Aston Martin Vantage
Anyone on here own (currently or in the past) a Aston Martin V8 Vantage. I LOVE the look of this car but need some feedback on how they are to live with. I know they are not the best performing cars in their class but certainly have to be one of the best looking cars around.

You can expect about 15mpg around town and 19mpg highway...but if youre considering a vantage, then mpg doesnt matter. The clutch takes getting used to in manuals, the paddle shift is kinda clunky in auto mode, and the car doesnt exactly feel nimble. Despite this, i absolutely love my aston and would not hesitate to buy it again. 2009 and up has the updated engine and has higher reliability marks. If you want performance numbers, there are GTR's and 911 turbos for that, but let me tell you, every time i drive my aston, it feels like a special day...like youre filming a music video lol.
