Aston Martin DB11: Full Review - Carfection

The Aston Martin DB11 is a leap forward for the luxury manufacturer and will be the platform that all future Astons are built on. But what is it like to drive?

Many people complain about the the DB11 body lines and interior but I think it is pretty awesome.
Anyone agrees?

One of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Incredibly striking.

Those slow-motion hand gestures were actually really helpful and visually pleasing. Nice!

The db9 was a tough act to follow. They nailed it with this one. A timeless Modern interpretation of an aston, that respects the past, is identifiable and curters to both new and old customers.

not really an Aston Martin fan but God that is a beautiful masterpiece

I've fallen in love with this car

As an engineer´s perspective.. Man. what on earth, I mean. Engine, design, size. Since Aston started, I do really get moved by the type of cars they create. Though, Porsche is my beating heart, what a beautiful timeline of Astons they did.

Theses videos are so perfectly made. Congrats on the cameramen and video editors.

I like to see Alex review these. I think he's the best reviewer out there. He should have got Top Gear.

I love how Astons are still making pure grand tourers. They're pretty much the only ones doing it these days.

Brilliantly informative but engaging review and great cinematography.

If you are not a fan of the DB11 check out the Vanquish Zagato. I think this car is nice, Astons always look out of this world in the flesh on the road. Really looking forward to seeing the next vantage as personally I prefer smaller 2 seat sports cars like the F-Type.

Always a pleasure to watch carperfection videos... 👍

Beautifully filmed guys not to mention spectacular location... Cant wait to see more like this

This is proper car journalism dissecting the car for exactly what it is as opposed to driving down two A roads then concluding your opinion on a short twisty race track against "competitors"

Probably the best colour I've seen on the DB11 so far, still not sold on the shape but this colour shows the shape in its best light for me. The wheel design seems too thin though, but who cares with that noise

Test drove it on Saturday and it definitely looks better in the flesh. Feels a lot bigger and the lines look awesome. This particular colour doesn't show off the lines as well as a pearlescent white or James Bond Grey. The drive is sublime but I do think it could have done with an additional comfort mode below GT mode for the ultra comfortable cruising ride. The sport and sport plus modes really stiffen the whole car and the noise is just beautiful. Externally I don't think the car can be faulted. It's by far the best looking GT on the planet. Internally, the reviewer is right about the TFT screen. It looks out of place and by now Aston should have really gone for a touchscreen display that is integrated in to the dash. The centre compartment is powered by a electrically sliding top which makes a funny noise and should be more silent. The rest of the interior inc leather, seat comfort, seating position is sublime. In terms of comparison to other Astons, this is lighting years ahead in all round build quality. Aston may have caught up to current rival manufacturers such as Bentley with this model. However with the new Continental GT due out based around the EXP, it could fall behind again. In my overall opinion they've got it almost right with still a few niggly annoying bits that could have been done better considering it's a £180k car.

This is honestly the best looking car I've ever seen.
