Aston vantages and 355s should climb. Hope that helps.
355 is a better drivers car. The 355 is one of the best drivers cars ever. The V8V is not that BUT is a stunning machine with lots of character. The Aston is much easier to live with. More accessible more of the time. But a 355 with a capristo is one of the ultimate sounding cars of all time. The Aston is cheaper to run.
Ps a 348 is a cool car. You need to drive one.
Is that the stock exhaust? 😮
Yes
Aston recently announced that starting in 2022 they will not produce any cars with manuals.
😂😂😂👍
wtf....?! lol. at least this vid is entertaining
Apreciate ? Its 20k
20k for a Vantage?
@@greathey1234 its in the 20’s in uk
@@mikemayers9353 a low mileage manual for 20K US dollars?
@@murcimadness you must be slow . I said uk ! What currency is used there ? You must know it , the only one higher than the dollar . Who needs a low mileage aston ? Only idiots buy a low mileage old v8 or v12 car from which parts will start falling off instantly . A car needs to be driven in order to stay working . You buy low mileage and at 80.000-100.000 miles the timing needs to be changed ;) have fun with that bill . Have a great day yank ;)
@@mikemayers9353 never ever buy low klm cars--- they are always junk.
cars that sit- rot
tyres- belts - seals- suspension brakes- but hey - its low klm lol
the vantage is your weekend car. saturday sunday- and you can park it anywhere - unlike other exotics
- 3 years ownership- 2011 v8 4.7.
total 500 aus dollars in parts - genuine aston in service.
totally reliable
you can get a c6 zo6 vette or about 30k that is way faster, way cooler, better mileage, more reliable, more practical, sounds better, handles better.
Hes wrong about the price though. You can get these for 35k or less on Autotrader right now with a manual. You can't get a C6 Z06 for close to that.
“Way cooler, sounds better”!! Hahaha Don’t be a dummy.
Owned a couple of these, horrible cars. Sound great, look great, but not much power, hugely fuel thirsty, with poor electrics, volvo switchgear, poor gearstick position and dont handle that well
If so bad why did you own a couple of them?
@@user-qq2mo1ek2r long story but I bought two on the same day one coupe, one convertible
