Does the Aston Martin Vantage (2018) earn the premium over its rivals?

It's a tough call. Overall, the Vantage is surely beautiful and provides a unique level of driving experience. Objectively speaking, however, cars such as the 911, or even the Corvette C8, will outpace the speed of the Z4M and cost less money too. It all boils down to how much you respect the Aston Martin brand and aesthetics.

I use my Vantage daily and it’s quite good. It's decently visible, practical (more than you think), and the suspension is firm without feeling punishing. It also makes every commute a special ride.

Not as a primary daily. Simple errands are a chore because of the limited storage space, terrible rearward visibility, and attention it draws. If you keep it as a weekend toy you will enjoy it much more.

The impracticalities are actually quite good as a daily if you can live with them. It’s a comfortable car for long drives, the infotainment is okay and it’s not as wide as supercars thus it’s a bit easier to park.

I’ve had mine daily driven for a year and it’s been great. Yes, yes, a 911 is terribly practical, but a 911 is a hell of a lot more usable than most folks assume. It’s surprisingly spacious in the boot and rides compliantly to be a daily driver.

I would not recommend it as someone who tried to drive Vantage daily. It becomes old very fast when all you’re staring at is keeping the front splitter from scraping and the attention it draws.

It’s a good daily, but not for an ideal one. The biggest problems for me are the lack of visibility and the constant paranoia of parking lot door dings. However, if you can overcome that, it becomes a great daily driver.

I love my daily and use it. It has its quirks, but the car makes each drive an event. However, you will have to be prepared for frequent fuel stops and many long conversations with strangers at gas stations.
Is the DB11 a better choice than a Porsche 911 Turbo S for a premium?

Absolutely. There is nothing else that turns heads like the DB11. There is no price tag for that feeling.

That depends on what you want. For pure performance, go Porsche. For style and presence, Aston all the way.

I've owned both. Every time you get in the DB11, it feels special. The 911 becomes just another car.

The Aston is the one you dream about, the Porsche is the better all rounder.

Neither. For the same price as a new DB11, you can get a used Vantage and a base 911.

If you appreciate craftsmanship and exclusivity, then the DB11 is worth it. It's a different league.

I would pocket the difference and take the 911. It’s the smart choice through and through.

The Porsche is more of a tool, the Aston more of an event. Depends on your priorities.
Is the Yamaha MT-15 V1 worth the premium over its competitors?
03 February 2025 06:13
Absolutely worth it! The MT-15's handling is on another level. It feels like a much bigger bike when you're riding it. The premium you pay is for that refined engineering and the confidence it gives you on the road.
Is the Yamaha MT-15 V1 worth the premium over its competitors?
03 February 2025 06:13
Nah, it's overpriced for what it offers. You can get better value with bikes like the Apache RTR 160 4V, which gives you similar performance at a lower cost. The MT-15 is just paying for the Yamaha brand name.

03 February 2025 06:13
It depends on what you're looking for. If you want something that stands out and has that "big bike" feel, the MT-15 is worth it. But if you're on a budget and just need a reliable commuter, there are cheaper options that'll do the job.
