Car Advice - DB9  

 

"Aston Martin has really nailed it with the latest DB9. This is a much improved and more focused car than its predecessor, a figurehead of English automotive styling with a bit of added grunt."

Men's Journal - Vanquish  

 

"The Aston Martin Vanquish has everything those gaudy Euro supercars have – insane power, tons of technical marvels – and something they don't: English style."

The Motor Report - Vanquish  

 

"There’s no getting around it: the Vanquish is simply beautiful. But the jaw-dropping lines are more than carbon-skin deep. With effortless flexibility, a brilliant engine (and pants-wetting sound), fabulous ride, and sublime steering, the Vanquish will satisfy anyone cashed up enough looking for a super-premium sporting drive. It has space, comfort and quality – we tend to agree with Aston Martin’s summation: the “ultimate GT”. "

Motor Authority - DB9 Volante  

 

"Consistency is Aston's armor and its fontanelle, just as much in evidence in the cabin as in its elegantly drawn skin. Whether it's trimmed in wood or carbon fiber, the DB9's cabin doesn't venture too far from the one in the Vantage or the Rapide. Still, it's serene, leathery, and undisturbed by the growing presence of LCD screens. Restraint would never work on a Lamborghini. It's the franchise here."

Yahoo Cars - V8 Vantage Roadster  

 

"One thing the Vantage Roadster is not short of is rivals: everyone wants to join in the sports car game. But when you pull up on your driveway, lock and walk away, there aren't many that demand you stop, turn around and take one last look before you go."

Evo - One-77  

 

"We’ve been waiting a long time for this. Finally we’re putting Aston Martin’s £1.2million hypercar to the test, with two full days’ driving in the UK, including a visit to some of our favourite Welsh roads." 

- Evo - January 4th 2013

The National - DB9  

 

"This is, by some margin, the best Aston Martin DB9 ever. Unlike some of its rivals, it offers everything you really need and nothing you don't. It feels honed, refined and complete. But most of all it brings total class to the streets and roads of this world - and we can't put a price on that these days.""

GQ - Vanquish  

 

"...what we have here is a 200mph supercar that's better appointed than any number of boutique hotels, cunningly disguised as a piece of kinetic art, with a name like a character in the next Avengers film. Where do we sign?" 

- GQ - December 14th 2012

Classic Driver - V12 Vantage Roadster  

 

"As it’s the festive season, let’s conclude by saying that the new V12 Vantage Roadster is an Aston with all the trimmings. And should there be a 4.4m x 2.0m space under our Christmas tree, we’d be happy for it to be occupied by the company’s most dynamic open car. "
