There's 4 channels putting up a review on the same car and hands down our Steve gives the best review..

[hughmcneillie]

Great review as always Steve. Really pleased to see Aston Martin getting their act together. They have clearly listened to feedback on the previous models. That cabin and infotainment is a major step forward and looks fantastic. Looking forward to what they do with the next Vantage. Exciting times ahead.

Wow...happy for the company...hope they go on and upward with this...

Sutcliffe and a new AM: Pretty good start of a new day 😎😍

[wasdwasdwwasd]

It feels awesome I know that all that potential has finally amounted to something at Aston. Although it may not look it, this is probably their most important car since the DB9.

If Sutcliffe said it’s the best Aston Martin ever built then it is, so said Lord Sutcliffe!

[julianadams]

Brilliant video, love the DB12.
I had to laugh when Sutters said that the Porsche behind was struggling to keep up. If Sutters was driving a Fiesta ST the then Porsche behind would probably still find it hard to keep up!

" I've got a Porsche behind, struggling to keep up! " as Steve keeps looking to camera and giving a detailed commentary about the car 😂😂😂. " it goes sideways on a closed road! ", you know the kind with broken white lines down the middle 😉🤫🤭🤭. Beautifully filmed and with a quality driver and journalist like Steve, this is the kind of content we want - keep it up Auto Express 👏👏👏

Excellent review and extremely talented driver. I subscribed to this channel as I really admire Steve Sutcliffe's work ...

[ToreHansen]

Great video and car and reminds me of the coolest video you guys have made with the red GT8 on track!

[peo]

As always glad to see another review from Steve

[reynhart]

It's more than a software update about the engine : new turbos, new cams, new coolers etc .. you don't mention either the new diff and dampsters.
Perhaps not a full new car but a deep facelift at least.

[sagetheowlfatfeathery]

Looking forward to the Vantage when it comes out.

[renardthefox]

Where in South of France were uou driving? Beautiful location and roads!

[gregorygant]

The interior is so much better than the old one, it looks sublime !
Great car but out of my price range of 300 K, can't afford this thing !

[omarr]

Thanks for the review, ,, this is probably the best GT car available , the design is timeless and best suited 007 car provided the next main cast is a real man LOL

[dcs]

Looks very nice. Was never a fan of the DB11, as I have the latest DB9.2 and love it's soul....would be interesting in giving this a romp though👍

[logtothebase]

I like the interior, many super cars are defaulting to polished composite, An iPad stuck on the dash and just a few fancy switches on the steering wheel.

[cbotten]

That is a Super positive review for the world's first SUPER tourer. Let's hope the monied masses see it this way too, for Aston's sake.

That car is the complete package, everything I want in a sports car from my favorite brand too
