2011 Aston Martin DB9 Convertible
Surely there will come a day when the car is no longer our means of transportation. It's hard to imagine, but then someone would have said the same thing 200 years ago horses had you told them become mere toys for the rich girls. On this day in the distant future, when they finally succumb to the temptation of dilithium with stationary engine pods, humanity will look back fondly on the Aston Martin DB9 is one of the best vehicles to traverse the Earth. It should serve as proof that the car was both a means of transport.

Here and now, 2011 Aston Martin DB9 is more cause for concern as the true future of the museum. Under all is the beautiful car that has to compete with some of the finest exotic cars are now available: Audi, Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, all can share the same space of the future museum.
The DB9 brings to the table in the same light, but structurally rigid all-aluminum platform that supports all the Aston Martin. This package relatively light allows for greater flexibility and faster acceleration of the 470-horsepower V12, which powers the DB9 coupe to 60 km / h, which Aston Martin estimated at 4.6 seconds. It's damn fast, but some of his colleagues of the future museum pieces are even faster and cheaper.
Still, the Aston Martin DB9 has not taken the ultimate thrill machine is the automobile. If you want to be a gun or go to a track, a Ferrari or a Porsche will offer a much more irregular participation performance edge. Instead, the DB9 coupe and DB9 Volante convertible offer precise handling, but both are comfortable and spacious enough to drive from Miami to Los Angeles without her butt go numb, your ears ring or luggage to stay home. Masterful collection of fine leather interior, wood and sapphire crystal, even make a trip more enjoyable.
2011 Aston Martin DB9 we give our approval sincere enthusiasm, but an important caveat - There are a lot of great cars available at the same price or less than the DB9. They are all very different in balance the look, temperament and ride / handling - Apples-to-apples comparison is not only not realistic. Thus, the DB9 is a place for our hypothetical Automotive Museum is for sure, but if it belongs to the garage is a completely different story.

Interior Design and Special Features
It is difficult to find a surface of the DB9, which is not covered in soft leather, all wood, piano black, aluminum trim, and even a sapphire fill in the blanks. Buttons easily deciphered combined with an LCD screen to create a central interface more user friendly and visually appealing as the first DB9, which was first off the assembly line in 2004. Even the navigation system is one of the worst in the industry and how the hand glow gauges rotate in opposite directions (the speedometer goes clockwise, counterclockwise will tachometer) is another bad idea . The speedometer is small number makes it as useless, but there is a digital speedometer with trip computer as a backup.
The driver's seat is wonderfully comfortable, with plenty of leg room for drivers higher. Unfortunately, the seat four-way power passenger does not offer the same amount of control and comfort. The two rear seats are glorified shelf, while the trunk has enough space for a set of golf clubs and a suitcase. The interior is decent visibility outside DB9 is less cumbersome than some other exotic. The visibility of the Volante is understandable worse, wind and vibrations can be a bit boring.
Driving Impressions
2011 Aston Martin DB9 is striking how easily it goes down the road. With the manual transmission, the clutch action is light and the lever to sneer through the doors. The automatic transmission is remarkably smooth, and its manual mode via paddle shifters moving ahead quickly. The steering is light and precise, even if you do not expect the accuracy of Ferrari and feel.
You can view this as a compromise, as the DB9 is consistent ride it one of the few exotic sports cars that you would drive cross-country. With its new active damping for 2011 DB9 manages to stick to the pipe line as well as its ability to handle the corners has been improved. The DB9 has always been exciting to drive, changing direction easily and react intelligently to steering and braking inputs, but now sports two set the mode to active suspension gives the car a dimension of ultra-high performance , making it no longer sport suspension package useless.
The DB9 was once criticized for being a mess of broken sidewalk swinging sagging, but Aston has made revisions in recent years largely correct this problem. You always have the strange noise in the wheel, but is mild and probably owe the pleasure of listening to the deafening sound of the V12 exhaust note of the roof peeled multilayer. While the coupe is the best option for drivers, the Volante is now near its capacity.
