Aston Martin’s rich history is brought to life by a succession of outstanding sports cars. Buying a pre-owned Aston Martin means you are guaranteed uniqueness combined with luxury and comfort.
These cars are equipped with hydraulic speed-sensitive steering and brake pedals which are connected to carbon-ceramic brakes, six-piston up front and four-piston rear. These ensure that the car comes to an immediate halt when the brakes are applied.
A used Aston Martin car can be driven in the sport mode, just by pressing a button in the steering wheel. The sport mode opens up the active exhaust bypass valves of the car for an extreme performance of the engine.
This car is an amazing drive with exceptional mid-corner stability and front-end grip. This can be credited to the stiffer chassis with its low centre of gravity. The car has three-mode suspension system with Normal, Sport and Track settings. This mode can be accessed through a button near the steering wheel. The six-speed paddle shift in the GT fits the character of the car and is a delight to use.
The cabin of this car is exquisite to say the least. The aroma of the leather upholstery, the dashboard and the operating controls are all classic. The handcrafted interiors give the car a very distinct appeal.
Aston Marin also has certain variants of sports cars; the Vantage is positioned as a true sports car. Though there are other Aston Martins which are faster and more powerful, the Vantage’s chassis is the British carmaker’s famed racing platform. This is precisely the reason why Aston Martin offers both a traditional manual and a clutch-based automated gearbox in the Vantage citing that the torque converter transmission will not suit the Vantage.
Many car manufacturers have decided on some type of lever or stalk to operate their gearboxes, Aston Martin however decided years back that it would go for pushbuttons. There are four buttons on the centre console which helps change the gear.
Driving this luxury car is pure bliss thanks to its well sorted out chassis. While it might not attain the speed of other great sports cars, it has a much more important trait and that is character. Many of the sports cars are tinkered too much by the engineers as a result they tend to look the same without much distinct character, well that is certainly not the case for an Aston Martin.
The unconventional parking, unique automated gearbox, the backward sweep of the tachometer needle all contribute to the alluring personality of this car. The drop-dead gorgeous looks, the interiors and the rich heritage ensures that this is car that you will never regret spending the money on.
