This is a car that doesn’t care about the latest tech. It nails the interior, an all about style and craftsmanship.

It's a mixed bag. As far as quality goes, there is far too much, yet common things, such as phone integration, can be frustratingly outdated.

I would rather see a newer interior. It is driver focused and devoid of distractions. Perfect for a sports car.

For me, a lack of modern tech is a deal breaker. What I want is a sports car that feels cutting edge inside and out.

It is adorable in a certain way, but I just can't help but feel that I am being deprived of the luxuries of the newer cars.

Numbers aren't everything. While the Vantage S won’t set any drag times, its naturally aspirated V8 and balanced chassis make it a blast to drive.

It's definitely falling behind. Its performance figures are a bit embarrassing for a luxury sports car, which are being matched by modern hot hatches.

The Vantage S will let you live a lifestyle beyond your car. Not the fastest, but certainly one of the most characterful and engaging cars out there.

It is outdated in terms of raw speed. It still tops of the tiers in terms of driver satisfaction, however. Depends on what you value.

I would say it is more impressive now. A naturally aspirated V8 sports car is becoming rarer and more special in a turbo and electrified world.

Fast enough for the road, as it is. On top of that, it sounds much more pleasant than most modern turbocharged engines.

It is adequate, but not mindblowing. The sounds and looks and feel are still hard to beat, but the overall package is the same.

It’s (REAL) showing its age. A great car, but if performance is a priority, there are better options around these days.

I think that finds the sweet spot. Exciting and fast enough, but not so fast that I could not use the performance on a real road.

It is all the more impressive for the lack of modern driver aids. This is a pure driving experience that is becoming a rarity in these days.
Is it a deal breaker in 2025 that the 2018 Vantage has a less than state of the art infotainment system?
03 February 2025 11:28
It’s outdated, but not a deal breaker. The driving experience is the Vantage, not the tech. Buy a Tesla if you want cutting edge infotainment.

I can say as an owner, it is the worst part of the car. It is so ancient compared to modern systems. While there are aftermarket upgrades, they are expensive and can effect resale value.

I personally don't mind the older system. It is simple and does the thing without too many distractions. Also, if needed, you can use your phone for navigation and music.

(It’s) really pretty bad by 2025 standards, but (there is) workaround. Most of the issues were solved by installing an aftermarket CarPlay module. It's far from perfect, but it adds significant livability to the car on a day to day basis.

The infotainment is certainly starting to show its age, but I would say it’s part of the car’s character. It drags us back to reality that's a little more analog, and we're in a digital world with an analog car. Embrace it!
