- 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!

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..
Waiting for depreciation to hit after 5 years. And I'll show up like 'honey, I'm home!'.
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
Great content - amazing spec - absolutely gorgeous! Not sure I'd want to fill it up ever 100 miles with the current fuel costs.
Great video! Keep up the good work👍
Phil, what is the small black thing which breaks the thin chrome line round your radiator grille. Was that deliberate?
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.
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 👍
Great vid mate! Shocked at the track mode switching though! My DB9-GT switches to track via a longer press on the sport button. Assume there is no shortcut like that on there? Also guessing you must have switched to Michelin tyres, as their Bridgestones are crap in the wet with all that power otherewise might have been number 6 on your list ;oP
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
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.
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?
Really really marvellous. Thanks bro 🤓💪
How often will you close the hood for soft close?
Aston please have the option on car doors.
One of the best looking cars out there. Stunning
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.
Hey , I would like to know your opinion after driving LC500!
Give me your honest comparison in experience!
How do you cope with speed bumps with the low front spoiler
The colour scheme is absolutely outstanding big fan of the gold accents all around the car quality 🔥
With the spec what would it fetch now 200k?
Love love love the yellow bits 👍👍
Beautiful car, how do you go over speed bumps tho?
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.
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.
One of the reasons the depreciation on your car is so high is that nobody will want it with all the dreadful yellow stripes !
Brize ... I’d have it🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Hi Phil,
Just subscribed to your channel.
I'm in the process of ordering a DBS Volante in cobalt blue - what is the blue on your car (zaffre blue perhaps?) & does it have PPF?
(£40k off list, missed out on a 20/20 volante with 80 miles on the clock for £199k - OTR price was £272k)
Regards,
Ajaz
I'm in the process of ordering a Big Mac meal at the moment......!!!!.
Just found your channel...!
Nice video! 👍
Im thinking of getting a DBS just don't know if I could give up my Vanquish 2 for one. Any advice out there?
Even though the DBS is more aggressive looking and faster, your Vanquish 2 is the most beautiful car Aston Martin has ever made and you should keep it. Wait for a few more years of depreciation and buy one while keeping your Vanquish.
what camera are you using?
5 things I hate about not having an aston martin dbs superleggera
Beautiful car, Great spec!
Do you like the new Vantage roadster?
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.
Love 😍 the color of your DBS.. I always love the DBS it's a great car.
You should consider doing a video about the previous generation DBS with yours.
You have a stunning car! The soft closing bonnet is AMAZING!!! And you think that boot is tiny?))) I have a db7! I can fit maybe a clutch bag in the boot if I have the dust cover packed there 😂😂😂! It’s probably half a size of yours)) and every other comment Jeremy Clarkson wrote about db7 I wholeheartedly agree with each! But I love that baby)
Jeez ya that's easily the sexiest aston that I've noticed
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.
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!
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
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..
Wow! 11mpg! Shocking stuff ! I imagined at least mid teens not that that’s much more than 11, but still, blimey!
So db11 or this one has more space in back seats and trunk
Are you going to make your next supercar resemble an Impreza?
5 things you hate about your Aston Martin DBS Superleggera ?.... awwww poppet ! 🤣
Wish you had of got the vanquish instead?
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 👍
OHMSS version looks amazing !
this one looks stunning
Your car color and spec are absolutely beautiful, and that is coming from a Maserati Granturismo S driver.
Beautiful dream car
Nice ride 🚘
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
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 🤣
That fuel consumption is shocking!!
Is 1 of them because most people mistake it for an F-Type with a bodykit?
I'm from barbados 🇧🇧 the colours match my flag, lovely car homie.
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.
The 2010 DBS still my fav. NA with a manual.
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?!
AM's quality issues have put me off completely. Better to sick to something else with wings, and I don't mean fannypads.
So one of your biggest annoyances about your DAILY Is that its bad on fuel😂 such a cool car though🤟🏼
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
Take it to Aston Installations they can fit Apple car play for you 👍🏻
Can I have price of car
You lost me at £3k for a bonnet badge... that is a complete Mickey take
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.
Someone needs to design a bonnet that follows that seal line to the doors and leave the wheels and carbon fins open.
I hate one thing about it and that’s the fact that I can’t afford it
So this has lost approx £150k in 8k wow. 😳 scary.
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.
Is it yours, or is it the banks?
Carbon Ceramic Brakes Very Noisy,After High Spd.Stops.Maybe Back Calipers Need Upgraded By Aston Martin?
Your local petrol station must love you.
I wonder if BP will do a bulk-buy discount? Buy 1 tanker, get 1 free or something. Should last at least a week then.
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.
Maybe it’s just the time is right now but you’re actually getting premiums for these guys they are not depreciating
the most beautiful aston martin i ever seen
Nice car I'll take the old model thanks..you can keep your IKEA coloured model because your resale value will be limited as will the buyers with that colour combo.
Let me tell you a story about what I think of your car.
"Utterly, ridiculously stunning."
The end.
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!
Thankss
The horse thinks its a MONSTER !!!! :)
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.
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.
I am more interested in how you managed to pay for it????
What's that colour? 😮🤤
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 😂
I wish I had these problems
11mpg actually shocked me a lot haahah
Why you filmed this beautiful car on top of a horrid road with potholes I will never get!!!
Awesome car, but 11mpg that's savage, but then again you can't put a price (or an mpg!😂) on the smile on your face when you're driving it.
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
I'll buy one when they upgrade that Mercedes infotainment system
The real crime is they made such a beautiful car and put a lousy infotainment system in it
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.

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
