I think it will be.

 

One of the reasons why I was considering one was because the DBS was featured in 2 Bond movies. Although it didn't have a very major role in the first movie (Casino Royale) and it had a short lived role in the beginning of Quantum of Solace which is one of the least enjoyable Bond movies I've watched. I definitely can't afford a DB5, so this was as close as I could get. The DBS is still a "potential" if the right one came along but the problem is that the Tesla drives so well and I can refuel it at home overnight with electricity. The Tesla isn't a work of art though but it has convenience and performance. But it does drive so well that you forget about a lot of these super nice cars. I can't wait to see an electric Rolls Royce or an electric Ferrari/Lamborghini! Convenience, performance, craftsmanship, and mobile art!

Aston Martin DB 9

Dear Friends, I am seriously thinking about to buy a first generation DB9. Any thoughts from the owners, who has or had that Model before? Pros and cons? I don’t like the Volante version, so only the coupe, with automatic transmission. Best would be the c...

Sold it in 2015. www.watchprosite.com Pros - simply beautiful, V12 sound wakes up you neighbors in the morning, love the crystal key. Interior leather quality is awesome, at least 4 cow hides from what I heard. What you see is metal is real, not p... 

You will be getting a lot of value for the money.

It’s a great car but don’t buy a cheap Aston as it will be a hassle. Buy one with a proper history and clean and tidy without mechanical issues. My shopping list would include: Sport Pack ...From 2006 includes revised suspension and new alloy wheel design... 

I think it will be.

I also own a Tesla amongst others and it’s such a good thing to own as a daily driver. I keep my other cars like we enjoy our watches.

In complete agreement!

The Tesla is a great machine. Yeah, it lacks water repellent glass, floor hinged gas pedals, and other details. But it's a very darn good product. I still wouldn't mind having something that evokes more emotion though, but sometimes I wonder, for 60,000 P... 

Overpowering engine, can be scary to drive...

Don't press the "SPORT" button, every time you breath on the gas pedal you'll risk a tire burnout. Drive it gently until you're in 3rd gear before you become liberal with the gas pedal. Overall, a nice car. Impractical. A lot of the metal in the interior ...

Ive had this V12 Vantage for 10 years now. Been bullet proof so far. Things to watch:- 1. Go to YouTube and research Bamford Rose. That will give you ideas on service and faults 2. At temperature listen for the DB9 "Tick" under the RH Door. If you hear a ...  

Many-many thanks to everybody for your

knowledgeable posts, I didn’t expect so many answers. Well, I thought before my post, that it is an irrational decision, followed by heart. What surprised me, that two members changed to an e-car, if my memory serves well, to a Tesla and an I3, after havi...
