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!

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?

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. Ensure you have modern and compliant tires however, especially on the ‘05-‘08 cars, as the ride from the factory is quite firm.
