Which to choose

The Aston Martin DB12 suits

The DB12 suits a buyer who wants the most power and torque here, a recent model, and a grand tourer made for long distances. It also suits anyone who wants the extra performance of the newer S versions.

The Ferrari Roma suits

The Roma suits a buyer who wants a Ferrari for regular use rather than the occasional outing, with a dual-clutch gearbox and a lighter, sportier feel. With more cars to choose from, it also suits someone who wants a wide pick of years, colours and specifications.

On paper the DB12 has the edge, with 671 bhp or 690 bhp in S form against the Roma's 612 bhp. It's also the newer design. The Roma has been around longer, so more used examples come up, and Ferrari's seven-year servicing programme can carry over to later owners of younger cars. It has since been replaced by the Amalfi. Choose the DB12 for the newest car with the most power, or the Roma for the Ferrari badge, its dual-clutch gearbox and more choice.
