Aston's finely honed and fun roadster

Aston Martin's limited edition Vantage N420 may be £8k more than the standard Vantage, but it's worth every penny.

The Aston Martin Vantage has never had trouble upstaging its bigger, DB9-based brothers, says Andrew Frankel in The Sunday Times. "The V8 version is cheaper and more fun to drive, while the V12 Vantage is just as quick." The smaller Aston has always been the better one.

The latest model is the N420 "a version of the standard car that has been lightly worked over with the aim of sharpening up the driving experience". It will also cost you £8,000 more but "it's worth every penny". It is a "finely honed road car that would acquit itself well at a track day" and is "a ball" to drive.
