Aston Martin V12 Vantage

First Opinion

Is this the best Aston ever? Just maybe. By fitting a mighty 6.0-litre V12 engine into its petite Vantage, the company has created a car

few machines can rival for character and driver appeal. The £135,000 model is also well engineered, and a treat to spend time in. Squeezing into

the figure-hugging driver's seat is no mean feat, but immensely rewarding. And we can't think of anything with a better exhaust note!
