HOW TO DRIVE THE NEW ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE (2025)...

What's up YouTube it's your boy Will Motivation back again with another video and today we are talking about my Aston Martin Vantage 2025 We're gonna do a quick how to drive video on this vehicle. So if you're curious or maybe one day You plan to drive one. Maybe one day you plan to own one in this video We're gonna show you how to operate this vehicle and and drive it. So with these Videos I like to start with the outside and any functionality you need to be aware of on the outside And then it will go into the inside of the vehicle and how to operate and drive the car So let's get started. All right. So the first thing I like to do is show you guys the key So this is the Aston Martin Vantage key. There's a little push button to pull the physical key out On the sides. It's a little textured Aston Martin On the side you got your lock at the top That's how you lock it that I actually turn the car off from running unlock You hit that That'll open up the little look how it opens up the door handles Right there. So that opens up the door handles. That's how you unlock then you hold this button right here That opens up the trunk. That's a little trunk button at the bottom So here's what the trunk looks like just in case you've never seen The Aston Martin, so this is a 2025 in Aura Green Sage green is what they call I see the Aura sage because they have the interior and exterior have different names Got your your little car charger which charges with a little connection right under there So you got to cut up car charger a little bit of room back here probably enough space to fit one human body If you're into that And right there you got this little thing that you can push down right there If you need a little extra space in your trunk to lay something down and have it go to the cabin I like having this up for some reason. It's real nice and sturdy very well put together Construction. There's a little pull-down strap right here to tug on that and Close up the trunk So that's how you open the rear trunk and you do actually have a rear trunk Even though this is a two-seater sports car a lot of sports cars that I have Now or have owned They have no trunk. The engine is usually in the rear like on the Ferrari f8 or the Lamborghini Huracan Technica that kind of thing now Beautiful rear diffuser. That's custom by the way We just got that done got dual exhaust in the rear with two Two Exhaust pipes to fill up the gas All you have to do is make sure the car is unlocked and then you push on that one time And then you can fill up the gas here. You do want to use 93 octane because this is a twin turbo vehicle. It has the Mercedes-Benz I It has 656 horsepower which is plenty and it has I think 600 foot-pounds of torque or very close to 600 Foot pounds of torque so when you drive this car you want to be very careful when those turbos kicks kick in and the really nice thing about this car the way it drives is It pulls and pulls and pulls like all the way to redline And it has a nice v8 growl, so it's a v8 engine as well if I didn't mention that Other things you need to be aware of when the outside of the car When you drive this car is it does have parking sensors it does it does have cameras all the way around So that's your front camera right there You can see it your parking sensors as well. It has Adaptive cruise control man. This is a nice car really nice car Has your cameras underneath the The mirrors the side mirrors you got cameras of course you got your reverse camera as Well right there in the center. You can see it Reverse camera, so you got cameras all the way around That will come in handy when you're parking so that if you park Close to a curb you can use the camera system to see how close or far you are from the curb when you're parking And that works excellent, so Anything else you want to be aware of how to do on the exterior something kind of? Quirky is opening the hood, so let's say you need to open The hood of the car, but let me first show you how to open the door handles one thing you can do is Use the remote and hit the unlock That'll pop open a little handle, and you pull it out towards you like that. That's how you open the door The door will also stay open if you prop it up if you pull it all the way out. It'll stay open which is nice So they got swan doors they come out of the angle in the older cars your hood release was under the Passenger side, and there's still air I can feel it, so I just popped the hood. I don't know if you can see that boom So I just popped the hood. It's on the passenger side so remember that if you need to pop the hood In the Aston Martin Vantage That's how you do it now if you need to open the door without the remote Push on the right side by those two little buttons And that's how you can open it if you want to lock the door Then push on the left side And it'll lock, but I got the hood open so it's not gonna lock so I'll show you that here in a second to open up the hood Where's the latch there's a latch under here man? Where's it there it is? There it is. That's right in the center. There's a latch right there See here. You can see that latch right there That will release the hood then you can open up the engine beautiful engine in here your intakes Your turbos or sit back on the engine the engine sits back for balance of it for the car for you know excellent track driving characteristics That's how you close it right there now. I was gonna show you locking the door Let me show you how you lock the door without the remote To lock the door you push on this side To open it push on open with this To lock it there you go You just push on that side the lights will flash and it'll open up to unlock it Boom just push on the other side there you go now in the case that you got locked out Check this out Look right there You get locked out there is how you open the car with the key right there where that keyhole is All right, and if you're looking for the key Maybe the battery died or something like that and your remote doesn't work So you need to use a key the key is right here So in the back the butt end of the remote you push this button and you can pull the key out right there at the top There's the button. There's a key all right All right, man, let's take this thing for a drive you guys probably waiting for the drive more than anything But I'm gonna show you how to operate the car as I always do let's get in the car Take this bad boy for a spin There it is All right, so before we close the door. Let's start it up cold start. This is how you start the car Put your foot on the brake down there Then tap this button right here Just scream right here There's a screen Let's close the door now if you need to unlock the the rear the Trunk area push that button right there You need to roll down the windows. There's two window switches right here. You need to adjust your mirrors Right there left right and then the little center button you need to open a door. There's a door pull for opening a door right there So I close it all right Quickly let's go over everything on the inside of the car. Let me make sure the radio is completely off all right, so you're Here are your controls for your lights. I have I have it on auto right now point it straight up That's for auto lights, but you have your parking brake right here. You could push it in Push it in Or you can pull it towards you Pulling it towards you will turn the parking brake on Let's say pushing it in well. I'm sorry pushing it in turns it on pulling it out turns it off all right there we go Parking lights regular lights or parking lights Regular lights yeah all that good stuff down there you guys know how to work your lights Hopefully if you don't know how to work the lights you have no business getting in the car all right So you got heated steering wheel controls right here on this little stalk you got the telescopic steering wheel up down in or out Again your heated steering wheel right there. You can turn it on Turn it off This right here is your blinkers and your windshield wipers so blinker left you blinker right obviously windshield white push that button that will control the Windshield wiper fluid by pressing it on that button and Then you have your high beams by pulling that or pushing it. I have an auto high beam, but you can see in there All right, so that's your controls on the left-hand side. There's nothing on the right-hand side you got paddle shifters for Down shifting is on the left upshifting is on the right which is pretty pretty typical as You guys can see we'll do that once we get to driving all right, so controls on the steering wheel so you have Your this is your cruise control and your lane keep assist. This is your voice commands This is resume on the cruise control or set the speed of cruise control And then what if you want automatic cruise control like with distance and everything and spacing you use this button On the other side. This is the control for your screen So if I press this button, that's your menu see the menu right there Press it again Actually, I'm on that. I'm gonna keep it on navigation. So I just press the button again in the center There's a little touchscreen thing here your left to your right so you control your screen with all that phone call button right here and Your volume for your stereo and your your track forward I don't know why they removed the track reverse. That's crazy Like am I the only one that that wants to hear the same song again and again and again? Probably so That's what it looks like now probably one of the first and most important things you're wondering about Is how do I take it out of normal sport mode and put it into? Sport plus or track mode and the answer to that question is this dial right here you turn it one time That puts you in sport plus you see the little s plus at the top of the screen and you see it right here sport Turn it one more time Track mode pops up there and the screen changes green for track mode or we can Go backwards sport plus and then regular sport mode Right there. I'm gonna put it in sport plus so you guys can hear the exhaust when you put it in sport sport plus in Track mode the exhaust opens up and you get a little bit more cracks and popples Burbles, I mean You're you got Apple CarPlay So so on the screen here, you can control your Apple CarPlay. You can hit the home screen for The home screen for the car for your radio and all your controls This is not going to be an exhaustive how-to on the infotainment But you can see it does have touchscreen it does have Apple CarPlay You have your settings for the car One of the most important things you'll want to do When you get in here is go to hit the car button at the top hit the assistance button and then turn off Where is it lane keep assist turn that crap off? Deactivate and lane departure warning turn those off in my opinion. They don't work very well And they're super intrusive and kind of dangerous so I turn those off when I'm getting ready to drive the car you got your your What do you call it? defrosters for the front and the rear auto for your auto temperature control lock and unlock the doors the hazard button their AC button recirculation button and sink your sink your Heated and cooled areas for the passenger and a driver All right, so what else you got here temperature control up and down the fan speed up and down You got the temperature for the passenger up and down the volume for the radio You've got the off button for the screen Lane lane keep assist on or off parking sensors on and off Parking cameras, so let's hit that real quick. Boom shows you your cameras right there. That's pretty dope That's pretty dope. So that's what I was telling you. You can see everything around you with all those cameras Then you got your exhaust control here your suspension control here Auto start on and off Return that off and then you got your traction control on or off. I'm gonna leave it on for now I might turn it off a little bit later and then you got your park So when you get done driving, you're gonna hit the park button just to put the car in park But then when you're ready to drive you hit it down once to put it in drive Hit it up once for neutral hit it up again and let it go you got to go all the way up like kind of like two times to put it in reverse and If you want to do manual shifting you hit the manual button So right now I'm gonna put it in drive and there's like two two steps like let's hit it up lightly It goes to neutral you hit it up lightly and then pull it extra to go down to drive or do the same thing To it for reverse and that'll adjust your mirrors as well all right, you're all ready to drive now if you need to open up this is something new in an Aston Martin is they have a Glove box. So there's a little button over here For the glove box right there. You press that button and that opens up the new glove box That's a new feature in an Aston Martin. They never had that before So that's how you open a glove box and look at this beautiful interior, man. You gotta love that. Look at this. This is sick This is so sick. Now if you need to adjust your seating, it's all right here. Just like the old Aston Martin So forward back seat back memory seats and all your adjustments. All right Okay So are y'all ready to drive so we got the car started up we've got our settings we got a sport plus We got it in drive right now. So all we got to do is let our foot off the brake and Start driving. So let's go ahead. So what it is sport plug plus it's still an automatic mode But it's just a little bit more sensitive I'm gonna put the Apple CarPlay back on right there. So we got Apple CarPlay Let's try this thing Man this car is dope. I really don't understand like This is the 2025 But the earlier versions of the Aston Martin look at the blinker on the on the mirror right there That's a nice little touch on the earlier Aston Martins They suffer from and this thing is fast, too My gosh, oh my gosh The earlier Aston Martins suffer from depreciation So you could get one that was spec'd up to $200,000 and I did I did this twice actually That's spec'd up to 200 grand. I'm gonna hit the gas pretty good. Here we go I'm actually wasn't even halfway This car is quick It doesn't downshift automatically to too much I probably had to print put in a track for that but man Man this is a beast All right. So what was I saying? So yeah, you can spec one up one of the older ones like a 2020 one that was like 200 grand brand-new you could get for like a hundred grand used and These newer ones they cost like 220 to 200 and I mean you could actually spec one of these up to $300,000 But people are afraid these are gonna depreciate I think they're gonna hold pretty strong Once people see what kind of value this is man. This is a crazy value Like this is a real legit supercar man. Look at the it's got carbon fiber all in throughout the car The leather steering wheel the paddle shifters the torque and the power Yeah, this is a real bonafide supercar But once you're driving This is an automatic. So there's no manual Available yet for the for the 2025 and newer Aston Martin. I'm gonna put it in normal mode sport mode regular sport Which should quiet the car down a little bit You can still hear the engine and if you push the gas enough it'll still kick down And then a little further up in this drive I'm gonna put it in track mode so you guys can see how it behaves in Track mode and you can always use the paddle shifters if you want like I just downshift it look Second gear throw it back in the third now if I hold the paddle shifter down It doesn't put it in drive necessarily Like some cars will do it'll just it'll just downshift normally All right so now The suspension the car is really smooth. This is kind of like a luxury version of an AMG GTR That's what this is. It has the same turbos same engine Just a bit more luxury, but at the same time, it's kind of like a hooligan So like if I if I put this thing in track mode, let's see Track mode right now, and I hammer it I had traction control on But imagine if I had traction control off with all this torque. Oh, yeah, so track mode Has a little bit of cracks and burbles I Don't know if you can hear that But it's got a little bit of burbles cracks pops that kind of thing so that's track mode But man, hey, let me know how you guys like this new camera. This is a new DJ DJI Action 5 I want to give you guys look like a widescreen so you can see What the car looks like a little bit better from the inside And it's got it you can see it a little bit of better in low light as well So we're in track mode right now I'm gonna take you guys down a spirited road Also, I can show you how to use the The cruise control which is pretty simple to be honest All you really have to do is just press this button on the side to start a cruise because I'll show you I'll show it You here in a second Man, this guy's in front of me Well, okay. Well, he's in front of me. I'm gonna show you guys the cruise control. So here's your cruise control buttons right here I'm gonna hit the cruise control anyway, so you hit down that sets it And then you can hit up a little bit go up So it's it's actually controlling the cruise. I have no no feet on the on the on the gas pedal right now So cruise control is on as simple as that Very similar to other cars, but I'm gonna turn it off by hitting a brake now. I'm a hammer it Sideways We went sideways there for a second, but the traction control works really well I'm gonna leave that on since I'm one-handed it right now For your viewing pleasure, but I want you to see This thing is a monster this thing is a monster Listen to that Golly Man this thing is a monster This is to me. This is gonna be the best if this thing does depreciate I don't think it is especially with the new tariffs and stuff from Trump if it does depreciate man you better grab one at a good price because This is gonna be one of the most underrated sports cars exotic sports car This is hands-down and exotic like don't even ask the question If this is exotic or not because if you go to a car show you'll see a million Porsches But you won't see not one of these. This is the only one in my city. I live in Columbus, Ohio This I believe is the only one in the city right now Because there's not an Aston Martin dealership. I'm gonna slow down so I can hammer it again Yeah, you hear them cracks and pops Yeah, buddy this thing is a beast All right, so I need to put it in automatic mode again There's a cop on these back roads, so the copper doesn't come after me actually there's no way it could have been clock All right, so let me put it in automatic mode It's still in manual mode, there we go. Now. It's a regular mode and We can put it in track mode and we can hit the throttle once again And this car this car is close to being scary fast man but once you're rolling, I mean this car is easy to drive like You can just drive it like a normal car if there's any car that you want to compare this to That's somewhat similar to drive it. It would be a late model Mercedes Benz It had it has some of the similar controls from the Mercedes but they added a lot of new stuff with this little infotainment area and You know how you control the screen the touchscreen everything is it's custom to Aston Martin I'm gonna slow down so this truck can get out my way Don't you hate that when you want to roll out? There's a truck in front of you, but man this car very comfortable The seats are good If you haven't driven one and try to get get your hands on one if you're thinking about buying one I Recommend this car That there's a little bit of delay on that downshift, but man if you're using the paddle shifters You can downshift a whole lot faster But man driving this car is a dream if you ever can get the chance to drive one highly recommended Again, I'm in track mode right now. So that's why it's holding the gears But yeah, that's how you that's how you drive an Aston Martin downshift right there upshift on the right Simple as that so hopefully You guys found this video informative on how to drive the new Aston Martin Vantage 2025 let's go bro. Let's go. Let's go Let's go. I gotta get y'all one more pull man one more pull one more pull It's rear-wheel drive. So you got to be careful coming out of a turn. It's got a lot of torque Yeah, this thing hustles, buddy It is not a Porsche 911. So you don't be trying to take curves like a dummy You got you got a whole lot more torque. You got almost 200 foot-pounds of torque more than the The 911. Well, actually you do you got 200 foot-pounds of torque more than a GT3 And and I'm telling you the other thing about this car Once it's up in the revs once it gets around 5,000 rpm. It still keeps pulling look Look at that. That's crazy. Oh My god Yes, the new Aston Martin Vantage is the shiznit Alright y'all, it's getting dark out here.
