    I owned a 2008 DB9 for 3 years. It was not my daily driver but it was simply the most beautiful car I had ever seen and I had to own at least once in my life.
    The build quality was amazing and that V12 sound was amazing. The major fault was the maintenance cost which was eye-watering.
    You’re right about the Vantage; the proportions are not quite right, especially the grille shape.
    The DB9 driver seats needed another inch of rearward adjustment for a 6’-1” driver.
    Conclusion: loved it, but once was enough.

    So sad when you have to settle. 😉
    Fun Fact: In that Bond film where he rolls the Aston, they tried numerous time to get the car to flip. They used another brand of high-end luxury vehicle for testing out the stunt. That one rolled easily. But when it was the Aston's turn, it simply refused to do so.... at any speed. So, they fitted the bottom of the car with a large pneumatic device that could be instantly deployed at the press of a remote control button. It shot out from the bottom of the car, and then she flipped.
    Merry Christmas, Matt. 🎄

    Another excellent review Matt and I agree with most of your observations but 9:25 a couple of things: I had a DB9 this year for about 6 months. The maintenance costs were eye watering, the fit and finish wasn’t great and the tyre noise and ride were too harsh for a GT. However, it had more presence than any other car I’ve owned and walking towards it made me grin like a schoolboy. Would I buy one again? No. Am I glad I’ve shared the experience? Yes! Another cracking review Matt. Keep it up in 2023. Your down to earth, unpretentious style is refreshing. Thank you.

Already has a classic feel and outperforms most at the traffic light Grand Prix, if you like that kind of thing!👍🏻😂
