New Aston DB11 owner

Hello forum. I am new to Aston Martin having traded in my Porsche 911.1 C4S cab for a CPO 2018 DB11. One thing that jumps out to me right away is that these forums are not nearly as active as the Porsche forum(s). Yes, I know that there are far more less AM's out there vs Porsches, but I hope to be able to pick up some tips/tricks about the car

Aston Martin sells about 3-4% of the cars that Porsche does in a year. Welcome to exclusivity.

Hey, I thought we all had to vote to let new owners in?

Seriously, welcome aboard. There isn't as much traffic, but there aren't as many members. Be sure to post a picture of your car!

I too came from a Porsche (993). While I loved my Vantage, it was not as agile as the Porsche was and in the end, I sold the Vantage and went back to a Porsche. After getting a 996 GT3 and an early boxster I still find myself checking on the Aston boards. This time around it would be an Aston in addition to the Porsches. Good luck with your DB11! It's a great car and has a finished feeling the Porsches cannot quite match.

Hello there. I too were looking for other DB11 owners. They are on here and have great feedback. I love my DB11 and wouldn't trade it for anything I can think of at the moment. Only complaints thus far is no glove box but use to it now, no outside source to open boot/trunk, wish it could start in Sport+ mode without doing it manually each time... That's about it. Love the design. The sound. Beautiful inside and out. Leather is distinguished. Gorgeous headlights. Huge presence on the road. Enjoy the enfotainment center because I'm not a fan of touch screens. I like hands on ***** and switches. The only thing I have done is tint the windows and cermic coat. Drive mine daily. 7k miles in the last 6 months.
I hope u enjoy it as much as I do.

I'm considering having the front grill re-done in all black

Black grill would be cool, or color to match the wheels. Glad to see you have the nice wheels, the other 90% 11's and new Vantage have the ugly directional black machined ones are hideous.

That's definitely your opinion and you could be a little nicer on the forum to the one's who have or like them. Why be so negative. I think they are different than anything out there and roll like no other. Happy Sunday. It's the Lord's day so off to church.

Lovely car. I'm a sucker for a white car anyway.

Porsches are a dime a dozen - and I came to Aston from a long history of Porsche (mostly the older stuff) and BMW ownership, to include a number of M cars. Driving the Porsches and the BMWs was (and is - I've still got some BMWs) fun. Driving the Vantage is an event. Enjoy yours in good health!

Car color combinations are a very personal choice. What may look good to one, may be hideous to another; and I've seen some color combinations that were pretty hideous to me, but I'm sure the owner loved them.

Cannot abide directional wheels. They look like cheap costume jewelry. I don’t care what car they are on, they make the car look less attractive.
