2020 Aston Martin DB11 Review
The 2020 Aston Martin DB11 comes pretty close to being a textbook example of an exotic grand-touring car. Available as a coupe or convertible, the DB11 is stylish, comfortable, and fitted with one of two available engines that are well suited to the car's character. If you're looking for a high-class way to devour highway miles, the DB11 is an excellent tool for the job.
It's also decently practical by the standards of the class. There's a two-person back seat — albeit one that's really only suitable for small children — and a trunk that's larger than what you'll get in a Lamborghini Huracan or a McLaren GT. And while it's not as razor-sharp around turns as those cars, the DB11 is exceedingly enjoyable to drive quickly around corners. If we were tasked with taking a cross-country trip in any car, no matter the price, the DB11 would be pretty high on that list.

Aston Martin DB11 vs. the competition
Aston Martin DB11 vs. Bentley Continental
The Bentley Continental is opulence personified. Longer, wider and taller than the DB11, the Continental certainly has a presence all its own on the road, along with a bit more space and a similarly posh interior. It's also an excellent highway cruiser that offers two engines: a V8 and a V12.
Aston Martin DB11 vs. Lamborghini Huracan
If the DB11's fast-but-refined nature is a bit subdued for your tastes, something like the Lamborghini Huracan might be just right. Aggressively styled and relentlessly fast, the Huracan offers a naturally aspirated V10 and the incredible supercar soundtrack to go along with it. The Huracan doesn't offer the DB11's practicality, but it'll certainly put a smile on your face.
Aston Martin DB11 vs. McLaren GT
The McLaren GT is a bit of an odd duck in the grand-touring category. While the DB11 uses a 2+2 configuration, the GT is a two-seater with a mid-engine layout. As a result, the McLaren is significantly less practical than the DB11, but it's also faster and it may prove a bit more enjoyable to drive around a twisty mountain road.

Should I lease or buy a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Convertible?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
