USED Aston Martin DB9 Coupe (04 - )

My car

Bought the car (a DB9LM) in June 2008 and have done around 12000 miles. I love the looks of the car, feel good when I drive it. I use it regularly for the school run and on to the office. My son fits comfortably in the back up to now but he just turned 11 and it will be a bit too cramped for him soon. The car drives very comfortably around town but it doesn't take much effort to up the pace on less busy roads. It is quite a low car so those with back problems may struggle to get in and out elegantly. I used to think the brakes were good until I got a car with carbon ceramic ones (see below) now I'm afraid I'm spoiled for all time, and the Aston's brakes feel unresponsive by comparison. Also with the long front overhang it is not the easiest car to manoeuvre in town, but that's about the only bad thing I have to say about driving it.

I get 12mpg round town, 14mpg on average at each fill up, but got 25mpg on the run from St. Malo to Milan. It has had two reliability problems in nearly three years, only one requiring a lift back to the garage. Have had five corrosion spots removed under the bodywork warranty.

All in all I'm very happy with it (despite the brakes); its a keeper, even thought its recent stablemate is a Ferrari California. it is a hard choice in the morning ...

Its looks,sound and performance are unequalled. It isnt perfect, but then no car is. Its flaws ( relatively heavy steering, slightly firm ride on bumpy roads, and relatively higher road/wind/tyre noise at high speeds), relatively low fuel consumption and relatively high maintainence costs (£1800 for last service) are a small price to pay. Like most diamonds it is slightly flawed, but its a diamond nontheless.

The Asto Martin DB9 is an awesome exotic sports car. The car greats you with the words Power Beauty and Soul just as you enter the car. And these are the traits of the car. With a 6.0 liter V12 and 470 BHP and 443 pd ft of torque you cant deny that this car is a winner. When you hit the start button the engine makes a great loud powerful noise. Handling is great and when you hit the accelerator then you go extremely fast. The 0-60 time is 4.6 secs and if you keep the hammer down you will end up at 186 mph. I am glad to own one of these cars because it makes me feel good inside.

My car

I've always wanted an Aston since my school days. In fact my then favourite was the original (77 on) V8 Vantage so for my 40th I was give the (well near) ultimate gift, a driving experience in a DB9 and it didn't disapoint.

What a fantastic car, great sound with the radio off! Handled very nicely, touchtronic very smooth, I found the cabin very comfortable, felt really at home and a part of the car

So you can guess what I want for christmas (here's wishing)!
