I really like the looks of the DB11. The earlier cars were all starting to look the same - good looking but slightly resized clones. The DB11 also has some fascinating details which really work for me. The front end is conventionally handsome but the rest is more adventurous. The vent on the side behind the front wheel and the rear upper panel and light arrangement are particular highlights and even the c-pillar works brilliantly in my opinion. I guess part of it too is the fact it moves away from their existing design language - I think very successfully.

I agree with you. Tall hat, no cattle, i.e. people have a lot to say when they have never even sat in an Aston.

The DB11 was interestingly the first Aston Martin I ever laid my eyes upon and I was blown away. As a result, I have a soft spot for the DB11 as I personally believe that it is pretty elegant. I will say that you need to option it in a dark color since it's not meant to be some flashy sports car. I especially like the Aston Martin DB11 in Buckinghamshire Green.

Got to be honest I absolutely love the looks of the DB11, I personally think it's aged well too. I particularly like the look of the Volante, roof up or down. I'd happily put up with the nowhere near as good as a Bentley interior for the exterior looks alone.

I think the DB11 is one of the most divisive and subjective cars they’ve released. In the wrong colour combination it’s gopping. I’ve seen one in silver with the roof and strakes colour matched and the bright grill and thought it looked a stunner. The two tone exterior really doesn’t suit it.

I agree about that rear end. they made all that effort to avoid a wing or duck tail, yet the latter is exactly what it needs. I simply prefer the old Vantage's coke bottle shape and tail.

Compared to the db9 or dbs it was a huge step back in looks

I was never much of a fan of how it looked online but I saw one in person at a cars & coffee and after having a proper look at one in person I like it a lot more. And I think the DBS superleggera is my favourite Aston Martin ever I love how that looks with the more aggressive style

Bought my launch edition V12 in Diavlo red 2 years ago and I have loved it every day. Great fun to drive and looks so good I sometimes take a bottle of red into my garage just to enjoy looking at it. V12 on sport plus sounds amazing! one of the few cars I've owned that still brings strangers across to comment/congatulate, everyone loves and respects an Aston V12!

Man, I love your reviews. I LISTEN to them back to back on my commutes. I like the way you talk, I learn a lot of the English Language

I think the DB11 looks pretty good outside, but not on the same level as the previous generation. Where I think the DB11 really lost its looks is the dash and center console. It ruins the interior for me. Though, I like the new Vantage interior.

I love the looks of the db11, I remember how special it looked when I occasionally saw a white one on my bus journey to college a few years back

Loved it. Thx for taking me for a joy ride

Great comprehensive review bro

Long time listener, first time caller. I have always loved the lines on the DB. For me, it is the side profile that is unappealing. I feel that the front and rear of the DB 11 still present as an homage to earlier DBs but because of how the rear is sculpted The greenhouse is just doesn’t work. The side profile just doesn’t have the right lines and almost rides to high. I agree that it looks elegant still but not as good looking as it’s predecessors. Keep up the excellent commentary Jay!

I absolutely love the db11 (rag top of course), in particular the front keeps the db9 heritage alive while the back is a refreshed modernisation to finish off the fleeting image of a gorgeous car as it passes you by leaving you clutching that lottery ticket

Wasn't sure about the looks at first, but in the right colour I think it looks awesome. Pearl white with the black roof 👌🏾

Maybe it’s the Bond fan in me, but the DB11 is a work of art to me. Great commentary and video as usual Jay, even though I’m in the other camp on DB11 looks!

I didn’t like the DB11 styling until I saw one in the flesh. I agree with you about the rear and the roof but overall it’s still a pretty car. Not keen on the brogueing on the leather either

Moved from a Booster to a V8 vantage. 12 months later I got the chance to buy a V12 Virage DB9. Had a DB11 as a courtesy car. Sooo pleased to be back in my V12 Virage. Does everything and more. The best ever.

I've always thought a V12 DBS would be an awesome car with better wheels, tune, upgraded turbos, downpipes, and intake would have be alot of fun. Extremely powerful twin turbo V12 and a comfortable tourer. I feel certain it would give the owner "the fizz"

@MISTER SIR tune, downpipes and exhaust, stock turbos removed and upgraded, intakes, fueling upgrades to support the power gains, lowering springs and some nice staggered wheels could probably be done for $20-25k. Yes a lot of money but considering the car's cost and just how much power and torque can be made by the TT V12. It makes between 715-759hp stock depending on the model. I really wouldn't think 900-1050 would be too difficult on good fuel, good free flowing intake and exhaust, better turbos, better fuel delivery, and more aggressive software tuned for more power while sacrificing a little NVH refinement. Which if you could gain 200-300hp wouldn't sacrificing a little be ok anyway?

In times where Porsches seem to be found inside cereal boxes, it's a refreshment to many people to see an Aston (maybe it's different in the UK). Cargo space fits a month of clothes (for two people), Merc-engine is reliable, comfy car to drive for 6+ hours straight and handling is superb in scenic roads around Norway, Montenegro, Switzerland and the likes.

My 87' XJS has a 5.3 V12. I enjoyed the video - cheers.

The DB11 in black in a certain spec is a beautiful car. I came across one when they first game out and what a beautiful car it was.

Excellent video; you are if anything too kind. I tried to fall in love with my DB 11 Volante for 2 years and failed. Its far too wide for town, the interior is undistinguished, the infotainment ghastly; the boot got stuck closed often until Works sorted it and the sound was a bit sad. A pity really as it was pretty and the performance just right. There are a huge number for sale on the Aston approved used website-rather says it all!

I own a DB11 V8 and it is a charm to live with. No issues so far (3y), stunning to look at it and can be a fantastic GT but also a sports car when you want it. I do agree you need the apple carplay retrofit as it takes away a lot of frustration.

First and only ad reel I watched and enjoyed. Genius.

I think it looks good. It did when it first came out and it still does.

I agree that the VH architecture cars looked pretty similar, especially the DB9 and all its spin-offs! (Like Porsche 911). The problem was, the DB9 was such a good looking car, its really hard to change it (enough). From that point of view, I think the DB11 was a real success.

I've had quite a few Astons. I love the older Vantage V8's. Had three of them. Had the new Vantage and loved it, but wanted a GT and had a go in the DB11 V12 and a -17 Vanquish S. It was a no brainer.. The Vanquish S just feels so much more special in every way. But yeah, if I could afford it.... I wouldn't mind having a DB11 V8 as a daily. ;) And thats the thing isn't it? The new generation of Astons are more capable for daily use, and the older gen. really wasn't? Greetings from Norway.

That 'ad reel' cameo at the beginning is hilarious!

Just traded in my 3 year old C8 Corvette for a 2019 DB11 V8. Gorgeous car. Great exhaust note great handling. Not much less power than the Corvette if any other than 0to 60. Car handles great and my Premium interior is insane with over 5 different kinds of leather. 2 tone Dark and Beige with inlays galore. Best interior on any car I've seen. Fit and Finish outstanding. Your complaint about parking sensor shut them off until parking that's what they're for. Same as auto stop shut off after starting.

The DB11 is one beautiful car. Love, love, love the design.

As an ftype owner, I'm a big fan of the DB11s external styling. I like it's muffin top bottom, with the bulging lower and ridged / flat top. The thing I hated about it was the merc infotainment and the engine sound - because (to me) I think touch screens and less buttons feel more modern.. I also feel as though if you're spending 200k on a car it should feel a bit better than a merc parts bin, an amg engine and some pretty features. It makes the ftype look much better value for money and is one of the reasons I haven't looked to get one.

I think the Aston Martin DB11 is a beautiful car from every angle, beautiful shape of the rear lights and also like the headlights.

I agree totally. I daily the last Vanquish (240k km to date and no worse for wear) still gives me a fizz every time I drive it. Great on the autobahn and amazingly nimble on the alpine twistiest I call home. To top it off you get the most amazing sounding V12 especially if valved. ;))

Somewhat like a Maserati, it's tough for me to really feel much towards an Aston that's lacking in beauty. This feels like Aston took the classic, gorgeous shape and sent it to BMW to be "sportz car-ified" with garish slashes/creases/acute angles. It lacks the timeless grace of say a DB9.

The DB11 serves as the first car that throws away everything Aston fans were used to. Beautiful analogue dials were gone, the beautiful screaming V12 sound was gone, the unique door handles were gone, the seat controls on the centre tunnel were gone, the seat control buttons were made of cheap chrome plastics instead of milled aluminium. The doors don't swan as high as VH cars. The DBS Superleggera having the same engine and same interior, pushed 750hp making the DB11 seem like a lame duck, while making the DBS looked really expensive. If they launched the DBS Superleggera as the DB11 with 750hp, it would've sold well. But Andy Palmer was greedy and made two cars out of one, resulting in both not selling well.

Widescreen is very good. I remember cinema in the distance past with tinny advert music and tinny adverts for local shops. Very good.

I am considering a v12 DB11 or a late DB9. Pros and Cons. I think the DB9 is more timeless but I really do think the DB11 is also gorgeous and more usable.

Everyone loves the badge. The infotainment put me off so I bought an M8 😎

When you see an 11 here in Ireland they stand out, great presence. Not many here though.

Yes it does look a tad like the F Type Jag but thats not a bad thing. I loved the styling of that and I love this too.

I have to agree with Jay here. When I first saw the design of the DB11, I was incredibly disappointed.

God how I remember your intro cinema tune. I’ve always wanted an Aston Martin well one would since my second name is Martin. Who wouldn’t.

Well, I really liked the samosa packaging shot; that's cinematic! 😄

The AM Vanquish, DB9, DBS, Rapide were the last beautiful ones. Modern AM design is not on par aesthetically. I suppose it’s difficult to stay with fresh design though, if that’s necessary. Porsche hasn’t needed to with their iconic and little changing 911 design over 60 years.

Love the intro music for this episode. 👍

Real world reality check. Jay, you forget that you are deeply immersed in the upper echelons of automotive beauty. Us mere mortals drool over cars like the DB11 and would give at least seven pints of blood to drive one, let alone own one.

A freind of mine has one, lovely car but my main issues with it are the engine being turbocharged and the size of the bloody thing, it's absolutely huge. I wish they would just keep making db9s, I want one but not as a used car

I love the look of the DB11, especially in the Volante and I particularly like the look from the rear where I think it makes even the last of the Vanquishes look dated. I really don't like the new Vantage though - I don't even think it looks like an Aston. Looks are subjective of course.

I love the looks of thr DB11 - works for me and looks better in real life than in an image.

Love the looks of the DB 11--nice evolution from the older Astons. Miss the dual display of speedo and tach. Almost no other car has the class and panache of an Aston.

The sleek simplicity of it and almost all astons is what makes them look amazing

1969 DBS and DBS V8. The DBS was the 4.0 6 from the DB6 in standard or Vantage tune (SU or Webers). The DBS V8 had a mechanical fuel injection V8 was replaced with the AM V8 (Series 2), same car & engine with the later nacelled headlight front end. When this happened the DBS (6) also got the later front, was renamed Vantage, and stayed on wires wheels until 1973. As you say. A long time ago.

Hi Jay. I have had a DB11 V12 for about one year, and I agree with Chris. A bit heavy and not exciting. That's probably why I moved next to a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 ... apart from the 2 little back seats, all the rest is better...

Tough for me to reconcile a non Vantage AM without a V12, but I do like the looks of this over a few of the old cars, which could look thin at times. But a V12 would be mandatory. If I have this powertrain/interior I'd rather have an AMG GT.

That colour combo is stunning! In silver it simply looks good but this is how it should look. Cheapest here in Au today is £190,000GBP but a nice purple at least.

Seen a few of these in person, colour is important as with any Aston. I'm somewhat biased as i only got my DB9 6 weeks ago but this is nowhere near as good looking. I really like the new DBS though that looks like it has purpose. This kind of looks like an unfinished first glimpse at a motor show.

When it was launched I remember thinking that if it had a Vauxhall badge on the front, I wouldn't have been surprised. It's slightly grown on me, but an F-Type is much better looking.

I like the presence of some styling cues like the awesome bonnet arrangement, but altogether it's not very well mixed. To me the rear came out better than the front, which in turn looks like melting

What an intro! 10/10

Shame that Android Auto and Apple Carplay are not as standard. Love the red colour of this. The interior is very drab in the black makes it look incredibly cheap. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

The DB11 and the DBS are some of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen. If I had the money I would definitely buy one, probably the DBS but they are both stunning

Ah Pearl & Dean how I've missed those ads!!

The start had me chuckle

The DB11 suffered from not photographing as well as it looked on the road. It's a lovely car, the biggest mistake on AM's behalf is they didn't fold away the sat nav and the centre console of the DB11 & DBS just looked a bit tooooo merc. Now they've got a better deal with Merc regarding infotainment I'm sure they can stand themselves apart better. Best colours seem to be bright silver & black. Some of the colourful colours don't help. I test drove the DB11 AMR & the Vantage F1 back to back at an event and the AMR sounded great and the engine felt stonkingly strong. It broke traction easy in third and fourth gear but it also felt massive. The vantage didn't feel as strong but it felt the right size. Just needed the proper hunter grill back on it. The new one they did to try placate the grey haired mob wanting it to look more classic just looks even more like a catfish. Interested to see which direction the brand goes in going forward. The Valhalla looks stunning but unfortunately well out of my reach. Shame OPF's have killed the noise of the turbo'd cars even more since 2020.

I like how it looks, I've always liked both engines, I dont mind the infotainment since I'm young and I would daily drive a citroen mehari if given one. If I were in the market for a car of this kind, I would not skip looking at these.

DB11 is genuinely beautiful. Any angle - perfect.
