Yeah guys, I hate to break it to you, but the car is a piece of junk. I am the unfortunate owner of a DB9 Volante and it's (quite literally - this is not hyperbole) been in the shop for at least half the time I've owned it. In less than 60 days, an engine oil line ruptured and the passenger-side airbag AND backup/parking sensor have shorted. In addition, the brakes squeal and the chassis rattles over bumps. The car actually is going back in this weekend because the boot fills with water whenever it rains. Don't believe the hype. My last car was a 911 and, once I unload this hunk of junk, I'm going back to German brands.
@@LesFieldPhotos Agreed, My 05 DB9 has never had a single issue, although sometimes the sound system doesn't work, mechanically the car is very sound, more reliable than the Bentley it replaced, and alot more realistic than the Viper-ACR I owned. It really replaced both cars !!
Funny how "the prettiest car of all time" rhymes with "DB9"
Apparently he was quite drunk doing that bit
Richard Porter off Smith Petrol confirmed this in the latest Sniff and Smith Podcast from there live event at Aston Workshops
@@Pheanom316 he said it in the smoking tire podcast too
Certainly looks it 😂
Came here from Sniff & Smith's latest Podcast, yep, he is merry
@@martinkeenewhere can I watch it
Magnificence man, magnificence car
He's drunk here lol
Which episode and series of Top Gear is this?
Think this is the race he did against may and Hammond. One of the first race challenges they did if i remember correctly. Not sure which episode.

Thomas Ferrugia Nobody cares.
I' e got a '07 DB9 Volante and its one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. Much better than the 8 Porsches and 5 Mercs I had before it.
You got ripped off 😂 go to a more reliable dealer

Oh no poor you. Get a bit of perspective. No one who owns a car as expensive as that is unfortunate
