Superb long distance grand touring car

I was seeking a distinct and intensely pleasurable driving experience on my road test and wasn't disappointed. The car combines heft and agility with more performance than I need. Both the sound and smoothness of the engine are an experince to be savored and remembered. The fit and finish are exquisite (10+). The seats give great support. Most limitations relate to storage and are: small trunk space (luggage will be shipped), poor cup holder placement, a miniscule glove compartment. Poor local mile age (11.8 MPG)is also a compromise, but hwy milage is better than promised (21+). It's truly an uncommon beautiful car that makes a powerful and unique impression at any speed. It's worth the money!
Simple fun with refinement

Great car! Fun to drive for a GT! If looking for sweet ride you can take anywhere, this is it. Comfortable and fun for long distant driving. Loves the road at high speed. Had no problems with car except for an occasional low tire warning and head-lights were replaced. They are automatic leveling and got stuck in down position. Replaced with no cost. Aston Martin Headquarters called to apologize personally for the inconvenience and gave me another Aston Martin until it was replaced. Interior is first rate with every convenience.
This is not a car ... it is a Dream !!

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.
A real thrill

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.

I bought my used '06 DB9 about 3 weeks ago with 1890 miles on it. Owning and AM has been a dream of mine & I'm thrilled that I decided to spring for one. I love this car! It is beautiful inside & out. The power is awesome and the experience of driving it is pure heaven. There's not a better looking car on the road.

My Aston Martin has been a great weekend car. I say this because it is usually in the shop with electrical problems during the week!

I drive this car everyday and arrive at work and home with a smile on my face. The car is a joy to drive. It is refined, responsive and reliable. Any minor glitches have been quickly attended to by the dealer. I drive the car I love everyday.
My First Luxury Sports Car

In December I purchased my first true sports car: Aston Martin DB9 2door coupe. I was able to get it in black with black and grey interior. To say the least, I was blown away! I have never owned a fast car like this before. I had to learn to drive all over again. Keeping it under the speed limit is the hardest thing to do when you can step ever so lightly on the gas peddle and have it up to 120 in no time. The specs says 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, I'll tell you that its true. Passing cars is a breeze. They never know what hit them. Great car and worth the price.

Defintely the most beautiful car designed by Aston Martin so far ... and one that does not disappoint in terms of handling, engine power, or finishing. Owning the Aston DB9 is a pure pleasure and it gives me a thrill to see it from the vantage point of another car driving beside it. It is a sight for sore eyes on any day, and gives the driver fantastic control and responsivness. A perfect 10 !!

It's a head turner but fun to drive even at longer distances. Not as many on the road as the Ferrari. The convertible is a pleasure after having the DB7. I love the car.
The DB9 volante is a 10

I purchased this car with 1200 miles and it has been a joy, the power prestige and comfort are beyond reproach. If you want a quality super car, this is the one, you can't go wrong. TD

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.

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.
World most amazing GT

I always wanted an Aston but wasn't sure of the build quality. When I walked into the showroom the salesman urged me to just drive one and I was sold. I could feel this was a solid car and I was right. It has been the most reliable car I have ever owned and I have owned several exotics. It is also the biggest head turner anywhere. Superb fit and finish. Amazing engine, perfect wood grain, the finest leather. Don't even think of comparing this in any way to the much lesser poser car the Vantage--the DB9 is a true Aston. If you can afford it, buy it - you will be glad you did.

I have owned most high end cars from maserati gransports 911 turbo, m5, m3, m6, CLS63 AMG benz, and many others some twice and this is in another class by itself. At 150 mph you feel confident this could easily handle 200 mph! just not in the states!
Not one of the "crowd" anymore!

I was driving an "03 SL500 Sport. I had ordered this silver beauty 1.5 years before they started arriving. Really a nice car, but in North Dallas, I passed 13 Sl's in 2.5 miles to work...and 8 were silver. So...Aston Martin as a little more "independent" make. I thought the beautiful but classic styling might blend in without causing the over-the-top hoopla of a Ferrari, or Lambo. WRONG. Everywhere I go it gets comments. I really rarely use the 900watt+ stereo, because I am hooked on the sound of the engine! It IS hard to stay within speed limit. This car DEMANDS that you remain engaged in your driving...even if just going to the closest 7-11. So far so good!

I have owned my meteor grey DB9 for 6 months and I find it to be an excellent automobile. It is fast, corners extremely well and is a real head turner. It may not be quite as fast as some super cars, but it is more comfortable and a joy to drive on long trips. Did I mention you also get a great deal of attention?
head turning classic

Very reliable car if you drive it instead of just looking at it! I bought the DB9 with the Sport Pack option. This car has proved to be extremely reliable, very comfortable, and a true luxury grand tourer. It is fantastic on highway when you can really use the smooth power, and while I don't think I am going fast when driving it, it is always out in front of any other traffic. I take it into dealer yearly to be scanned and do an oil change, but have never had any failures of any component....much more reliable than my S550 Mercedes and the Aston is cheaper to maintain. Only issue I have had is the leather on the instrument cover started shrinking due to the hot weather over the years, but Aston sold me a matching leather replacement even after 14 years...they matched the leather of the interior. Love the factory support, as occasionally they send factory reps over to inspect the cars if you are interested in them doing that, all for free. Definitely buy another Aston! It was an investment, but one going up in price yearly. Fantastic solid car!

Photos don’t do it justice. Gorgeous style exterior; leather, metal, wood interior is as rich as they come. The best part is the sound of the V12 as the exhaust valves bark open about 3500 rpm. Not a hard edged sports car; a proper, mature GT for the gentleman or woman that appreciates the finest in effortless motoring.
