What Car? says
For The DB7 has a gorgeous shape, a fantastic engine note and a world-famous badge
Against It has a poor driving position, small boot, high running costs and surprisingly low specification
Verdict
Good ones look a million dollars; bad ones can cost it. Make sure you know which is which
Go for… Light colours and complete histories
Avoid… Cars with patchy servicing
- 1. The rear seats are really only usable by children on short runs
- 2. The exhaust manifolds are known to crack, and if you have to replace both sides, it can cost in excess of £800
- 3. The Aston’s nose is prone to stone chipping, which can lead to corrosion if not properly repaired
- 4. If the suspension set-up is wrong, it'll eat through tyres quickly, so check for signs of wear
- 5. Connolly leather upholstery needs regular conditioning to stay in good shape
