There is no telling how many times I'll watch this one over again. Thank you!

I owned Astons for ten years and enjoyed the ownership but accepted that repairs and spares would be expensive. Servicing was reasonable even at main dealers but journeys of over 100 miles to get any jobs done was a pain. The enjoyment came to an abrupt end when a deep puddle caused hydro lock on two cylinders. A replacement, if available, would have cost £35000. I found subsequently that V12 engines can easily ingest water. Luckily after a battle insurance paid out a write off value. Now have an LC500 which I find to be a better car especially the warranty.

Really good episode. Would be nice to see other episodes like it, a walk through of a series of cars that some people struggle to get their heads around or even a generational walk through of a popular make and model. Porsche comes to mind or an Audi RS and S comparison.
TBH, as much as I enjoy the normal fare I actually prefer these different videos, they are a nice treat.

[dadcars]

I could have watched this for 60 minutes, wonderful video 👏 I’ll be back in an Aston eventually, mark my words! 😎

[Mike-sgtl]

Drove a 2013 V12 Vantage manual today, absolutely sensational car.

[HVLOVRSE]

I'd take a Vanquish II because of how different it is to every other VH era car, especially with its looks... in the back specifically

[Simont.]

I have a DB9 and love it. But I do love the look of the Vanquish

[hexgraphica]

The best way to tell an early DB9 apart is to check for the "just woke up bogey" in the corner of the headlights

[jwright]

Wow, incredible history of the Aston Martin legacy for the new millennia! Thank you for this JayEmm. I cannot tell you how excited I am to be a future owner of, given by budget, most likely a DB9. So very excited to feel and experience the roar of a naturally aspirated A/M V12!

My daily Aston Martin tutorial = thank you JayEmm.

I've heard lots of good things about the new DB12 and new V8 Vantage, mainly on the dynamics and the interior layouts. But for me, the dream Astons will always be a Xenon Grey Vanquish S Ultimate Series II, a Flame Orange DBS Carbon Edition, V12 Vantage S in Sunburst Yellow (look it up, it's a fantastic colour), and V8 Vantage N430 in Alloro Green. Maybe with a bonus of Lava Red Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake, an example of which I recently saw in person and oh my goodness it just glows under the sun. VH-era Astons were just the best of Astons. Gorgeous cars, desirable image, fantastic engines, beautiful place to sit in, and they _ACTUALLY_ sells and kept Aston Martin alive.

this video is perfect! this is exactly what we've been looking for

Having owned a 1st generation V8 Vantage, which I found uninspiring, I bought a V12 Vantage in 2013 and I still have it. What a great car, and the sound of the n/a engine never gets boring. Over ten years of happy ownership and never more than a couple of minor quibbles in all that time.

[Fingers_UK]

Great video James. Without trying to sound too nerdy, you didn't mention that anther difference between the DBS and its 'little brother' is that to reduce weight, Aston Martin made extensive use of carbon fibre throughout the DBS. The bonnet, the boot, the front wings, the door opening surrounds and the boot compartment are all made of carbon fibre. The carpets are also made of special thin layers made from carbon fibre.

[imusuallycorrect]

Absolutely perfect timing! On the hunt for my first AM. Thank you!

[JoshuaClaypool]

I've always had a love for Astons, but have never owned or driven one. My current fun car is a Jaguar F-type coupe, and I feel like the only thing I would really want to replace it with is a 2015+ Vanquish. The lines of that car are just an absolute work of art.

[markbellinger]

I have a 2014 DB9 Carbon White Edition! I have loved every single second of ownership, from the 40, 000+ glorious miles I have put on it across Europe to the amazing customer experience I always get at Aston Martin Bristol 😎

[harveytr]

Enjoyed this. Helpful to have all of the VH era info consolidated into one video.

However, you seem to have omitted the fact that blue ones are fastest.

[danmiddle]

I loved the DBS when it came out... but it's not ageing as well as the Vantage/DB9 to my eye. Personally, I think the pick of them all is DB9.2, even over the Vanquish2. It's just the most cohesive design and classically elegant. That said, they're all beautiful!
