What Car? says
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
- 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
