Rory is definitely one of the best current reviewers out there today. None of the fluff and BS that come with most of the others.

[gregspencer]

Aston have been consistently delivering some of the most beautiful production cars in the world for 60+ years. Awesome stuff.

[ArmadaOne]

That moment you realize AutoTrader has surpassed Top Gear in both production quality and their presenters. Love having you back, Rory. Reviews like this make me glad you are no longer with the disgrace that is left after the BBC ruined Top Gear forever. Now we all get to enjoy what you are truly capable of.

Rory I never used to rate you as a reviewer but I have to say you are now one of the finest. Well done mate

[gustavchuene]

This dude's technical knowledge is just amazing. He breaks down technicalities and makes it easy to understand why certain choices are made in the car design and development. Incredible Rory 👌. The first Aston I could buy in my dreams 😂😂

[wwfww]

Some might overlook the importance of beauty in a car but it is truly very important, since i can’t afford a supercar i notice it with motorcycles, to look at you vehicle in the garage or parked outside the coffee shop and to think “what a piece of art, I’m so proud of my vehicle” really fills one’s soul

[SkaMacanan]

I'm not sure how much of the review is written before hand... But I got to say that I really enjoyed how laid back and relaxing this video came out of the final edit.

The choice of music Rory & his team chose for this, made it even more majestic.

Autotrader eating most other channels for quality and poignantly well timed concise car content

The fact that Rory caught two ergonomic flaws is a big deal, not just spitting out facts that make the car look good, thus appeasing Aston Martin. Those 2 flaws might seem small and mundane, but they can affect the comfort and driving experience

[xxphactor]

Rory, I’m disappointed that you didn’t try the machine gun and oil spill feature 😊

[seeingthelight]

The subtle changes to design makes this a beautiful car over the DB11. Previously, I found the DBS (2008 to 12) and Vanquish (pre 2018) to be stunning. The DB12 is the design evolution (interior and exterior) that Aston Martin needed. Rory's review was top notch as usual.

Amazing car, amazing location, amazing host our king of Auto Car world RORY, keep up the good work guys!

[michaellawrence]

Beautiful Aston driven by the best car reviewer Mr Rory Reid

[rossfripp]

Another great review. I feel since leaving Top Gear Rory has been able to express himself properly, and he has matured in a fantastic car journalist in my humble opinion. Great work, keep it up.

[markwoods]

Several videos popped up for a review on the DB12 But the go to is definitely Rory! Great content, information and cinematography. Keep it up Rory. 🎉

[AnonymousGuy]

Looks cool and the upgrades to the interiors are worth appreciation

[kh]

The beauty of the scenery and camera work, the stunning car and a top tier reviewer doing what he does best. All this adds up to a wonderful video that's worth every minute.

[matbishopsa]

What a beautiful car, finally worthy against rivals because of the interior upgrade. Such a shame that the V12 is not an option anymore.

[mrblackbond]

I didn’t even watch the video yet and already gave it a thumbs up! It’s Rory and a cool car! That’s all i need! 🤘🤝

[ibrahimmoss]

Rory presents like Picasso paints. he is sublime.
