Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Verdict: Simple, easy, beginners/intermediate sports car that's way too expensive.
-Overview: This is somewhat if a hard review to write cause...well...this car has really no defining characteristics. While it has 509 hp, the 1,680kg (~3,700 lbps) slows it down. The handling isn't particularly exciting either. It's simple, easy, and you can oversteer it if you'd like but you have the option not to. It doesn't understeer much either so I guess that's a good thing. And it being an Aston Martin means it falls into that category of cars that many overlook in this game. It's up against BMW's, 'Jags, and a few of the low end Mercedes such as the SL600. I personally have never bought one of those cars to race in. I seem to go strait to an American car as my first purchase since they're cheap and you can add so much power to it, then I save up for an italian supercar, then get into the racing machines which leads me to believe, why would I want an Aston unless it's just for playing around in? And the price backs me on this.
-Value: At 217 or so thousand credits, it's outrageously expensive. Want to know what you can buy with that much money in it's same pp category? A '07 GT-R AND a Corvette C7 stingray, and then add 44 grand in upgrades to EACH car. Oh, and each car has more pp than the Vantage as well.
-Noted features: In my opinion the interior view seems a bit restrictive however you can see the instruments pretty well. The noise this car makes is amazing and it looks amazing too. The top speed definitely isn't lacking but it's not super car with a top speed of 10 or so mph short of 200. The handling was easy, basic, and had no defining qualities. If you're new to Gran Turismo and want to refine your handling skills but you have the money for it, this car is great for you.

Side not here, I tried separating the review into separate categories but I just couldn't do it. I felt closed in and it was impacting my review on the car. I felt like I couldn't put everything in there cause it didn't flow together. Also, I had a very difficult time reviewing this car as there, as I've said, isn't really any defining qualities of it.
