The car is brilliant, especially in terms of design and engine, but it's a small scale production and they don't have the means of Porsche, Mercedes, Audi (great but not perfect though) or Ferrari and therefore aren't state of the art when it comes to gearbox, transmission and brakes.

The worst part is the gearbox who is notoriously unreliable and many models have issues around 20,000 km.

It's really upsetting to put 100 k€ in a car to have the reliability of a 80' Lancia.

That being said I love Aston Martin, they make awesome cars. Probably the best car body there is to date.

But if you're looking for engineering perfection, get a Porsche 911 Turbo.
