2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe Review
So is the new 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage the best yet? Undoubtedly. Aston’s approach of continual development has produced one of the best cars in the company’s history. The updates result in a fine blend of ride and handling, while the muscular 4.7-liter V-8 powerplant is simply storming. It might still not have the measure of a 911 Carrera S dynamically, but it has just taken a very big step closer. Add those gorgeous looks and that seductive badge, and the 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is even more desirable than ever.
I had forgotten just how much luggage space there was in the Vantage.While I can quote the specs at 300 litres boot capacity, practically, there was space for four soft bags, camera equipment and a small Esky, and that’s without utilizing the considerable shelf space behind the driver and passenger seats.
