Reviews of the 2009 Aston Martin DB9 Volante
-
CNET Review
The Good: A stunning exterior and beautiful coachwork mark the 2009 Aston Martin DB9 Volante. The standard 700-watt stereo system is good, and an available 1,000-watt Bang & Olufsen system is even better. A hard-drive-based navigation system works quickly, and the Bluetooth system shows cell phone contact lists.
The Bad: The ride is a little stiff, with no comfort settings, and the DB9 gulps gas. The navigation system LCD integration looks like a hack, and the overall electronics interface isn't well-integrated.
The Bottom Line: If you want and can afford an Aston Martin DB9, you will probably get one, no matter what anyone else says. But it's nice to know that the cabin electronics are modern enough for cell phones and iPods.
