Audi A6 Allroad is in a different league when it comes to tech and performance. Volvo's playing catch-up.

Volvo wins on safety features. The German brands are not committed to safety innovation as their counterparts.

I drove all of them, and the Volvo was the most spacious and practical. The Germans seem more focused on sportiness.

The Germans will age worse than the V90 CC. The others can date quickly, but this is timeless.
Is the fuel consumption and the cost of maintenance for the V12 Vantage justified?

Absolutely justified. Yet you don’t buy a V12 Vantage to save money on gas. The experience is the point and that V12 has an experience like no other. When you are dealing with a car of this caliber, the maintenance costs are just part of the package.

The V12 Vantage is a lovely thing but the running costs are too much. With the same amount of money, you could have a V8 Vantage as a daily driver and a Porsche GT3 for weekend thrills. More practical and probably more fun overall.

As a owner, I can tell you that the costs are high, but not unreasonable for what you are getting. The car is a low volume, hand built car with a complex engine. If you’re concerned with fuel costs, this isn’t the car for you.

The car is ridiculous, but fuel consumption is not the point of the car. However, the maintenance costs are more difficult to justify. Even for a high end sports car some of the service prices are just absurd.

It's all relative. Yes, it is expensive to run compared to a normal car. Compared to other exotic cars of its class? It's actually not bad. These cars are also appreciating now, so you may be able to recoup some of those costs when you sell.

It depends on what you do with it I think. The costs are hard to justify as a daily driver. As a weekend toy or collector's item? Totally worth it. It’s all about your perspective and you want from the car.

You pay for exclusivity and the costs are high. It's rare to find a car that has such style, performance, and rarity. In that context, I would say it is justified.

I have had the V8 and V12 Vantage and actually the running costs between the two aren't as big as you might imagine. Of course, the V12 uses more fuel, but maintenance isn't that much more expensive. The extra cost is worth the experience.
Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe a car worth the premium over the normal V8 Vantage?
03 February 2025 11:31
Absolutely worth it. As a proper sports car rather than just a pretty GT, the S model feels sharper to handle and offers extra power.
Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe a car worth the premium over the normal V8 Vantage?
03 February 2025 11:31
Nah, save your money. The regular V8 Vantage is fantastic as it is, and you'll get more out of that money spent on some aftermarket upgrades.
Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe a car worth the premium over the normal V8 Vantage?
03 February 2025 11:31
Well it depends. If you’re a hardcore driving enthusiast then you need to take the S. For casual weekend drives, probably not.
Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe a car worth the premium over the normal V8 Vantage?
03 February 2025 11:31
I would choose the S. The fact that the exhaust note is improved for a mere premium is worth it just for the fact that it sounds absolutely glorious!
Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe a car worth the premium over the normal V8 Vantage?
03 February 2025 11:31
I’m honestly more of the thought that it’s more about exclusivity than performance. Really, you’re paying for it. Think of the badge and bragging rights.
Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe a car worth the premium over the normal V8 Vantage?
03 February 2025 11:31
Driving both, the S is far better on a track, but the difference is negligible on the street. Save your cash.
Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe a car worth the premium over the normal V8 Vantage?
03 February 2025 11:31
The S model retains its value better so, in the end, it may actually be cheaper if you intend to sell it after a few years.
Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe a car worth the premium over the normal V8 Vantage?

That extra money would go towards maintenance and mods. I don't have the budget for these cars to be cheap to run so having a buffer is smart.
