Today on the channel I am driving the second generation of Aston Martin's flagship Vanquish - launched in 2013. This is the car that replaced the DBS, which in turn had replaced the original V12 Vanquish.
Even amongst afficionados, the Vanquish is often overlooked, particularly these earlier six speed examples - but why? More importantly - are they any good?

The crazy thing is this car is now over a decade old but in terms of styling, especially from the front 3/4 view it could genuinely have been released this year and I wouldn't question it (the rear's lack of a lightbar dates it a little, but I personally like the style). It's an absolutely brilliant piece of car design and for my money a far better looking thing than this year's DB12!

I will probably trade-in my Rapide S for a Vanquish when my daughter turns 13 (about 3 years from now). I love the Rapide for practicality but it weighs 550 pounds more than the Vanquish and the exhaust opens up about 500 rpm later (at ~3,000 rpm). It’s a perfect intro to exotic car ownership, though because I never lose traction and can enjoy that glorious V12 sound year-round

I was at a party being given and attended by very affluent people. I was outside getting some air, when a guest pulled up with a DBS from the Casino Royale era. All of the valet parking staff lost their minds, including the women who were working there. The women generally don't get impressed by cars, but they were by this. I'm also blown away by the exterior, but having sat in one, the interior is deeply disappointing.

Just buy yourself a Vanquish or DBS, James! 2 years ago your videos helped me decide on whether to buy a Granturismo, Vanquish or DBS, as those were my top 3 choices. I decided to go with the Maserati, as after 20 yrs of Porsche's, I desired to finally own an elegant Pininfarina Italian super model, so I went with the lowest mileage 2017 Sport in Grigio Granito/Cuoio that I could find. I can say that I honestly have zero regrets. BUT, I still search the classifieds regularly to see if a DBS or vanquish pops up in my perfect spec. You only live once, buddy, and you've already had your fun in the F12. I personally believe that the Astons or the Maserati suits guys like you, and I better than anything from the prancing horse. Good luck from across the pond and best wishes on your Quest, my friend!!

There's a 33k mile 2013 Vanquish up for £53,500 at the minute in a great colour combo and spec. The second gen Vantage from 2018 have always depreciated like a stone due to the styling and Mercedes heavy interior. Tht's why it's been replaced already with a newer model.

@BangAverageRider 2 месяца назад

Yes thats the Vanquish i saw it was priced over 60 only a couple of weeks ago, i dont have the money for it but have been watching them but with the next gen Vantage going for 60 could this be the better option as i worry about the running costs of a 2013 Vanquish over the Vantage

@SW-by9ob 2 месяца назад

@@BangAverageRider Potentially, but that would likely be offset by the lower depreciation on the Vanquish going forward especially if bought well like that black example? As a daily the Vantage makes a lot more sense, but as a car for more limited special use the Vanquish has it beaten hands down for me.

Great video as always Jay!! Staring across from North America I have to admit I do get jealous of the over supply of Astons in the UK, the prices here across the VH range is still relatively high because of lack of supply.

Jay based on your previous review of the Vanquish I bought a later 8speed Carbon edition last year and it is awesome. I love the styling cues from the one-77 and the sound of the V12 is awesome.

A coupe GT (For the manual gearbox) in a dark colour with cream interior. One currently on AutoTrader for £50k. My perfect colour is the light blue (apparently Mendip blue, didn't know it, but looked it up) with the cream interior.

For the 60k question it would have to be either the DBS for its stunning looks, or a V12 vantage with a manual.

@mcc5901 2 месяца назад

I set the Autotrader search for Astom Martin...price up to £60k and there were 350 Astons fro sale.....they used to make that many a year at one stage didn't they???? Like you I have noticed that the price of a Vanquish 2 has dropped...and I do like them a lot....even though I have just got my DB9 I am keeping an eye on the prices! I do like the red colour too!

I'm lusting after the new DB12.

I always found the DBS to be a little too similar to the DB9, though comparing it now to the Vanquish that replaced it, I can better appreciate its more classic beauty, and it certainly looks more athletic than earlier DB9s. But I'd say the Vanquish better matches your shirts....😁 , it's the newer car so likely to be the more resolved drive, with an improved interior, so would get my vote.

Needs to be the facelift with the ZF transmission though

Hi @Jay, I've been watching your channel for a while now, in answer to your question, as someone who has access to an aston (4.3 Vantage, Manual) I've been looking to buy my own. The £62995 Vanquish on autotrader is my dream to be honest. I'm a couple years shy of budget to buy it however. I have however decided, I would have to buy 2014 onwards based on your previous videos where you've talked about the DB9 & vanquish. I also like the blue DB9 for 40k on autotrader, however I know if I buy the DB9 I'd still want to get the vanquish eventually being honest. Love your channel, I own a Range rover - Know they are not your favourite but we can still be friends right?
