Review

Aston Martins have always had a distinct allure for me ever since seeing the DB5 in Goldfinger and seeing an Astin Martin Lagonda back in the 80's. The DB9 was the dream car for me to own and it took me a good 2- 3 weeks to fully realize just what a splendid car I was driving. Sexy, elegant, powerful, responsive, distinctive and manly are just some of the adjectives I can attribute to this car.

Favorite Features

The roar and response of the engine when you press the pedal to the foor.

Suggested Improvements

The standard Linn audio system is clean, but a car like an Aston could and should feature a more powerful system as a standard feature. I am upgrading mine.

Review

Excellent quality and a beautiful design are the high points. The most superb exhaust notes I've ever experienced. The ONLY draw back I've found is a quirky automatic AC system that seems to have a little trouble keeping the cabin as cool as I select, but you can easily compensate by setting it a little bit cooler than you would normally.

Favorite Features

Exhaust sounds, exterior and interior styling

Review

We preordered the 05 DB-9, auto-tran so the wife can drive it. I was originally skeptical about ordering an AstonM after their merger with Ford a year or few back and losing their designer to Jaguar. However, AstonM has not lost their edge. Soon as I started the car after its initial delivery, it purred so solidly (the only way to describe it). There was no way to say how getting in the car and whisking away, becoming the center of attention on the mediocre streets of reality feels.This car let loose effortlessly as I took off, tearing up the onramp going from 0-80 in only a few seconds.

Favorite Features

Outstanding autotrans, ESP, instrument panel... A MUST DRIVE! If you're used to driving sedans, this is such a rush. I drove my wife's 03' 745 for a year, and now this car was what I was looking for!

Suggested Improvements

I thought they could have had better placement of the navigation screen and do a better job with the driver interfaces... American cars lack a good solid driver interface, but this car has the hotness, and you feel the heat soon as you tap the gas and go, and I think people around you feel it too.

Its a great luxurious drive and also has that mean sports car look. Top of the line luxury sport vehicle, the Aston Martin DB-9, is an A in my book.
