  1. This comparison was for price so that’s why xkrs and vantage was fair and xkrs against vanquish would be stupid

  2. i totally agree with you.. v12 always been my favourite engine… when a car manufacturer put their biggest engine in their smallest car, you can’t really expect anything less..

  3. Steve, I’m sure the Jag wouldn’t be beating the Aston in a straight line if it also had a supercharger. Did you forget to make the point that this wasn’t a fair comparison due to the Aston being naturally aspirated? Don’t get me wrong, i did enjoy it, but this really was slightly pointless. Oh, and the Aston sh!ts all over the Jag in every other facet as a sports car.

  4. I feel that a comparisson of the XKR-S with the Vanquish(or DBS if it was still in production) would have been much more appropriate.. The Vanquish and the XKR-S are much more similar in terms of dimensions, horse power, torque and car dymamics..

  5. Vantage V12 is £130k as opposed to XKRS Coupe at £97k, so not a comparison unless you just want to put them side by side in a drag race. Not a good review though putting a convertible against a coupe

  6. I don’t care how much power the Jag has, I’d have to have the Aston every time. Also odd to compare a drop top to a coupe.

  7. manual better than an automatic??? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha maybe faster in some cars… but better??? NO WAY!!!!!

  8. why not pit the Jag against the V12 Vantage, or at least the V8 Vantage S?

  9. i don’t know about you, but Aston’s grill looks dull and outdated these days. I would prefer the XK.
