What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

For Quintessentially British brand, with stunning sound and drop-dead looks

Against More GT than sports car; reliability and build-quality problems

Verdict Looks fabulous, sounds fantastic, but could be better to drive

Go for… DB9

Avoid… Not applicable

Aston Martin DB9 Volante
  • 1. Rear legroom is virtually non-existent, so this is effectively just a two-seater
  • 2. If the clutch gives off a strong burning smell, it could be a sign of problems that will be costly to fix
  • 3. Make sure that any service history is complete, and that recall work on the parking brake has been done
  • 4. The boot is on the smallish side
  • 5. Check the car's fit and finish carefully. Complaints are far from rare
