Fabulous looks, landmark cabin design and quality, great sound, potent performance, precise and interactive handling, inspired paddleshift transmission.
Awkward ignition switch, on the thirsty side.
A true rival to a Ferrari or a Porsche.
The DB9's air of quality is sensational. There are no visible mass-produced parts from cheaper cars in the cabin - door handles, switchgear and the like - and the machined-aluminium instruments are a work of art. The leather is soft and fits snugly and evenly, the wood has a satin finish designed to age gracefully, and no surfaces try to be materials they are not. Everything has a meaty precision about the way it moves. Outside, the paint is glassy, the panel gaps are even (an impressive feat for a car with composite bonnet, front wings and bootlid), and the chassis is built with tidy precision.
