One of the best-looking cars in the world with a neat electric fabric convertible roof – and this wasn’t some chop-shop drop-top either, the Roadster was designed to be stiff from the outset - says it all really.

Good stuff

The looks, the noise, the drive. The Vantage is truly desirable

Bad stuff

Bitty interior that really feels its age

Overview

What is it?

You could argue that there's a fraction more scuttle shake and imprecision than with the coupe. Or you could just look at it. The second option is the correct one.

What's the verdict?

It's getting on a bit, but continual upgrades by Aston mean the Vantage is still lovely to drive. Not as honed as a 911, but that's part of the appeal.
