Aston Martin DB9 - Is it Actually Cool or Not? Should you buy one? Used Supercar Review.

[@Hazzzer26]

My dream car right there... When I was a kid & I saw the DB9 with all of its beauty on Top Gear, I instantly became a life long fan of Astons.

[@CarTrouble]

They do look stunning. Thanks for watching. 👍😀

[@OneEyedJacker]

I had an ‘08 DB9 and I agree with everything you said. It was lovely!

[@CarTrouble]

Did you ever have any issues with it? Any costly garage bills?

[@ericgeorge5483]

911, It's a Porsche. Audi S8, too conservative. Merc SL, Er no. The DB9 has something that those just don't; something intangible, an X-Factor that makes a car truly special. For Me, the DB9 is that achingly pretty girl at school that you fancied like mad and gave you butterflies in your stomach whenever you saw her. That is how a special car should be and that is why the DB9 is off the scale for coolness. This was a great video, thank you.

[@CarTrouble]

Nice comments - thanks Eric! 😀👍

[@Neojeff123]

Enjoyed this, please don't be disheartened by what happened with the other videos, loads of us loved them it's a shame you've had to remove them.

[@CarTrouble]

Thanks Jefferson, your support is really appreciated. I'm not disheartened, we just didn't expect that kind of backlash, we obviously misjudged it. Brits don't mind a bit of ridicule and criticism about Britain but that doesn't necessarily apply in all countries. Humour and culture is different everywhere, and their press made it worse than it was. The content will absolutely continue but we'd obvious;y like to avoid the many hundreds of death threats next time.. I'll re-edit the road trip and it'll hopefully still be entertaining, and we have more reviews and road trips coming. I'm sure we can be funny without angering entire countries!

[@Neojeff123]

@@CarTrouble yeah totally agree, death threats are unacceptable, had no idea it was that bad saw a lot of the comments that were bad enough!

[@CarTrouble]

We have no political interest. The videos were never meant to be a travel documentary or advertisement for any of the places we went to. It was supposed to be a humouros juxtaposition to other travel videos, and for the series in context, the joke was on us. We ridiculed ourselves and missed the good parts of places we visited. For context, at the end of episode 5, we even say that there are some beautiful parts of Belgrade, just not the part we were going to. But that was ignored by the press. We also wanted to return to Belgrade on the way back and stay in a nice area and see the nice parts, culture, scenery etc, proving ourselves wrong. But as we’re no longer welcome in Serbia we cannot do that. All the things we said, you can get away with saying in Britain, but we now know that humour and tolerance is different in different countries, and me must respect that. We now realise the humour was misjudged. As soon as we realised the offence caused, we took down the video (it had only had 800 views outside Serbia, we are not a big channel) We issued an apology which was printed in the Serbian press, and we won’t make anymore content about, or mentioning Serbia. I’m not sure there is anything else we can do to remediate.

[@garyebsworth367]

Great videos, where have the others gone, I was halfway through them and they disappeared? Keep up the great work Will

[@garyebsworth367]

@@CarTrouble Ok i shall wait for the revised road trip!

[@markchip1]

The stone chips will never rust, btw, because the DB9's bodywork is all either composite, aluminium, or rarely carbon fibre! As I know all too well, having spent months wet-sanding, then airbrushing (yes - primers, base and clearcoats!) by hand the DOZENS of areas of paint bubbling on every single one of my early DB9's panels!!!

[@CarTrouble]

That's dedication.

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

It won't rust, it's made of aluminum, bonded plastics etc. Owning an Aston is an experience, its like nothing I have experienced before in any other brand. Find a good independent specialist for your maintenance and just enjoy. They wear their miles well and if maintained (like any car) they are reliable... Oh and their hand built.

[@CarTrouble]

Good to know, thanks for watching! 😀

[@fransb8543]

I'm not sure the automatic will be more difficult to fix. It's a very common 6hp box any rebuild shop can service. The manual on the other hand is a bespoke, low-volume Italian affair. Good luck finding spare parts for it ten or fifteen years from now.

[@justsomeguy1141]

Just started watching the show mate its brilliant, however if possible you should try and get a maserati granturismo on the show, blows all these other cars out the water as an all rounder , despite what people say there reliable , the back seats are usable, it sounds amazing, looks sporty but is still luxurious inside and there not badly priced ...you can get an 08/09 model for between £ 15,000and £18,000. Just a suggestion...would be interesting to see what you think of one . All the best 👍

The other two owners I knew, had equally bad experiences, and swapped them for VW 911's ... oh well, out of the frying pan ... And before enthusiasts scream; "Mike @ Bamford Rose" ... for the ridiculous prices Aston's cost, one would expect, at least a smidge of reliability/usability!
