A gorgeous automobile with stunning performance, the DB7 Vantage
nonetheless faces stiff competition in this stratospheric price
range.
Aston Martin's DB7 Vantage sees a host of changes for the 2002
model year. The audio system has been upgraded from an Alpine unit
to a Becker "Mexico" unit. The headliner has been modified to offer
slightly more headroom, and seat travel has been increased to offer
more legroom. Other upgrades include a battery disconnect switch in
the trunk to help preserve battery power on cars that sit for a
week or more and revised interior switchgear that offers some
much-appreciated distinction between Aston Martin Vantage and
Jaguar controls. Additionally, an illuminated starter button,
revised steering wheel, improved air-conditioning controls and an
optional Becker "Traffic Pro" navigation system round out this
year's changes.
Inside the cabin, Aston Martin equips its DB7 with wide expanses of
sumptuous Connolly leather and walnut wood trim. The traditional
black-and-white gauges are attractive and easy to read. The cabin
is rather tight, and front passengers over 6-feet tall will likely
protest a lack of headroom. This is especially true on Volantes
with the top raised, but the coupe has benefited from a slight
increase in headroom for 2002.
