Aston Martin Vantage review

Every new variant chips value from the previous generation, with early cars now at very reasonable money. The Vantage apparently suffered from some electrical gremlins at the start, now solved, and residual values are generally good for low-mileage, well cared-for cars. Be aware that you’re talking about an Aston, though, so group 50 insurance and 35 per cent tax on everything (CO2 figures aren’t the best, with the basic V8 being 320g/km), with equally wilting servicing costs.
