2009 Aston Martin DB9 Volante Convertible

Our Overview

Pros

  • A shape to die for; will probably look great in 20 years, too
  • Jewel-like interior
  • Glorious Aston sound easier to hear than in the coupe

Cons

  • Not the most potent car at this price
  • Driving character slightly Germanic
  • Common Aston design theme means DB9 doesn't seem as exotic as some other supercars, but do you really care?

 Car Summary:

One of the most classically beautiful cars on the market. For 2009, the DB9 gets an modest engine upgrade, with the V-12 now putting out 470 horsepower and 443 lb.-ft. of torque. While nothing to sneeze at, those aren't mind-blowing figures in a car that weighs over 4000 lb. You also have to consider that, at $200,000 the DB9's closest competitor is probably the Bentley Continental GTC, a car that weighs over 5500 lb. (albeit with more power and torque). In any event, the DB9 isn't really about pure sporting performance, but rather elegant pace.
