Re: DB9 Volante

So from what you have said I assume that the DB9 is better...Good to hear!

I have just taken delivery of a DB9 Volante. I dont see the problem with the interior quality, its loads better than the Vanquish, which uses loads of Ford switchgear. Ok there ase a couple of Jag bits on my car, but the Bently is a VW if you peel away the skin.

I special orderd our DB9, and it has full leather and suade trimmed dash, inlayed with polished black Granite and trimmed with brushed aluminium. It looks stunning, and Is one of the best new cars I have ever purchased.

Congratulations. I wish I had the financial resources to make such a purchase as well. Perhaps you could post some pictures of your car. There are so many options and combinations of colours that its always great to see what people have come up with.

Quality issues with the DB9 is unfortunate to hear about. Hopefully the issues will be dealt with quickly but when you pay over $100,000 for a car one would expect the problems to be ironed out beforehand.
Having ordered a new DB9 which is expected to arrive in the next few months I have had the fortunate experince of talking with the factory about many of the items that everyone is talking about. The car that was tested was not a final car from the point of view of the interior and was given only for road testing. I have been assured that all of the interior items that everyone talks about have and will be addressed before the DB9 hits the States. I believe them. They really care about their cars and customers and it is very evident when you speak with them.

Re: DB9 Volante

I really hope Aston will fix all the problems. However the car I was driving is a final car, but if Aston can do something about the cheap plastic parts it would be a great improvement. What I hear is that the strut bar has been modified already.

Congratulations on your new DB9. I have a Coupe on order and should be arriving in a month or two. I was wondering if you could clarify one point as I have conflicting information. I have been told that the DB9 does have an Outside Temperature Gauge that has a read out in the car so you can tell the outside temperature. I can't find any literature that in fact says the car actually has this feature. Does your car have this feature?

I'd love to show you some, but I dont seem to be able to attatch things to my posts. I checked my user settings and It says that I am not allowed. I've tried to contact the moderator, but no response. What do I do?

Re: DB9 Volante

Most ISPs give people a place to put up a website. You could post the images there and then just link to them.
