I used to want a Ferrari 458 when I was a teenager, but now I’m 22 and I want a DB9! Maybe the Aston is slower and less flashy than the Ferrari, but the Aston is more elegant and classy. I’m still love the Ferrari 458, but I feel like she’s a car that you need to go fast to appreciate her and you need a race track to exploit her potential. Ferrari has other more civilized models like the FF, GTC4Lusso, California and Portofino, but none of them have the charm of the DB9. I love the Aston Martin DB9 because she look sleek and sexy on the outside, has a super fancy and luxurious cabin with wood, leather and aluminum and also she has the monstrous naturally aspirated Aston Martin V12 under the hood that for me the best sounding car engine on the industry! On day (I don’t know when), a cute little DB9 with cream interior will end up in my garage (I hope);)!
Very nice review of a beautiful car. Aston Martin between 2004 with the db9 and 2018 with the Vanquish really produced some of the most beautiful and timeless machine. The one i want is the late Vanquish which absolutely gorgeous but for a first Aston i would love a DB9. Hopefully in less than 4 years i will have one but i first need to check how much it will cost me here in France in term of service and assurance. What are your feedbacks 3 years later? Have tou driven it daily? Encounter any problems or grelims in the car?
The bonnet of a DB9 is not visible from the drivers seat which makes placing the car on the road a little disconcerting, however, with miles under your belt confidence builds and you can relax and enjoy this wonderful Aston Martin. The only (not quite) issue with a DB9 is that you can see the beautiful exterior when driving it ......
Great review ... I own one ( racing green which is a rare color) and have just had new coils and plugs fitted . Tremendous power and quite easy to drive in town if you want. Just be careful to choose a parking spot with
How... how did you get an insurance quote if this was your first car? I have been on all the insurance websites and none will give me a quote on this car (I’m 25). Any advice?
@@takeitforadrive And it's actually a great idea, because we never know where to put this darn paper, do we ? BTW, I am considering buying one (used) EXACTLY the same color. You have great taste: For me, it is the most beautiful car ever built. Mine (my future) has a manual transmission. V12, atmo, manual : God exists ! :)
KedlubenX Thanks! Dont really see a lot of those for some reason, or not enough frost here to actually look for one! Yes, all my videos after this one is done with an external mike, check them out!
Review was good talking and driving needs better location. Hard to concentrate when the traffic behind looked like they were going to drive over you...Hate seeing an Aston holding up traffic...
Nick Smith Thanks for the comment! As I mention in the description this was my first attempt and I lost over an hour of footage actually driving the car. Check out my latest Aston Martin review, it should be a lot better 👍
Congrats on your first review. Its nice to see people follow their passion.
ULOOKN Thanks, really appreciate the comment! 🙌
Beautiful car! So timeless
Wow So impressed What a wonderful review
vicky taljaardt Thanks!

Same here, the 458 is still one of my dream cars!
DB9 was peak Aston. New regulations will never allow cars to be as good as this
I think it's the best looking car ever built. And if you can find one with a manuel transmission, it's the closest thing to heaven.
and being a dbs :)
It's _still_ an incredibly handsome automobile!
Congrats! I need to do a first review of my Rapide…I hope I get as much traction as you!
Great to see a car enthusiast channel in Cape Town ❤️🇿🇦
Thanks Greg!
Awesome review. Well done. A timeless design that will never go out of style.
Really good review, well done for not putting music over it👍🏻
johnc5clive Thanks! Glad you noticed! 😉

Very good review for your first attempt. Look forward to watching your other reviews.
bill flannigan Thanks Bill! Appreciate your comment!
One interesting thing I noticed on the Rapide is that the front seat belt buckles are covered in leather but the ones in the back are not.
Great review ... I own one ( racing green which is a rare color) and have just had new coils and plugs fitted . Tremendous power and quite easy to drive in town if you want. Just be careful to choose a parking spot with
Great stuff! Well done for a great review
Bernardt van der Spuy Thanks for the feedback!
When you order Doug Demuro from Wish ☺ . Jk awesome video, I still remember driving db9 in nfs most wanted as a kid.
haha, thats exactly what I was going for! Thanks for the comment!
I think just to be mentioned with him for the moment is an accomplishment for itself
great review & awesome car - think I might get one
Nice Bra! Well done.
Awesome video!!
Esperance Potgieter Thanks!
Nice Review my man.. Keep going.. And all the best... ❤️❤️❤️
Still a stunning car
awsome review, would love to watch you making a review of the DBS from casino royale
N B Thanks, I would love to review that car!
Browsing through your great car reviews👍, which one would you pick out of these 3... SL55 AMG, AM Vantage V8 or AM DB9 V12? cheers from Norwegian subs
Hi, thanks for subbing! I think I would pick the Vantage V8. To me it has the best looks and I love the sound of a V8!
@@takeitforadrive thanks for getting back to me, much appriciated, yeah a V8 rumble is Nice!👍😎
I ended up buying a LOW mileage 2010 Ford Mustang Roush Stage 3, #72/103. It has 550hp/700nm. 😃
Nice once dude!
Rolbos Overland Thanks!
Great review, and I own one!
John Chambers Thanks, enjoy that V12!
Do you still love it?
@@jimgoodwin6294 Absolutely, I'd never sell, mine is unique as its manual, iron ore trim and oyster silver, only one in the world!
super car but very costly if it goes wrong My advice is buy the latest model you can early ones had some faults
I too, had a very early one of these - exactly as you say, amazing, to the Nth degree!!!
Thought that Prado wanted to give your arse a kiss !!! 😂
How... how did you get an insurance quote if this was your first car? I have been on all the insurance websites and none will give me a quote on this car (I’m 25). Any advice?
I think the title is misleading, its my first car review, not my first car unfortunately…
9:53: this is meant go put your motorway toll ticket, not tour credit card ! :) Nice video, btw..
Thanks Chris! I wondered what that was for...
@@takeitforadrive And it's actually a great idea, because we never know where to put this darn paper, do we ? BTW, I am considering buying one (used) EXACTLY the same color. You have great taste: For me, it is the most beautiful car ever built. Mine (my future) has a manual transmission. V12, atmo, manual : God exists ! :)
Will this car ever age ?
StraightHugo Nope!
it's the golden ratio.
I own one and the buttons in the middle you can change them into glass/crystal very nice car
Cruise control buttons are right out of a 2002 up Thunderbird.
10:23 It´s a rear window defroster... And it looks the same in every single car :) Otherwise, nice review. Consider an external microphone.
KedlubenX Thanks! Dont really see a lot of those for some reason, or not enough frost here to actually look for one! Yes, all my videos after this one is done with an external mike, check them out!
@@takeitforadrive Cool, will do.
Actually, it’s a front windscreen demister
You are right. Those two look almost the same.
How's the ride comfort? I heard its pretty rough even on motorways
It was a little hard, but not too bad. Easy too live with
AMAZING (It's my dream car to)
Oscar Procter Glad you enjoyed it! Please subscribe to see more videos coming soon!
Happen to know the name of the color?
Unfortunately not...
Nice hewwwwd!! 🤣🥲😂
Doug Demuro's son, but for his "first" I wish I could have done as good a job as he did, well done
😂 Thanks!
@@takeitforadrive Exciting to see a reply from the man himself. I want to do car reviews in Jamaica too soon.
@@takeitforadrive do a first generation BMW X6 a really well aged car if you ask me
My hellcat go vroom

If i had a dollar for everytime he said aston martin
Je l adore beaute classe et le son ....
Ahead of its time design wise
chill out doug demuro

Rims? Those are wheels.
What an astonishingly strange accent.
If you’re reading this Jesus Christ loves you unconditionally and He will never leave you 💛❤️💛
If he did leave you it would be in a DB9 I'm sure.......
