Exactly the feel is there, but it is not as linear and progressive. One can easily get used to you, but when I jump from my electrically assisted car to my pure hydraulic the benefit is immediate.
The DB11 is cool, but the looks... nah. I mean, the front is okayy, but the back... no. Please no. It´s not like they can´t do better, just look at the Vanquish or the Vulcan, those are real stunners.
I had the chance to sit in one of these at the Ignition Festival in Glasgow a few weeks back, let's just say, I had a major crisis. It is now by far, my new favourite gt car. It has class, it has style & it's just cool in general. Great review CT :)
theres a good reason for the old car running 12 years. you can't create a ALL NEW DB and expect it to look better than the outgoing one. it's a timeless and elegant design that will be a future classic imo
Its pretty amazing how far car throttle has gone from just "10 reasons _____ " videos and memes to actually reviewing proper cars. I just gotta say keep up the good work guys!
+casual onion Well what do you expect from a ass? They may be big, flashy, and loud when strained, but atleast they do their job. I for one love the front end of my 88 300zx but the back tailights are just plain wrong.
Alex with Ethan are your best guys to show in front of the camera. Watching a review (or anything else for that matter) without them is like watching new Top Gear....
So, you know why the DB9 has slightly changed over this 12 years of production? Because it didn't need a massive change to catch the eye of pedestrians and buyers. The car is beautiful, period.
The Vanquish still remains the true flagship of the company. That car is just legendary. The DB11 is cool and all, bit the design on the Vanquish is just exquisite.
I like it, a step forward in the styling stakes but they have grown on me. The noise is worth every penny but a shame about the electric steering. Good video and beautiful roads in the Peak District.
No worries here. If it's an Aston, I'll take it. I'll sorely miss the current generation of Vantage once it's gone, however. It's my all-time dream car.
Never watched this guy before, hes good. No annoying voice etc, watchable haha. They chose not to use the DB8, just skipped it. Whether it was the name not sounding too good (as if DB11 does) or something else, no idea.
Because they traded elegance for modern faux trendyness :b Feels like they are just trying out new options, but without a real aim for what they want in the car.
Love Aston Martin, saw the DB11 at GoodWood FOS and its stunning, has a real touch of the One77 about it and the cabin is fantastic, updated and high tech and still Aston, the Aston guys on the stand seemed almost grateful they use Mercedes tech in the cabin now haha. If I win the lotto buying a DB11 would be done in the first week!
What I hate the most about the new DB11: it sits as high as a bloody SUV. Don't know what the designers thought there... The cutouts only amplify that.
Hummm, Still a big fan of Aston but not keen about the new design. The front lights makes the car looks sad, and I'm not sure about the front wheel arches. The dashboard reminds me the first Vanquish, not really sexy. Not bad at all but the DBS and v12 vantage remains the post 2000s most beautiful Aston IMHO. Anyway, Aston is still so classy !
I wasn't sure on the DB7 when it came out, then I liked it. I wasn't sure on the DB9 either, then I loved it. I wasn't sure on the DB11 when the first pics were released but then I saw it in the skin.... oh shit, the DB11 looks good! It's a definite grower and looks a million times time better in person. Change is always difficult, but I think the new car is fantastic. Aston just seems to be going from strength to strength. All they need to do now is start winning their category in the WEC xD
***** I was in a different mindset when the DB7 came out. I was a massive fan of the old Vantage with the twin superchargers... as great as Aston are doing right now, I kind of miss their old 'cathedral' approach to super-GTs.
The only thing I don't like about the DB 11 is the rear end, it just looks awkward, the vanquish rear end looks better. I hope they fix the look with the new Vantage and Vanquish.
I work so hard every day just to make ends meet. I work so so very hard.. Seeing this car is bitter sweet.. Knowing I will never in my life have it.. Thank you for the video! this is the closest thing I will get to aston martin bliss!
downsizing does always suck, since it shows the manufacturer has given in to nonsence eco-mentalists. Anyway, the DBS is better in every single way (appart from the power but 510 is plenty)
Klopapier Halter if you drive a 600hp car, you don't tend to care about the environment, that's the whole point it makes no sense. if you buy an eco friendly fiat twin air or something alike it makes sense
I appreciate that the DB11 has moved the game on in all the right areas. But I would still take a late model year DB9 and especially a DBS over the DB11. The DB9 is timeless looking, absolutely a future classic.
That front lower splitter needs colour coding I reckon. Looks weird like the bonnet is floating. Interesting car, didn't like it much in the flesh to look at, never driven it though, I'm sure it'll be better all round as a drive!
I'm probably in the minority but i really like it both exterior and interior. Older Aston interiors always felt like dinosaurs to me. This actually looks like it belongs in 2016. Not a big fan of turbos in general but if its less reliant on turbos then good.
The DB11 looks okay. The rear is hideous, but the front is beautiful. In my opinion, the DB9 is the most beautiful car ever made. It's a hard one to beat.
Car throttle can u please do a video on the best fast and cheap insurance cars a young driver can get because I cant decide what car to get when im 18 year old.
Idk what he was saying about the looks I love the new look because though all astons are beautiful, they also all look extremely similar because aston has found a formula. this car breaks away from it a bit while still being unmistakably an aston martin. in my opinion the vanquish is the best looking aston but the db11 is right behind
Motoring Journalist Rule #114: always claim electric steering is worse than hydraulic even though nobody can actually tell which is which.
But you can. Easily.
Agreed.
yes you can, aside from the missing fluid reservoir and pump, the feel is there but not as good as hydraulic
Exactly the feel is there, but it is not as linear and progressive. One can easily get used to you, but when I jump from my electrically assisted car to my pure hydraulic the benefit is immediate.
and dont even get me started about no power steering old school cars lol
Am I the only one who likes the new rear end?....Yep, probably I am.
i think this car is great. better than the db9
TBH I love the looks of it.
I don't get why people say it's ugly, it's magnificent (also the rear looks like an infiniti)
nope, you're not alone....
Nope I like it too
The worse downsize of 2016 award goes to the 718 Cayman & Boxster duo!
Who agrees !
I love how the old phone was hardly even damaged when he drove over it yet a brand new smartphone would probably smash into a thousand pieces!!!!!!!
loool I thought exactly the same 😂
...
Probably was a Nokia
+Marius Muller nope, that was Sony Ericsson W800 (W series for sure)
It's mainly due its shape and the low contact surface though
The DB-9 looks much better, they should of put the DB-10 bond car in production instead
DB-10 bond car will be the replacement of the v8/v12 vantage.
oh cool, didn't know that
Wonder what would replace the legendary vanquish?
Wonder what would replace the legendary vanquish?
Aldrich Lat could they even make something better than the vanquish
when he drives over the phone, it takes NO damage 😂
So will the smartphones.
same thing with smartphones, you shouldn't expect more then a tiremark because of how the weight is distributed through the wheels.
Except you could hear the plastic crack when he drove over it. It may look fine, but it isn't.
+Dawid Sopata there is a video about a guy who drive Ferrari 458 into iPhone 6s and the phone doesn't even scratch
+Dawid Sopata Did you even see both videos, the so called, "I'm not stupid"?
This is best DB11 review, best color, insanely brilliant location, best camera work, great host. How the hell did you make this??
I ain't watching a review without alex
liar
+South4153 grow up
+Anton Kalliokoski it's funny cause you're the childish one here.
+South4153 I'm the childish one? who was it that started the argument?
+Anton Kalliokoski haha look i don't care. believe what you want to believe. byebye
The DB11 is cool, but the looks... nah. I mean, the front is okayy, but the back... no. Please no. It´s not like they can´t do better, just look at the Vanquish or the Vulcan, those are real stunners.
One-77 too
Agreed
Indeed
Yeah, it's more faster
Except jb's db5
I had the chance to sit in one of these at the Ignition Festival in Glasgow a few weeks back, let's just say, I had a major crisis. It is now by far, my new favourite gt car. It has class, it has style & it's just cool in general. Great review CT :)
Reppin the Los Pollos Hermanos gear, Gus Fring would be proud! Walt...well not so much
I think DB9 GT was and is one of the most beautiful modern times car ever...
theres a good reason for the old car running 12 years. you can't create a ALL NEW DB and expect it to look better than the outgoing one. it's a timeless and elegant design that will be a future classic imo
Meh the old one looks better
alfa's look better too (:
Lol,no.
i think this one looks amazing.
So do i
+Ilija Kocev but my fav aston martin will always be the dbs:)
Its pretty amazing how far car throttle has gone from just "10 reasons _____ " videos and memes to actually reviewing proper cars. I just gotta say keep up the good work guys!
How is it possible for something to be so beautiful from the front and so hideous from behind? HIDEOUS!!!
I agree with you
I agree
It's rare to find a car with a nice rear.
if you find one keep it lol
+casual onion Well what do you expect from a ass? They may be big, flashy, and loud when strained, but atleast they do their job.
I for one love the front end of my 88 300zx but the back tailights are just plain wrong.
4:03 Hands (or fists) down the funniest moment in a car review I've ever seen. I'm in stitches 😂
The aerodynamics on this vehicle is spectacular. Awesome review
Alex with Ethan are your best guys to show in front of the camera. Watching a review (or anything else for that matter) without them is like watching new Top Gear....
Hopefully when I grow up I'll get to own this beast or get a newer model if they make more
So, you know why the DB9 has slightly changed over this 12 years of production? Because it didn't need a massive change to catch the eye of pedestrians and buyers. The car is beautiful, period.
I love Alex's reviews but I really enjoyed this guy's.
Good stuff!
I miss the crystal key ignition, that was the coolest part of the interior and made it so unique for me.
The Vanquish still remains the true flagship of the company. That car is just legendary. The DB11 is cool and all, bit the design on the Vanquish is just exquisite.
That shirt though! Mr. Fring approves.
I like it, a step forward in the styling stakes but they have grown on me. The noise is worth every penny but a shame about the electric steering. Good video and beautiful roads in the Peak District.
No worries here. If it's an Aston, I'll take it. I'll sorely miss the current generation of Vantage once it's gone, however. It's my all-time dream car.
Never watched this guy before, hes good. No annoying voice etc, watchable haha. They chose not to use the DB8, just skipped it. Whether it was the name not sounding too good (as if DB11 does) or something else, no idea.
those wheels are just so perfect, not to big, not to small, not to fussy a design
I can't put my finger on exactly why, but to me, the car looks Chinese...
Most cars look Chinese now adays with their thin head/tailights
Looks more Korean to me, like a Hyundai or Kia.
Because they traded elegance for modern faux trendyness :b Feels like they are just trying out new options, but without a real aim for what they want in the car.
It's the headlights!
4:10 he's probably got more than 1 use for that
Looks like it needs lowering a couple of inches? There's a lot of space above the wheels in those arches.
Love Aston Martin, saw the DB11 at GoodWood FOS and its stunning, has a real touch of the One77 about it and the cabin is fantastic, updated and high tech and still Aston, the Aston guys on the stand seemed almost grateful they use Mercedes tech in the cabin now haha. If I win the lotto buying a DB11 would be done in the first week!
What I hate the most about the new DB11: it sits as high as a bloody SUV. Don't know what the designers thought there...
The cutouts only amplify that.
Not fond of the rear side window treatment, kinda think the previous car was a more pleasing design in that area....
The car is perfect in almoast every way but no turbo can match old Aston's V12 scream.
Great video Matt!
Lovely videoagraphy, lovely shirt. Brilliant video
Hummm, Still a big fan of Aston but not keen about the new design. The front lights makes the car looks sad, and I'm not sure about the front wheel arches. The dashboard reminds me the first Vanquish, not really sexy. Not bad at all but the DBS and v12 vantage remains the post 2000s most beautiful Aston IMHO. Anyway, Aston is still so classy !
Can you guys make a video about the fastest manual production car you can buy nowadays?! That'll be great.
How kind of Alex to give you an exact replica of his fist for the review, he really thought of everything!
I don't think it looks as good as the db9 or dbs but I still looks quite good
That shirt though ! Any Fring fans here ?
the rear should be bulging up used to be the look of Aston Martin, not slanting down like the Jaguar.. the wide backside is awesome nice to look at..
its like a db9 and a bmw i8 had a baby and i love it
I wasn't sure on the DB7 when it came out, then I liked it. I wasn't sure on the DB9 either, then I loved it. I wasn't sure on the DB11 when the first pics were released but then I saw it in the skin.... oh shit, the DB11 looks good! It's a definite grower and looks a million times time better in person.

This was such a well done review
I work so hard every day just to make ends meet. I work so so very hard.. Seeing this car is bitter sweet.. Knowing I will never in my life have it.. Thank you for the video! this is the closest thing I will get to aston martin bliss!
That has got to be one of the best looking cars ever. I just Love Aston Martin.
downsizing wouldnt bother me if they took advantage of the shorted stroke and raised the redline, sad to see they didnt
downsizing does always suck, since it shows the manufacturer has given in to nonsence eco-mentalists. Anyway, the DBS is better in every single way (appart from the power but 510 is plenty)
I don't really see how caring a little about the environment is a bad thing
Klopapier Halter if you drive a 600hp car, you don't tend to care about the environment, that's the whole point it makes no sense. if you buy an eco friendly fiat twin air or something alike it makes sense
***** teslas are even worse, but that's another story
+Alexander Thompson ever heard power to weight ratio? Ever noticed that small cars are quite nimble around the corners?
never go full Pony yes of course i have, but in a something that's designed to be a gt car, 510 is plenty, even the 420hp from a DB7 is enough
Is the Alex fist available for purchase?
finally you reach 1 200 000 beacouse of me a im the 1 200 000 subscriber hope you continue with the channel i love this channel and the videos
I like the vents above the front tires. It's a smart piece of engineering but I think small rocks will mess it up in a few years.
I never thought about it but good point.
i imagine that if you can afford one you can afford to repair the paint
Yeah, but affording is not the point. When you get a ride that expensive, you don't want it to break in a few years
Imagine if Aston puts the Vulcan 7 little V12 on the new Vanquish, that would possibly make the best Aston Martin ever
Haha I know those roads well. Good job Car Throttle.
I appreciate that the DB11 has moved the game on in all the right areas. But I would still take a late model year DB9 and especially a DBS over the DB11. The DB9 is timeless looking, absolutely a future classic.
i was hoping that db11 would had looked like db10 because it's gorgeous but not like i could ever afford AM anyways
But does it have bumper to bumper warranty?
Not sure if I watched top gear or carthrottle
Either way, awesome review
Beautiful landscape, where was that vid recorded at?
Finally!! A serious review
That front lower splitter needs colour coding I reckon. Looks weird like the bonnet is floating. Interesting car, didn't like it much in the flesh to look at, never driven it though, I'm sure it'll be better all round as a drive!
I love the Mercedes-Aston team up. Imagine the 4.0 TT V8 out of the AMG GT in the new Vantage
The Alex Kersten Fist Test!! All hail!!
no mention of the shifter paddles not being attached to the steering wheel? good luck shifting through a tight turn.
Gorgeous at every angle
the back looks a bit like the i8
***** nah not ugly just different
I don't really like the rear
Can't wait for the new vanquish. It ll be 700 HPs then ? That's bloody good.
I'm so happy Edgar Allen Poe and Shakespeare's baby reviews sports cars now.
I love your shirt, Matt ;)
(The chicken brothers)
Nice car, and a very nice scenery to drive it in! But i still think the DB9 looks better though.
I'm probably in the minority but i really like it both exterior and interior. Older Aston interiors always felt like dinosaurs to me. This actually looks like it belongs in 2016. Not a big fan of turbos in general but if its less reliant on turbos then good.
This guys is GOOD. REALLY good.
Would be cool if you guys could get your hands on the 7-Speed Manual V12 Vantage S
I need that hand! For research purposes...
The DB11 looks okay. The rear is hideous, but the front is beautiful. In my opinion, the DB9 is the most beautiful car ever made. It's a hard one to beat.
The front looks good. They need to work on that rear.
@0:54 I am not a progressivist, so changes have to be offer a benefit worth a change.
This is my favorite car in this price range
I think the front 3/4 view is gorgeous - better than the DB9.
But I hate the rear end. Looks like a Ford C-Max, a little.
1:33, the quality of the old days
Car throttle can u please do a video on the best fast and cheap insurance cars a young driver can get because I cant decide what car to get when im 18 year old.
I like the guy reviewing this.
Where was this filmed? Breathtaking location!
Castleton in Derbyshire. it's a lovely place with some amazing roads and scenery to match. was a bit windy though!
I know looks are subjective but I think this thing is gorgeous, just as pretty if not prettier than it's predecessor
I like the looks of the new DB11!
I love the Bala pass
love this vid, gives me a top gear vibe
Early DB9 is still the best looking DB model ever! The second is DB6, third - old DBS.
I think a snicker bar could fit nicely in the door pockets.
Idk what he was saying about the looks I love the new look because though all astons are beautiful, they also all look extremely similar because aston has found a formula. this car breaks away from it a bit while still being unmistakably an aston martin. in my opinion the vanquish is the best looking aston but the db11 is right behind
this back road is amazing
How about that infotainment screen that it is out of place?
Downsizing isnt always a bad thing as seen on the new AMG GT. It has a smaller engine but more power than the sls
i really wanna see someone put anti-lag kit on this car.
Love the shirt!!!
Not a big fan of new sports cars but this is a nice car
The DB9 GT looks way better in my opinion. Plus i guess you can't have it with a stickshift..
I can't afford it anyway so it shouldn't bother me. lol
