Aston Martin V12 Vantage (manual)

[Pip1968]

If I had the space and the money I would get it especially as it is a manual. I would love one. Aston Martin did release a special (I got the feeling one of the last) car in the past 12 months that was a manual with dog leg gearbox.

Bugger all this lazy paddle shift malarky

I agree

I wanted to chop my Csl for v12 vantage it's an awesome super car
In my opinion a different league
It's more a super car toured then a car that can go from the road to a track the drive you back home which is what my Csl does and I guess many others.
What I was worried about is that it's so close to the jaguar xkrs in the sense it's more a gentlemans sports car then us guys who love to drive the nuts off it.
I would be torn
At the time one I looked at in Brentwood am was £89k and they offered me a £40k chop for mine.didnt go for it in the end I thought Csl was worth more

I do like the look of the V12V, but what scares me off as a daily is the fuel consumption. They can nearly overtaking everything on the road bar a service station.

Thank you all for your feedback.

After reading threads like this one, I don't want to trade the CSL :-)
