I had a DB9 from new for 2 years and it was completely reliable and maintenance costs were surprisingly very modest... worst being £2k for a set of new tyres... Great car and never failed to raise a silly grin every time... that exhaust note alone 😀
I owned a 2008 DB9 for 3 years. It was not my daily driver but it was simply the most beautiful car I had ever seen and I had to own at least once in my life. The build quality was amazing and that V12 sound was amazing. The major fault was the maintenance cost which was eye-watering. You’re right about the Vantage; the proportions are not quite right, especially the grille shape. The DB9 driver seats needed another inch of rearward adjustment for a 6’-1” driver. Conclusion: loved it, but once was enough.
These small batch supercars are like supermodels. Stunning in many ways, especially when everything works, but also flawed and temperamental. You have to embrace that as part of the charisma and Humanity. Otherwise a robot built Lexus will do just fine.
I have 2 favourite car channel hosts - both are Poms, I have to admit ! Matt and Harry (Harry's Garage). Between the 2 you get real world reviews, unbiased, non USA over hype...and not 75% devoted to track drives which have little to no relevance for we normal drivers. And with Matt his material is particularly relatable and practical - and as a northerner he's almost an Aussie ;-) . Long may Matt and Harry keep doing reviews. Oh, and many thanks gentlemen.
Another excellent review Matt and I agree with most of your observations but 9:25 a couple of things: I had a DB9 this year for about 6 months. The maintenance costs were eye watering, the fit and finish wasn’t great and the tyre noise and ride were too harsh for a GT. However, it had more presence than any other car I’ve owned and walking towards it made me grin like a schoolboy. Would I buy one again? No. Am I glad I’ve shared the experience? Yes! Another cracking review Matt. Keep it up in 2023. Your down to earth, unpretentious style is refreshing. Thank you.
@@gb9399 I replaced it with a Jaguar XKR 5.0 supercharged. Not quite as exclusive but a great drive, sounds great and, in my opinion, a better finished interior. Hugely underrated cars, I think. Currently excellent value for a refined GT. they’re probably as cheap as they’re going to get right now for a decent one. Already has a classic feel and outperforms most at the traffic light Grand Prix, if you like that kind of thing!👍🏻😂
@@gb9399 Nope, an independent has looked after my XK for no more than a service of a standard saloon. I’ve paid much more to get an Audi serviced. I can’t recommend an XKR highly enough! 👍🏻
I must say - your videos are a breath of fresh air. Not a fan of most of these car review pages but I’ve actually sat and watched about 10 videos in one sitting. Love the titanium omega also 👍🏼
So sad when you have to settle. 😉 Fun Fact: In that Bond film where he rolls the Aston, they tried numerous time to get the car to flip. They used another brand of high-end luxury vehicle for testing out the stunt. That one rolled easily. But when it was the Aston's turn, it simply refused to do so.... at any speed. So, they fitted the bottom of the car with a large pneumatic device that could be instantly deployed at the press of a remote control button. It shot out from the bottom of the car, and then she flipped. Merry Christmas, Matt. 🎄
@@jme_a Again, the first luxury vehicle they tested flipped very easily. When the Aston refused to do so, the technicians had to be called in to get it to flip.
@@NGMonocrom true enough, they already had the car rigged with the "flipper" as a backup. I thought you were implying that method was "invented" specifically for that scene but reading your comment again it doesn't really sound like that at all! Ignore me! :)
Great video :) Personally, I'm sucker for the Vantage - I prefer the smaller size, and not having the waste space of those useless rear seats. But really the DB9/S is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
Fantastic review....I've had my DB9.2 (2014) for a few years now and am absolutely smitten every time I drive her....btw she is STILL difficult to park, so 2x on the park sensors 🥃🥃
I actually arrived in London a couple of days ago for a Christmas holiday, and almost immediately got sick. Now I'm laying in bed at my hotel, and what would be a better way to cheer up than a High Peak Autos video about James Bond's Aston Martin! Great stuff!
Absolutely brilliant. So slick and pro. Thank you for the content this year, it gets better and better. On a side note, I’m appreciating Malaga at Christmas and all of the eclectic vehicles still going strong here. Maybe a video from here in 2023??? Cheers and all the best, Paul 👍🏻
Matt every now and then you put out a super stylish edit....the filming is borderline cinematic and the editing is spot on....I'm not suggesting you're not capable of such work but as an amature that has done a bit of this on youtube I know how hard it all can be......who helps you...ps making of an episode of your channel would make a great episode....because most folk don't understand the effort it takes. Merry Christmas 🎅
03:43 IMO the best looking car ever made. You didn’t do the Car Vertical plug this week but I used the service recently. With your discount I think it cost me £17 but I discovered that the car I was buying had two previous owners and not one which it was advertised as having. This helped get a further discount on the price I paid so thanks for that! Happy New Year pal.
Love the new style intro matt, best car reviewer out there in terms of quality and depth of knowledge about the industry, keep up the good work. Ps that bond cutscene killed me🤣 Merry christmas
Sorry have to disagree The new intro looks like its made by somebody who has just discovered the "effects" menu in a cheap video editor . The old one was/is much better . Simple and clean
When I commented about the production value in the last video you were probably thinking, “Just you wait!” Awesome video, and an incredible car. Amazingly even in a world of pebble shaped EVs this still looks current and stunning, and I don’t think it will ever stop. Ian Callum is a genius.
Hi Matt, well done on the review. The watch was a nice touch! As an owner of a 2009 DBS with a manual, I must challenge the myth of the clutch being a problem. It's not hard drive drive at all, unless it's worn out, or the driver doesn't know how to drive a manual properly. When you first have a go, you will notice the clutch bite point is a bit high. Other than that, it's like any other manual. Don't abuse it. I'm the fourth owner of my DBS. Purchased it in 2017 with about 16,000 miles on it. It now has over 63,000 miles. I changed the clutch at 27k miles, and I'm still on the same clutch - no issues, so a lot more than 15k miles on a clutch. I drive the car fairly aggressively on winding mountain roads, but I don't abuse the clutch. Tried a DB9 GT before I bought the DBS, and although it some nice updates, it wasn't what I was looking for (no manual). Took me 2 years of searching to find a manual DBS in the spec I wanted, but it was worth the wait. I'm glad I held out for the DBS. If you get a chance to drive a manual DBS, make sure it's a well-maintained example. If you like the auto DBS, but enjoy a more sporting drive, you owe it to yourself to try a proper manual. For those who want a DBS but can't afford it, a good condition DB9 is a lot of the fun for a lot less money. Both are great cars.
Were I to buy a Bond car, it'd be the Alfa Romeo 159 the villains used in Quantum of Solace. Sensible, stylish, sophisticated - without costing an arm and a leg. Happy Christmas everybody!!!
Nice review. I bought a 2004 DB9 a few months ago and thus far it is proving reliable and the driving experience is truly fantastic. I prefer the style of the earlier cars and find that 450hp is enough…
You made my day, and especially by what you said at the end! I’ve owned a 2005 DB9 since 2018, exporting it to Italy (just before Brexit) and drive it on nice days, often to work, feeling like a school boy trying to be Bond…! I have 3 kids too, and they enjoy its exotic sound almost as much as I do. Mine is the Touchtronic and I think it suits it’s GT style and character perfectly…when you get to know it well you can interact with the paddles playfully at just the right revs to enjoy! And, in Italy…it’s rarity makes it feel even more special (branch….😉).
Great video Matt - really slick editing. I checked the Bond Seamaster. Can't believe the price of these now - over £8,000. I got mine, new with blue dial/bezel, in 2019 for £3,500. Now they are over £5,000. The Bond connection has worked.
As mentioned Matt, brilliant editing and fab little touches including the watch!! Never owned such a car, probably never will through choice but they are absolutely gorgeous to look at. Best of luck in 2023!!
You definitely win the Gold medal for 'some bloke talking whilst driving cars'. For the 'some bloke talking whilst fixing cars' I have to give that one to Sreten at M539 Restorations. Nicely put together video. Can see you are not the type of person to just rest on your laurels. HNY!
Oh Matt. If I coulda, I woulda! I have driven one and fell in love. It gives an instant boyish feeling when you step in and yet is refined and comfortable. For now, I have to be either a Bond villain or an escort for M in my 2012 4.4 Range Rover Westminster. Great video as always bud.
Hi, I,m Plenty. Plenty O,Toole. Named after your father no doubt. I couldn't resist, Matt. DBS is so elegant and graceful. I ,d have this over a Lambourn or Porsche any day. Keep up the good work
Haha your bouncy walk to the driver's door! I think the question is not *should* you buy a DBS, but *can* you? It's amazing how modern it looks, I would not have questioned it being released yesterday from the exterior. Timeless.
Fabulous car and it makes you feel really special especially when you place the crystal key into the black ash centre console. My DB9 is always driven on the paddles and is enough luxury and performance keeping me out of potential trouble with the DBS.
My mate bought one, sold it after a year as couldn’t cope with the unreliability and bad build quality!! However, the name Aston Martin has such a cool sound!
Absolutely loved this video Matt. Being a huge Bond fan since I was 9 years old, and a follower of your channels, this was the video I always hoped you'd make, even adding the OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300m James Bond 007 2020 Edition watch from NTTD and the black tactical neck from Spectre ! The quality, editing and humour in the videos as well as the practicalities of owning the DBS have taken your videos up to another level. Love it! Thankyou so much. Now get yourself down to EON for that screentest.
Beautiful car Matt. I can see myself in it travelling to the supermarket about 2 miles away or to the relatives in London once a year. Its a dream car and its expenses ensure it will stay in my dreams rather than my drive.
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Y. E. S., And one can listen to the engine noise and watch the video, which is your best so far. F**king loved it! Keep up the good work Matt, and Merry Christmas!
Epic video for Christmas. I am glad I don't know too much detail about car parts - finding a Fiesta part on a super car might lead to the odd sleepless night!
One of my favourite cars ever. I wouldn't have my wheel centers in black though. I'd constantly be expecting a call from the 80s, wanting their style back.
Matt.....I just bought a new 4k monitor for crimbo, and this was the first screening it has had. I am 17 seconds in and i just literally shit a cat!🤣 Thought my £1000 new purchase was shagged, but it was your intro....lol Merry Christmas young man, thank you for all your time, effort and professionalism in giving us muppets the benefit of your knowledge. Superb channel. Love the fact you included the limited edition 007 Omega submariner watch as well....classy, have one myself. What better partnership than Omega and DBS. More watches Matt please.
Yes, DB9 every single day for me. I do recall, however, back in 2017 I organised a "run-out" for the Midlands section of a well known motoring forum. One of the guys that pitched up was driving a black DBS. It was de-catted and it sounded the billy bollocks! Didn't sound as good as the Lola T70 Spider that also joined the convoy after the mid-way stop at a Shropshire airfield. 7 litre V8's with open pipes tend to do that....
Hi , one of the few cars where people will let you out at road junctions , and small kids on pedestrian crossings , tug on their parents hands and point and wave , pull out on to a motorway and people move out of your way, but you have to keep your foot down hard to give them what they expect ? which will keep your fuel bill high . An amazing experience just to be a passenger in one going to the boat show every year to see what Sunseeker has to offer . 🤔👍👍👍 .
Awesome...back in 1980s. We had a Mk 2 Escort estate. Recruiting eastern europeans. But in Belfast we had Mk1 Golf GTI. And Hoby Hunters.. anyway saying too much. Merry xmas x great channel from a Heald green lad
Just like Bond,all very tongue in cheek,but the car really is something else. In my opinion,the Aston Martin DB 9 is the best looking and sounding car in world. Just stand back and look at it, just WOW !
Can't believe it's taken me this long to watch this video. It's a great one and the editing seems like you've stepped it up a Level! Well done mate and happy new year
Amazing car, not so amazing wheels! You interrupted me at the end when discussing price.. I went yeah, see mine was a good deal! LOVE LOVE my DB9. Never had so many positive reactions to a car!!
Great video and dead pan delivery as always. What a terrific way to get from A to B at 15 mpg. I confess that i actually thought for a second or two the DBS had 68 plates screwed to its front and rear, not 58 plates - that is the measure of the Aston's timeless good looks rather like our turtleneck wearing Bondesque host. Keep up the good work sir.
Christ Matt I thought I was the only one that spotted the Explorer 11 missing, until I read the comments. However I think the Omega was shown more than the Aston in fairness. Thanks for another great video, looking forward to the next. Wishing you and yours a Happy & Healthy New Year. Regards Peter
Still a stunning looking car almost 15 years later......
It is
Old Astons are way too stunning
For me, it's the most beautiful car ever. The distinguished design combined with the athletic stance.. just get those black wheels off there asap
Indeed it is. Just gorgeous.
Easily the nicest design 😎
You’ve knocked it out of the park with this one Matt. Also, love the fact you’re wearing an Omega - Bond style. Superb!
Thanks!
And a nice turtle neck

Wow, fantastic, what are you driving now out of interest?
@@Michael-4 Been through the car phase, so now a C43 Mercedes which is still pretty lively.
I don't care what anyone says this is the best looking car on the planet by far!
Love it , what a car. Rocking a Seamaster rather than your usual explorer is a nice touch. Black polo neck very milk tray. Nice one Matt.
“ milk tray “ .. showing your age 😂
Matt editing is getting better and better...its fun to watch 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Had my manual DBS since 2020 and I absolutely love it, the best looking 'modern era' Aston in my opinion. Amazing car.
Very nice!
Likewise, Im on my second DBS and have had it 6 years, I doubt I'll ever sell
Merry Christmas from Germany, Matt and all the best for 2023. I‘m looking forward for lots of amazing videos from you. All the best!
Thanks for watching. All the best
Nice one Matt. Handled the 007 references tastefully. Enjoyed it very much. Well done and thanks for the content.
Thanks! I didn’t want to over-do it. Sometimes that’s a bit cringey
Owning an Aston is a wonderful experience! A very Merry Christmas to you and family. Wishing you a wonderful and productive New Year!
Thanks for watching. All the best

Fun Fact: In that Bond film where he rolls the Aston, they tried numerous time to get the car to flip. They used another brand of high-end luxury vehicle for testing out the stunt. That one rolled easily. But when it was the Aston's turn, it simply refused to do so.... at any speed. So, they fitted the bottom of the car with a large pneumatic device that could be instantly deployed at the press of a remote control button.

That's how they've done car flips for years...

Epic video for Christmas. I am glad I don't know too much detail about car parts - finding a Fiesta part on a super car might lead to the odd sleepless night!
Well done mate the intro was really good
Greetings from Germany
Thank you. All the best
You've knocked it out the ball park with this..this is top quality production..it's very professional 👌 excellent review top marks high peak auto💯👌
Thanks!
I’m pleasantly surprised to realize that you’ve got yourself the No Time to Die Seamaster , a proper watch to review this proper car!
Bought my dad an Aston Martin driving experience for Christmas and then this comes out merry Christmas
Ah very thoughtful
Lovely car, still looks beautiful after all these years. Also, that’s a nice Omega Speedmaster Diver. Makes me think you have a nice watch collection.
One of my favourite cars ever. I wouldn't have my wheel centers in black though. I'd constantly be expecting a call from the 80s, wanting their style back.
Matt.....I just bought a new 4k monitor for crimbo, and this was the first screening it has had.
I am 17 seconds in and i just literally shit a cat!🤣
Thought my £1000 new purchase was shagged, but it was your intro....lol
Merry Christmas young man, thank you for all your time, effort and professionalism in giving us muppets the benefit of your knowledge.
Superb channel.
Love the fact you included the limited edition 007 Omega submariner watch as well....classy, have one myself. What better partnership than Omega and DBS.
More watches Matt please.
Yes, DB9 every single day for me. I do recall, however, back in 2017 I organised a "run-out" for the Midlands section of a well known motoring forum. One of the guys that pitched up was driving a black DBS. It was de-catted and it sounded the billy bollocks! Didn't sound as good as the Lola T70 Spider that also joined the convoy after the mid-way stop at a Shropshire airfield. 7 litre V8's with open pipes tend to do that....
Seen one today in a car cafe today and it had a bind pierce brosnan cut out beside it 👍☘️
Hi , one of the few cars where people will let you out at road junctions , and small kids on pedestrian crossings , tug on their parents hands and point and wave , pull out on to a motorway and people move out of your way, but you have to keep your foot down hard to give them what they expect ? which will keep your fuel bill high . An amazing experience just to be a passenger in one going to the boat show every year to see what Sunseeker has to offer . 🤔👍👍👍 .
That’s exactly right. You don’t get the same reaction in a 911
Love the car. Mate had one let me drive, loved it. That engine and what a GT! Nice one Matt!
Excellent Matt, loved the intro and of course the Omega.....fantastic
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome...back in 1980s. We had a Mk 2 Escort estate. Recruiting eastern europeans. But in Belfast we had Mk1 Golf GTI. And Hoby Hunters.. anyway saying too much. Merry xmas x great channel from a Heald green lad
Correct db9 save cash. Styling wise the s is trying to hard. Bang on. Merry crimbo mate.
Thanks Matt .I am a Bond fan& having this car is oh so awesome..Happy 60 years to JB....
Thanks for watching
My dad's best mate had the DB9 and he drove me to my wedding after a detour it was an amazing experience.
Just like Bond,all very tongue in cheek,but the car really is something else. In my opinion,the Aston Martin DB 9 is the best looking and sounding car in world. Just stand back and look at it, just WOW !
Just love these but to old now and could not get out without falling out. Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍
I think the DB9 is my favourite all time Aston Martin, I prefer it’s styling to the more recent offerings with their tiny headlights.
Great video, I love the 007 references down to the matching Omega 007 sea master 🙌
Can't believe it's taken me this long to watch this video. It's a great one and the editing seems like you've stepped it up a Level! Well done mate and happy new year
Great to see you were stirred but not shaken. Merry Christmas 🎅
Thanks!
Amazing car, not so amazing wheels! You interrupted me at the end when discussing price.. I went yeah, see mine was a good deal! LOVE LOVE my DB9. Never had so many positive reactions to a car!!
Superb and that V 12 noise ....OH YES !!! my dream Aston (if i won the lottery) would be a V12 Vanquish mmmmmmmmm
Love the editing. On top of that, an extremely beautiful car.
Thanks
Great video and dead pan delivery as always. What a terrific way to get from A to B at 15 mpg. I confess that i actually thought for a second or two the DBS had 68 plates screwed to its front and rear, not 58 plates - that is the measure of the Aston's timeless good looks rather like our turtleneck wearing Bondesque host. Keep up the good work sir.
Thanks!
Christ Matt
I thought I was the only one that spotted the Explorer 11 missing, until I read the comments.
However I think the Omega was shown more than the Aston in fairness.
Thanks for another great video, looking forward to the next.
Wishing you and yours a Happy & Healthy New Year.
Regards
Peter
