2015 Aston Martin Vanquish Coupe review notes - AutoWeek
Aston improves the Vanquish with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. EXECUTIVE EDITOR RORY CARROLL: Like all Astons, this 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish is a pretty car. Unlike all other Astons, there’s something about the way this car looks that I’m not totally crazy about -- I think it’s the headlights, even if I can’t say exactly what it is I don’t like about them. In general, it operates well and shifts quickly, but I had a pretty unsettling moment waiting for the transmission to engage so I could make a left turn in front of some oncoming traffic. I actually had time to say, “Oh, come on. ” before the car took off, and to be fair, crossed the lane before the oncoming driver even had to think about touching the brakes. The only other problem with the Vanquish is that for some reason, the type of kids who spend hundreds of dollars at Autozone buying stuff to stick to their car will do anything to “race you” while you roll down the freeway with the cruise control... If I were in a position to buy this car, I’d have to take that into consideration. ROAD TEST EDITOR JONATHAN WONG: Unlike Rory, I had a low-key night with this 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish.
