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 Pounds you can get Ferrari level performance AND all that practicality AND safety. The rational thinker in me just can't seem to let the emotional luster in me win.
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...
I used to own a 2012 Rapide, similar ti tophe DB9 but
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.
Very elegant and not dated even siting next to the newer model. As an owner i give it two thumbs up.
Not dated at all! A gorgeous piece of machinery.
I'd argue the DB9 is more elegant than the DB11.
I am looking for a similar car too my friend 🤗
Would love to own a DB9 in the near future. A true James Bond car 😉
My opinion is ...
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...
A cheap Aston Martin is very likely going to be expensive down the road! Quantum Silver!
Good advice! I'd definitely go for a later model too! And try to get one with a CPO warranty.
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 o...
That’s interesting Patrick...
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.

Absolutely agree. Low miles with known history.
Don’t waste your money on anything a first class example
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 ...
I am selling one in the UK soon, only 14K miles
Fantastic cars but definitely a GT - I have a Vanquish also and that is more Sports GT Nothing else like them on the road and in my experience failry bullet proof if regular servicing has been carried out ...
Live the life
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...
