I cannot believe HOW GORGEOUS this spec is, that color combination, the materials it's amazing, I like this A LOT. Also, I was genuinely TERRIFIED when I saw your hat go flying on the Highway, like my god man, I had never gotten nervous watching a video before and I hoped it had fallen in the back seat. Thankfully you were able to stop and recover it!
I love when creators don’t edit out mistakes like the hat flying off. Great choice keeping that in and also showing the footage from the go pro! Absolutely hilarious miles!!🤣🤣
Hey neighbor! Gorgeous spec for that DB12 but oh man $340k is crazy. DB11 was a lot less expensive. What happened? $340k is now well into Conti GT territory. At the end of the day, I’ll keep my ‘24 LC500 conv. it’s 3 times less expensive, more comfortable and even tho much slower it delivers a much better throaty NA v8 sound. Great review again!

The DB11 wasn't less expensive. The starting price of the 2019 DB11 Volante was the equivalent of $274,000.The DB12 starts at $265,000. Big global event between then and now caused a lot of inflation
Test drove it yesterday…. Color Xenon Grey was amazing .. seat comfort excellent . Top up I felt claustrophobic… long wide hood made yo bit nervous about distances and curb clearances or a manhole .. heart of the beast an Mercedes AMG twin turbo V8 . Interior failed to impress me for something that is “hand made” and stitched together by “ lil ole ladies “ as the salesman said . Electric power steering makes any car feel generic .. I was also told about the magnetic battery tender charger in the “boot” I guess that gives you an idea how many times you’re expected to drive it.. Back seats a joke .. my 125lbs 16 YO was twisted like a pretzel. Miles you should splurge and go to Red Lobster in the Aston .
Great review Miles. Like the presentation style, first person POV + 2nd camera, great insights, entertaining and informative, Cheers, man. Ben

Aston Martin has ended the development of a new V12 twin turbo +800 cv +1000nm
You're so lucky dude to get to try these cars. Literally living the dream. I've seen one in Osaka Motor Show, quite frankly the best looking car of the entire show.
finally been waiting for this since the day it debut
lol that hat with the go pro flying off his head was funny
Gorgeous spec!
Really loving the new gen Aston’s! The sporty focus is more appealing to me compared to a Bentley especially with the redesigned interior. The Vantage would prolly be my pick. Nice review!
Such a beautiful blue car
the entire front end looks truly magnificent
New to this channel. Very interesting and relaxing.

Love the interior.
Another great video keep up the fantastic work. Just a little of topic,a may I ask what Gopro setting you use to get such picture perfect footage with No glare, no shadows or is it post production? I can never get this effect Etc please help....
it’s so pretty!
That has to be one of the best interiors at the moment imo
This car is so beautiful
Best cockpit ever
You are the best car reviewer.
Beautiful car. You are incredibly lucky young man.
That's like exactly the same spec of Shmee's old Aston Martin Vantage :)
Ok so the Aston Martin DB12 does have a soft close door option but no as standard ?
Does this thing have a flat crankshaft? It sounds like it.
I feel you bro. Caffeine gives me anxiety and makes me poop. It's like a scary laxative.
Looks lovely but the satnav screen looks a bit small. I mean I don;t want a Tesla style thing but is the Aston interior a bit behind the times... as was the case a few yrs back?
Plastic switches, piano black buttons, no soft-close doors etc. A car that costs 340.000 USD should have all metal buttons and switches and all the many luxuries a car of that price requires. Especially since the V12 is replaced with a V8 now.
Though not a Bentley or such like, I certainly love the interior. I just adore fine quality materials. Reminds me a bit of the kind of luxury a Maybach would offer. As a mere, lowly Toyota driver however, the only thing I might be a bit irritated about is WHAT - NO HOLD FUNCTION , Lol !!! Anyways, Thanks for the video guys.

That speed alarm is a deal breaker. There will certainly be frustrated Aston owners when they realize the alarm resets each time you start the car.
Hold up… no auto break hold? 😮
That speed alarm would be a deal breaker if I could afford to drop over 300k on a grand tourer. There are going to be frustrated Aston owners when they realize the alarm resets each time you start the car. I feel like the type of person capable of spending 300+ for a car is not the type of person that wants persistent alarms telling them the speed limit.
I like the interior design, but that's about the only reason I would get this over the SL55, or whatever the new one is with Mercedes-Benz. Aston Martin without a V12 seems like a strange choice and if I wanted big front engine I would probably buy a Ferrari 812 instead.
manual windscreen on a 300.000+ dollar car is a little out there, there should at least be a lepricon in the trunk to install it for you

Why are you so critical? The horn, for example, "is crass." It's a horn, bro - I want it to sound crass and sharp to get attention. It comes off as a contrived effort to appear wealthy when people are overly critical of obviously beautiful, well-built products. Some criticisms are valid, but most are neurotic. Try to chill out and highlight what makes the car interesting and/or unique.
