OWNING & DRIVING V8 VANTAGE...
Have had my V8 about 10 weeks now, and it has just been in for its free 1000 mile service, well they call it a service but it is more of a check over of the car, i had a few things for them to look at these included; squeaky front brakes, which they sorted by stripping down all the brakes and this has sorted the squeak! my sim card reader did not work from new and they sorted that too! thats it apart from an annoying rattle coming from behind passenger seat, which surprise surprise when they took it for a drive no rattle to be found! the car is going back to have this sorted next week, strange thing is the rattle only happens early morning and evening, in the day time when it is warm no rattle to be heard! it must be somthing that is affected by heat ie; rubber seal! apart from this car is perfect! and at the moment proving far better built than my Carrera S which went back to the dealer more than 10 times in 3 months! with problems ranging from bonnet alignment to replacment of rear window! think Porsche are trying to build too many cars and as a result are suffering in the build quality department! loving the Aston for not just the looks and noise, but the way other people react when they see it, even the scum bags that would normally shout out wanker, tosser or whatever if you drive a Porsche or Ferrari etc, seem to love the Aston!gett 
ing used to the handling, it corners very flat and ride comfort is somwhere between normal and sport mode in the Carrera! grip is amazing with no obvious understeer, unlike my Carrers S which given the chance loved to understeer! also Aston is a great cruiser over long distances, very quiet cabin, unless you floor it! have had the exhaust valves opened permanently, so from 0 revs it sounds incredible!! if anyone has any qustions let me know....
