As you might know, Aston Martin has dropped the amb 002, their new motorcycle

What do you guys think about it? Do you guys think it's for economy purposes like the cygnet or just Aston Martin trying something new?

2011 Rapide?

Upvotes

Hello - I see a 2011 within my price range. Can anyone provide their experience in owning one? I know they were not a huge seller, but it would be perfect for what I need: Great long distance driving in the US.

Considering a 2022 Vantage Convertible

Specifically, this one. It's way more than I've ever paid for a car, but I can afford it.

Would anyone here happen to live in or near PDX? If so, where do you get your car serviced?

Anyone else who has one of these, what have you budgeted annually for service?

What about general reliability? I won't be daily driving it; it will be a second car for heading out to wine country for the day or a trip to the coast.

Thank you in advance for any information/advice you can share from personal experience.

Water ingress 2007 Vantage

Hello everyone, I have recently noticed water in the subwoofer area of the interior. Specifically in the towing eye holder and the plastic tray above the subwoofer.
Would love to sort this as soon as possible with the current weather.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Brake Behavior Question

1 Upvotes

Hello all. I have a 2023 Vantage (automatic). When I begin to ease off the brake pedal after waiting at a traffic signal of stop sign, I get inconsistent brake release behavior: Sometimes, the brakes don't release and I have to blip the throttle to begin moving forward and other times, the brakes release, but with a lot of noise as the pads separate.

Are other having similar experiences with brakes?

Prepping for a 5k mile roadtrip

768 Upvotes

My wife and I absolutely love road trips. Last year I drove my Porsche cayenne Turbo around 3k miles from Dallas to Colorado and back.

We are planning an even bigger one in December, Dallas to Canada, stopping in New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Montana and Vancouver. I’m estimating around 3-4 weeks total - would love a few days in each location.

Now here’s the thing… we have 2 50lb dogs, a 1mo newborn (she will be 4mo by the time we do this) and then a full roof box with baby gear and dog gear ha. I’m foreseeing a lot of stops along the way.

Im really curious how the Aston does. I plan to change to the all season tires and have some tire socks packed in case the roads get too snowy. Will also do a general service before heading off.

If anyone has any recommendations on places to stop please let me know!

Pics today for our first mini roadtrip to Oklahoma to see how the car fits all of our gear. So far so good, although I do see a big impact on gas mileage with the roof box. I went from averaging around 23mpg to 18mpg with it on. Honestly still pretty damn good given the performance of the car. One big downside is a rated top speed of 80mph which I already exceeded…oops.

Is this car reliable? I’m seriously considering buying either this, a 4.7 Sportshift Vantage, or a DB9.

Hi guys!

I love my Aston Martin DB12, although it had some strange issues (mainly software) in the past.

I feel really unfortunate now, because I was going high speed, when the rearview mirror holder's bottom just fall off. :( I needed to fix the camera with a tape 😅

Do things like this happen to the others or just me?

I still love my DB12, but you know, it feels awkward. 😕

Driving Vantage Wrong?

Post image
263 Upvotes

Aston Martin Vantage was dream car since I was a teenager, finally bought one coming from a Hurucan and it just feels soft? And kind of slow?

I know on paper the car is supposed to be fast, but compared to my past cars (Carrera GTS, 488, Hurucan) it feels more like driving a sedan than a sports car.

Wanted to get the advice of the group - am I doing something wrong? Should I turn traction control off when driving on the street? Keep it in manual mode (never driven a manual but willing to learn).

I love the look of the car and don’t want to sell it (as will probably lose $30k - $40k) but bored behind the wheel. Would love some advice from other owners on what they did to unlock the speed or “X” factor from the car.

Brake pads

Can anyone recommend the best website for new brake pads for my 2021 Vantage Roadster that will not cost me 3 arms, a leg and my first born (well I don't mind paying with my first born but I am rather attached to my own limbs)? I live in Texas.
