  Exclusive!!! - 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
  By Vasi - April 9 - 6:33 am

  I am another Porsche guy that switched to Aston. The last 10 years I had 5 different Porsches including the latest 997 C2S. Exclusivity is the key. Porsches are extremely common and Astons are so special. I know there is a lot of talk about reliability issues but the moment you hear the engine sound above 4000 rpm you forget about all the bad things and you get big satisfaction without even the need to go fast. A very cool car, no doubt!

  I took delivery in May and have had my best driving experiences ever since then. The looks of this car gets almost too much attention, but it is always a thumbs up.

  Love that V8 Vantage - 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
  By bob garvey - March 31 - 1:33 am

  I have to say I love pushing the crystal ignition button, hearing the gutteral vroom that gets me on my way. I love the looks and drive of this vehicle. I previously drove a BMW 540i and I currently also own a Dodge Viper. Have had no major problems with the vehicle.

  AM Vantage V8 is a winner - 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
  By Rasscasse - January 14 - 4:50 pm

  I have one of the first US Vantage V8s and it is a brilliant steer. Definitely better than any 911 that I have driven and the looks, build quality and excusivity are spot on. Well done AM!!

  Simply the best - 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
  By KansasHick - May 4 - 2:20 pm

  I am overwhelmed by the beauty and performance of this automobile. Not easy for a big guy to get into but once seated everything is perfect. In fact, there is almost nothing that could be changed to make the car better.

  A Perfect Sports Car! - 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
  By tdtollie - February 11 - 11:33 am

  I waited 686 days from the date I placed my deposit until delivery of my Vantage. Was it worth the wait? You bet! Ive been driving Corvettes for over 20 years and I love them...but the Vantage is so much more. Yes, the Vantage is expensive, but the style and performance are perfect. The handling on winding mountain roads is incredible. The engine sings and begs you to open the windows and turn off the great sound system. Ive been driving manual transmissions my entire life and nothing comes close to this 6-speed gearbox. If you really love to drive cars and can afford the $$$, I recommend you take the plunge and go for it. I love it! I love it! I LOVE IT!!!

  Finally... - 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
  By praskind - June 17 - 2:50 pm

  An amazing car! Drove Porsches for the past 7 year and this car tops any of them. Beautiful to look at-feels and sounds incredible. I bought mine without ever driving one and I could not be happier.

  Best Of All Worlds - 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
  By DEJ - December 7 - 2:46 pm

  Have owned many sports cars, most recently a 2006 Porsche 911S. The AMV8 is in a completely different league. More beautiful, more exotic, more fun to drive, more comfortable, more luxurious. More of all the reasons to buy such a car.

  Excellent - Best Sports Car I Have Owned - 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
  By GK - May 28 - 1:43 pm

  I have had a Porsche and numerous BMWs. For me, this is the treasured prize. The quality of the interior and refinement of the exterior combined with the reliability I have experienced to date make this the finest auto I have ever owned. One article described it best - it is 95% of the performance and 200% of the "WOW" factor of the Porsche Carrera. The cornering and straight acceleration are a notch inferior to the Porsche, but the pride of ownership and fit and finish ar far superior than anything else. Try it... youll like it.

  A keeper - 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
  By tim s - December 13 - 4:30 pm

  Have had Porsches, every thing from Boxster to TurboS, two 355 Ferraris and a Ferrari F430. This goes way past the Porsches and just under the 430.
