- In this video we talk through five of the things I hate most about my 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. I go through some of the irritations that have cropped up whilst doing over 8000 miles in this fantastically powerful top of the range Aston Martin.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this car and I fully admit this is a bit of a clickbait title but, nevertheless, there are still a fair few things that irritate me about it!
Hope everyone is keeping well. Follow PhilDixon9 on Instagram.
5 things I hate about your DBS:
1. Its not mines
2. Its not in my possession
3. Its not in my driveway
4. I don't have it
5. Its not my car
In no particular order=)
Best summary in 2020
Brilliant. Yes, if he doesn't like it - thenhe should get rid of it......to someone who understands Aston Martins aren't perfect. Some people are never happy
Mines?
6. You do not drive it
Best looking car in the world!
The 2007 DBS is a strong contender.
I agree, my personal dream car
F type and superlaggera are my fav!
@Amarjit Singh is said "my".
Open those eyes😂
Yes man! My top 4
DBS SUPERLEGGERA
Alfa Romeo 4C
718 Boxster GTS 4.0
Corvette C8
🏁 OMG 😮 100 miles from a tank of fuel!!! 11mpg 😬 ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING ⚡️
Obviously you really really love the car so it doesn't matter to you, plus you always use 'sport mode' but I am absolutely gobsmacked!
It only has a 9 gallon tank?! That's barely 40 litres... wtf.
11mpg is brutal indeed but sadly I get roughly the same gas mileage from my 2003 SL500..
The yellow isn’t for me - personal preference though, at least you made it your own. Stunning car regardless, congrats 🤩
Remember this: art servers no pratical function. This is a car for the soul
Waiting for depreciation to hit after 5 years. And I'll show up like 'honey, I'm home!'.
One of the best looking cars out there. Stunning
How can it be a GT car if it only does 100 miles per tank?
Depends on how you drive it....if you go crazy it will go crazy and if you go easy then you will do more than that.
Jeez ya that's easily the sexiest aston that I've noticed
Beautiful car, I had old DBS...it was the same with mpg. I have 720...and I’ve never had one problem with mine like you did Phil. But the depreciation hurts I have to admit.
I have a 720s and considering trading into a DBS Superleggera. - any advice?
I don understand how you dont have more subscribers
Quality content, amazing cars and you're very good on camera imo
Keep it up mate!!
I’m sure they will come 👍
@@MoreThanCars I'm sure they will mate! Keep up the good work!
Loving the daily content atm and the helicopter stuff really sets you aside from the other youtubers imo
Well Phil as you know from your supercar ownership, supercar has one purpose to me, it must provoke emotion. Nothing else! Nice content as always.
I'm looking at one of these, but I'm with you. Buying new is a killer. $350k new, would prob get $270k on trade with 8k miles. That hurts. My Lambo went up $60k when I drove it off the lot.
Very useful video for me. Just been talking to dealers about buying one. Your spec is awesome. 11mpg. Not sure I could live with that just from the thought of it. I had an M6 v10 that did 10-11mpg and it really bothered me. The lumpy power delivery is also a concern although I didn’t notice it on my (brief) test drive. Absolutely love the exterior of the car, your yellow black interior is equally stunning.
You may have just talked me out of it. The gas mileage is so bad that I can't imagine going on any kind of a trip without having to stop every hour and a half. And, as you said, the luggage space is obscene. Although you can put luggage in the backseat. Probably more luggage in the backseat than in the boot. And that's ridiculous. I think the Vantage has considerably more boot space
Awesome car, but imho terrible configuration.
I like the zaffre blue color, but the yellow details give it a cheap Clio RS from the early 2000s vibe.
I love astons which are configured as a gentleman's car.
Without the yellow details, it would look so much better.
Imagine this car with a bitter chocolate interieur with mokka welts and contrast, yummy.
More terrible, than the yellow accents on the outside, are the yellow details on the inside, gosh it looks so cheap and aftermarket.
Nonetheless, awesome car in general and I know not everyone has the same taste, that's just my opinion
Great video, Phil. I'm gonna go ahead and say it though - I think Instagram name stickers on cars are a bit... naff. Sorry.
🤣🤣🤣 I would agree 👍
5 things I hate about your DBS: 1. It weighs 4100 pounds which eats gas and brakes. ..... 2. I hate being forced to accept so much "Black Edition". .... 3. It depreciates 5000 dollars a month. ...... 4. The gauge cluster is below standard. ...... 5. Only one 8 inch monitor.
What comes through the most from your video is how much you love the car! I get 25-27 mpg on motorway type runs if I don't go mad. I've no idea how you've averaged 11 mpg over 8000 miles which is what you claim-it's a GT car so predominantly using it for commuting/short runs seems mad to me. Buy a 911?!
Good post. Aston has to get its act together in terms of its pricing as well as cost of spares particularly for its older collectable cars.
That fuel usage would do my head in having to fill up every 100 miles. It must have a fuel thimble 🤣
Bearing in mind this is when using it around town and short trips.... if your on a motorway it’s not that bad. If that kind of makes sense..
AM's quality issues have put me off completely. Better to sick to something else with wings, and I don't mean fannypads.
Tank capacity 78 litres. Let’s say 100 miles on 65 litres for arguments sake. 100 miles divided 65 litres = 6.99 mpg! Leaving it running while filming won’t help.
Enjoyed the video did you watch F1 what a start to the season ain’t gonna spoil it if you haven’t watched it (Mercedes fan). Great vid 👍
I can't stand the infotainment tablet. I wish it could be hidden like on old Astons.
For a Turbo it drinks fuel like the lads at a boozer festival.
It doesn't rev quite as creamy as I'd like for a V12 and it lacks just that bit of baritone raucusness the old models had.
It's missing out on a DCT and it's quite porky.
Other than that it's perfect.
You are braver than me, I was all set to purchase one, but got cold feet the last minute over depreciation and the ZF transmission problem you are mention on problem 2.
What he says of you don’t wanna watch the full video:
1: Depreciation
2: Torque/forward momentum
3: Fuel economy (11 mpg)
4: old infotainment system; lacking apple car play
5: size; practicality
The boot is huge compared to others in its class as a super GT - Mazzer GT, 812 etc - I did a 10 day euro trip with luggage for 2 in my Huracan, get some new luggage!
MPG.. drive a SV to Europe that will focus your mind as double figures are good!
Love love love the yellow bits 👍👍
The real crime is they made such a beautiful car and put a lousy infotainment system in it
How do you cope with speed bumps with the low front spoiler
Otherwise it’s the best looking car in the world. Couple of questions though. Was it worth spending thousands extra on visual enhancements such as carbon fibre badges etc? It’s great without, and cuts down depreciation, and to be fair, the Aston badge is worth considerably more in terms of class and appeal than how much carbon figure you stick on it. Also, it’s got a 78 litre tank, or 17 gallons. So if you’re getting 11mpg you should get 188 miles range, in the tank alone, before considering the extra 3-5 litres of fuel in the brimmed pipes. So is it even getting 11mpg or perhaps the fuel gauge is as pessimistic as the weather man.
interior is so bad and ugly. one single aspect that turns me away from buying this beautiful car
5 things you hate about your Aston Martin DBS Superleggera ?.... awwww poppet ! 🤣
Let me tell you a story about what I think of your car.
"Utterly, ridiculously stunning."
The end.
You should consider doing a video about the previous generation DBS with yours.
OHMSS version looks amazing !
I'm from barbados 🇧🇧 the colours match my flag, lovely car homie.
Hi Phil, this 11mpg malarky needs some sort of ratification, I along with many others await to see the maths behind the science. On another note I assume you run a fuel card for HMRC purposes and that your company bears the fuel cost.
Beautiful car, Great spec!
The DBS Superleggera has a 78L fuel talk which is approx 20 Gallons. If you are getting 100 miles from a tank, that would equate to 5 MPG when you're driving hard.
I have a DBS and yes I have had a few niggles but it is a car that has steadily grown on me. You do need to learn how to drive it and that was a challenge I ultimately enjoyed but compared to my Porsches in the past something I was not expecting.I have achieved 26 mpg on a long run from Scotland to Dorset and generally I have been pleasantly surprised on fuel given the rocket ship performance. Depreciation is a bug bear but I bought the car for me to enjoy for a long time not to pass on to someone else. It is supremely comfortable and that is a change for an Aston. I think the key omission for me is that you can’t raise the front end and speed bumps and ferries/the Channel Tunnel or car parks present opportunities to pointlessly damage your wallet. Otherwise a very special car. Don’t lose sight that the eco fundamentalists are going to kill off production of these types of cars so my advice is buy enjoy and live life; it’s not a rehearsal!
That boot has gotta be bigger than the pasti's, surprised you didn't mention the amount of road dirt thrown into the carbon sideblades??
I was going to mention a design that throws stones over itself.... but I feel this can be stretch into an entire video 🤣
I'll buy one when they upgrade that Mercedes infotainment system
So db11 or this one has more space in back seats and trunk
LOVE this car! i had the pleasure of sitting in one at the F1 final a few years back before they launched as i was in the VIP drivers area and Aston martin were present in full force to advertise this and the new vantage. One thing to note... Visibility is a bit crap too, but who cares lol p.s. I would love to know what camera he is using cos damn!
You obviously have the money to afford one. Look you only live once. And it its a gorgeous car Maybe a Lambo Urus or a Aston DBX 707 or a Range Rover for the SUV. Then maybe a Ferrari 296 GTB as hybrid and a RS 3 Sportback 22 model for here there and everywhere. Anyway that's what my garage would probably look like. Thanks for sharing.
Hate is a strong word to use
Dbs a great car, zagato shooting brake would be a nice stablemate, you know it makes sense!! That would be 4 aston's in the garage, plus the speedster, 5 in the garage.WOW
So one of your biggest annoyances about your DAILY Is that its bad on fuel😂 such a cool car though🤟🏼
Great video! Keep up the good work👍
Carbon Ceramic Brakes Very Noisy,After High Spd.Stops.Maybe Back Calipers Need Upgraded By Aston Martin?
The horse thinks its a MONSTER !!!! :)
Beautiful car, how do you go over speed bumps tho?
This makes me quite sad, but does help with decision. 911 Turbo here I come.
All of your comments are exactly why I decided not to buy one....esp the entertainment system , so I have stuck with my Vanquish S......
DBS superleggerra is not even bringing the identity of "classy man in a suit's car" identity anymore. The beauty and elegance from older aston martin cars are gone. it used to be a car which could get sporty and you could wear a suit in. But in DBS Superleggra, its obviously not. The edges of the body it meant to be looking edgy and striking, which more suited for hotblooded young man rather an mature executives in a suit. The name "Superlegerra" itself is very inspired by italian names. something that very off for a car that origins from UK.
The technology itself, nothing to be proud of to be a "halo" cars from UK car manufacturer. On 2019 on its release year, other car companies are just not researching, but also releasing a full electric cars that has more performance, more eco friendly, but also more reliable than DBS. But instead, Aston Martin is cramping 5.2 V12 to the hood that chugging more fuel than 20 years old mail fan.
I would say this car is not more than sellout move of a brand on a brink of bankruptcy to beg a young executives to buy their cars, because their cars is 'getting boring' and no one buys it.
I think thats why it value decrease rapidly. because i cannot guarantee even a loyal Aston Martin fans are proud with this car.
But despide all that, thank for sharing.
Why you filmed this beautiful car on top of a horrid road with potholes I will never get!!!
Phil, come on mate.
Let me say from the off, I own and drive an Aston but it isn't a daily driver nor is mine a new DBS , that said all Aston's are special. You are in a very privileged position in not only being able to afford this car from new but also to spec it up with some vastly over priced goodies .... Aston over price all extras that's for sure but also you have the means to run this car on a daily basis feeding it's engine with the most expensive fuel we have in the UK therefore, I take issue with some of your points.
Depreciation: this isn't unique to Aston, you have the same thing with McLaren, Lamborghini and many other top brands of cars and you still made the decision to purchase it!
Fuel consumption: I agree it's horrific but then again you must have known this before deciding to run it as a daily driver ... Hardly something you can complain about after the fact.
Mercedes System: completely agree with you on this and it's unforgivable in a car at this price point however, Aston Installations will offer you an upgrade that keeps your car looking factory but adds android auto/apple car play etc.
Please remove the reg from you dash, it's very Fiesta boy racer and not befitting of a car with an Aston badge.
Lovely looking thing. I take my hat off to you because you have to be a proper petrol head to spend 300k on a motor moreso a brand new aston - knowing as soon as you pick up the keys you've dropped 100k. I just couldn't justify that but a lovely piece of kit. That v12 is nice but the v8 merc lump is so good I think I'd be happy with that
How often will you close the hood for soft close?
Aston please have the option on car doors.
Take it to Aston Installations they can fit Apple car play for you 👍🏻
Your car color and spec are absolutely beautiful, and that is coming from a Maserati Granturismo S driver.
Really really marvellous. Thanks bro 🤓💪
I wish I had these problems
I had chosen a car in a similar colour I love it but showed my husband this and when you mentioned about the petrol usage he said NO. I am so sad I can not stand it. We have the most beautiful DB11 and now I am somsad, it broke my heart. I am devastated, I told him you usually drive on super sports but he didn’t believe me. I do not know if subscribing to your comments about other cars but may be.
Just found your channel...!
Nice video! 👍
Still prefer my DB9, the newer Astons aren’t quite as pretty... but holy sh*t this is close! So beautiful (and the interior is a lot nicer, shame about the satnav...).
Number 5 made me laugh though, LUXURY compared to the DB9 boot space! Half as much again by the look of it 😂
DUDE!, come on5 things? You are James Bond!
Love 😍 the color of your DBS.. I always love the DBS it's a great car.
I am more interested in how you managed to pay for it????
"153 Things I love about my Aston Martin DBS Superleggera and 5 small things I kind of hate to make the video more interesting"
At least the rear seat stripes will never wear out.....
Beautiful dream car
this one looks stunning
Is 1 of them because most people mistake it for an F-Type with a bodykit?
For a 200k car, infotainment system is terrible.
Stunning car but why not produce a straight in house 6 with say 400HP at a much lower price cost?
Everything is art on this machine...
what camera are you using?
Thanks for the good video, but please get that camera away from your face just a bit. Lose the stick, get a tripod. Note to Phil:
That blue is going to depreciate even more than a regular colored one, especially with the AMR, er, Polestar yellow bits. You are still soooo lucky to have this to drive.
Because It have a turbo and with a turbo It can still push air even after the user let go of the gas 😂
Bro listening to your complaints, seriously you should have got a jetta. It's like buying an aventador and complaining the child seat doesn't mount properly.
A booster seat works in the SV!
Can I have price of car
Are you going to make your next supercar resemble an Impreza?
Do you like the new Vantage roadster?
Hey , I would like to know your opinion after driving LC500!
Give me your honest comparison in experience!
Q: I saw you coming department.
Carwow
1. Why buy this machine to complain about fuel consumption?
2. Well, I agree on the size of the boot. Useless.
3. Rear seats? THAT car is a Two-Seater, mate. Can't complain about 'rear seats' - those are for minor luggage.
My idiot dad just wasted $400k on one of these for his birthday. Complete waste of money.
Is it yours, or is it the banks?
It's not my 'cup of Darjeeling' I must say.
Deadly car
Beauty
As an Aston owner I most dislike the front, it’s horrible.
What's that colour? 😮🤤
Look on Autotrader, and they're 1 year old cars going for 170k. Seems like McLaren levels of depreciation!
www.autotrader.co.uk/car-search?sort=price-asc&postcode=pl21rl&radius=1500&make=ASTON%20MARTIN&model=DBS&year-from=2018
My stupid dad just wasted $400k on one of these.
I think it’s an insult to people that are capable of earning the price tag of these cars, to then just throw in a old sat nav and more so that it’s just plonked there. And then you think is it the type of people that buy it are just mugs. Because £3k for a badge and then to say it’s been to Q for extras and the extras are just yellow stripes. The buyers are either fools or Aston make fools out of you. If it wasn’t for Bond they would have gone by now. That’s really why it’s bought the shape and bond. Without that the car is not that good. Interior very dated it’s not that fast (fast but put it on a track and it’s not) fuel economy poor fuel tank capacity poor glove box dosnt fit it’s own manual.. They could so easily be the best car in the world but they so much let them selves down. A merc E53 is better really. In fact merc should own it all sack the lot for been so blind and arrogant and make it the car ya think it is. NOW I CAN SAY ALL THIS CAUSE I BLOODY OWN ONE.. trust me the 2021 merc e53 coupe AMG is better so is the GT 63 in fact so is the 2016 Landrover Discovery I drive that more than the Aston.
Hello ifriend!
Let me express iself to you in regard of your excellent video made!
i am adressing to you "ConS" about the car, and give you iprespective about it :P
(remember...it is i own opppiiinnniiiooonnn, not criticizing)
1. About the price ... weelll, if i love a thing, i.e. DBS SuperLeggera, i dont want to talk about the price, if i want it, i buy it, periode :P
2. About the engine ... weeell, one thing is driving a ford fiesta and the other thing is driving a V12 car! We need to get "used to it" ... thats its nature :P
3. Exhaust + Fuel... weeelll, things happen and that´s why they replace that ... eh ehe ehe! In terms of fuel ... daammm, it drinks a lot yes, but we need 2 remember its a twinturbo V12 with 720HP ... and if we "own the car" we have the money to afforrdd its needs :P
4. The infotainment ... no more words, heeheheh, absolutly agree with you!
5. Once again...space/seats/trunk ... cant argue and i 100% agree with you! I could criticize a little bit more, but you were perfect :P
To sumarize this thing about M"i" "opppiinnniiooonnn" ... i was amazed by your car, and yes i own a DBS aswell :P ... and i know what u are refering to, but its like that, diferent cars, diferent engines, diferent ways of experiencing it...and YOUR 5 things that you hate about the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, are the things i love about it (except the 3+4+5) :)
Nothing personal ifriend, just a "chat" btween you and i .
Regards,
EternamenteEnamoradoEu🌈🌈
