Hi, just wondering if it's worth trading my 2010 vantage roadster for a 2012 vantage roadster S? Right after I purchased my car the S became avaliable, and so I was upset that I didn't get one. I like the revised carbon front splitter and rear diffuser, 7 speed gear box etc., is it worth the trade. I there are some very low milage 12's priced aggressively. Any opinions?

 

Roadster S, no question. I went from a Vantage to S and couldn't be happier.

 

depends on the difference between the 2 in price, if it's large you can always add the bits yourself like many of us have. You don't even have to use Aston parts.

 

Interesting. I would easily trade an S for the manual any day. Talk to a couple AM techs and make sure you are fully aware of the issues the auto trans have.

 

There are issues with the old Sportshift 1 system, but I haven't heard of any concerns with Sportshift 2, which is the system in the S
