2011 Car of the year...goes to

[ENZ525]

They are not that roomy..you are right MAF.....The rear seats are really for you bags than people.......or children. For me...being small....the interior was fine. Chris has one on his forecourt at the moment. Wouldn't have one over a Maserati QP...

Just had a look at the website...
Maybe I need to get really close to one to get it out of my system,
I think that looks fabulous...and in my favorite colour combo too!

 

[Andyk]

I'm sure he would do a good deal for you Enzo...How about a trip down......Have a look, drive to just get it out of your system....you could even stay over...back to the Italian for some good food.......

I do like that idea Andy...let's get this little cold snap out the way and see how it goes?

 

[Andyk]

You're more than welcome Enzo..and it would be great to see you again...

 

[MAF260]

Funnily enough, almost exactly the same spec and colours as my mate's. Still not keen now I've seen it in the flesh though!

 

[GransportFan1]

not like audi drivers anyway

HHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Dem, my dad used to have a nice Audi, an S3, went like a stabbed rat.

 

[ENZ525]

That's very kind Andy...would be good to meet up again.

Its the front end and bonnet that just looks os good to me.....Do prefer the V8 Vantage though....

MAF did you mates have the Sport kit on as these are much better than the standard car...Bigger wheels, better set up...

As I said before, nowhere near ready to give up my QP...but there is something about the DB9 I really like...
I will have to get up close to one to see how it feels

 

[Andyk]

I agree with you Enzo...It's just one of those cars that has a certain pull....Not unlike the Maserati...Its the name.....

 

[ENZ525]

It is...
Funny though that Mr JC of top gear fame has the two marques at oposite end of the spectrum.
AM (in particular DB9) has it's own mini fridge 'cos it is cooler than sub zero...and, well we all know wht he thinks of Maserati

 

[Andyk]

I still think Maserati has more soul and passion, but Aston has a different kind of soul and passion...More stiff upper lip.......

 

[dem maser]

Aston for me are the next cars to maserati.....
Not a fan of DB9 my friend had 1 i loved the sound but nothing else...the vantage will be the one for me if i was looking...

Top gear had the rapide against the QP i remember....ill go see that again now

 

[Andyk]

Not a fan of the rapide......The QP wins all day long against that one.....The QP GTS just sounds so much better...

Dem, the Vantage would have to be on yhour list before you buy.....

 

[dem maser]

We see financially where i am come new year and if something comes my way quick....i have a wedding thats costing more than a vantage in may so we see but yes....def option love them...very hard to pick between GS and that...have to drive them back to back its that close

 

[GransportFan1]

i am not the DB9's biggest fan but they represent great value, you can get a nice one for 55K.

If I was spending 30k I would go GS

If I was spending 40k - V8 Vantage and QP GT - Would need to drive both to make sure..

 

[ENZ525]

Did have a quick look at a rapide when I was last at Lancasters....
Not for me in any shape or form...
Agree that AM don't have the same kind of soul or passion as Maserati,
but then we would, right

Got the prices spot on....30k gets you a good GS but 30k gets the worst vantage....
