Doug DeMuro gives the 2012 Aston Martin Virage a strong positive review (84/100), praising its distinctive design updates over the DB9—including a modernized front end, unique wheels, and sculptured rocker panels—along with exceptional performance from its 490-horsepower 6.0L V12 engine that delivers both power and a compelling sound. The cabin tech scores well with standout details like the glass brick key with embedded Aston Martin logo and LED turn signals in the fender trim, while the used market value is excellent due to the car's rarity compared to the DB9 despite similar pricing. The main drawbacks are tight rear legroom that limits practicality and some cost-cutting touches like the cheap Ford-sourced turn signal stock that feel out of place for the price point. This is a car for collectors and enthusiasts who prioritize rarity, driving dynamics, and distinctive design over everyday livability.
