#1 of 2 V8 Vantage Problems by production year by voda Jun 06, 2009 (2:24 pm)
The V8 Vantage has been on the market long enough now for most of the common problems to surface. Lets have a list by production year to help others who are looking to pick up a used one. Tell your experiences and the pros/cons of owning the new Vantage. This is a low production vehicle, so its hard to get true consumer information. This is your chance to share your experience (good, bad, or otherwise). So tell us: 1. The problems you've had or know about. 2. The model year and transmission, 3. Your experiences, 4. The pros/cons, and finally 5. Would you buy another and recommend it. Replies to this message: bio900t (Sep 01, 2009 4:12 pm)

Replying to: voda (Jun 06, 2009 2:24 pm) I purchased a Vantage V8 convertible yr09 with paddle shift transmission loved it great handling, fast but wish that I got it with a six speed manual, then went with the DB9 volante 6 speed manual same year. Its faster than the Vantage but does not handle as well by any stretch. Very low miles on both with very minor mechanical issues not involving transmission or power train. I understand the engines are German made and thats why I took the risk with a British made car. These are not Porches and would never expect to use it for everyday driving its garage art. With that in mind I have no further need for Viagra. Am on the list for the new DBS Volante promised late fall, can't wait to report on that one.
