This Naturally Aspirated V12 Aston Martin DB9 holds the secret sauce that makes the brand Legendary. Today's cars are just a bit too digital, but the DB9 is the perfect mix of old world tactility and new world refinement.

I believe that the peak period for “modern, yet involving” cars was around 2005-2015. There was so much awesome from so many brands. This is a great example of that. Your comment that people who enjoy driving must look backward is unfortunate but true. Truly interesting new cars and few and far between.

My DB9 turned so many heads in the US that I think some people broke their neck trying to get a glimpse of it when I was driving by. It was also a lot more reliable than any of the german turds (Porsche and BMW) that I have owned. You're absolutely right, it's quite bizarre that their isn't more demand for these, but the prices for these cars new are a bit outrageous. I bought mine used and paid a fraction of the original MSRP. However, prices are on the rise so maybe people are catching on after all? I sold my DB9 and now want a Vanquish, but waiting for this car market to cool down.

The V12 engine sounds absolutely amazing and this can't be avoided, probably the best feature of the car.. honestly one of the best engine sounds I've ever heard, stunning v12.. steering is slightly less tough to deal with than the V8 vantage and the braking system seems to be a little more responsive on the dp9 given the fact of a larger engine, unfortunately overall I'd have to say Porsche boxster/ Lamborghini gallardo/ hurracan all all more quality and enjoyable rides

I had a 2005 DB9 for 6 years and used it as my daily driver. Put 43,000 miles on it. Never got stranded. Very reliable car. Only big expense was 2 motor mounts replaced and all new plugs and coil packs. Sold it and regretted it badly. Therefore I recently purchased a 2011 Rapide. It is awesome and I like it better than the DB9. Not quite as fast but more leg room for the driver, better chassis height and rear seats that can actually be used. Ride quality is better.
