Drove a DB9 on a track day many years ago. Sorely disappointed. Big heavy lump with slow ponderous steering and gearbox. The GTS is no sports car but much mor capable I think. DBS or V12 V would be the only ones I would now consider.

Depends on whether you need a two-seater or four seats.

If you need four, the Maser, no question.

My own take on this is that if you have to go Aston over Maserati, the smaller Vantage V8 is a great pick.

Drove this long-distance and absolutely loved it.

The interior IMO, is even better than the GTs, and that's seriously saying something.

And the performance and howl is more than adequate. With all the cache that comes with that Aston badge.

A colleague at work has the DB9 and the build quality inside isn't great, the rear seats well hmmmm and it sounds nice but is a bit chunky but also there are lots and lots of them around... whilst the GTS gets the looks every time due to its beauty and sound.

I looked at Astons, Jags etc and the Maserati is in a league of its own...

Yep whenever I am staying in Manchester/Cheshire I am always surprised at how many Astons I see.
