What Car? says
For Aston is a quintessentially British brand, and the DB9 looks stunning and sounds great
Against It's more a GT than a sports car, and there are reliability and build-quality problems
Verdict
It looks fabulous and sounds fantastic, but the DB9 could be better to drive
Go for… DB9
Avoid… Not applicable
- 1. Check the tyres for wear: if it's excessive, it could be a sign of a fault in the suspension
- 2. Boot space is small - just about big enough for a set of golf clubs
- 3. Rear seats are barely adequate for children, even on short journeys
- 4. Check the fit and finish in the cabin: some owners have complained about it
- 5. V12 engine requires careful, and costly, maintenance to keep it in tip-top condition
