For over a year I’ve driven my DB9 Volante daily and it has been surprisingly practical. Yes, fuel economy is not great, but the comfort and joy it provides during the mundane commute is worth it.

No way I'd daily a DB9. They are cars that are supposed to be cherished and preserved. The maintenance costs would be insane if you are racking up miles every day plus.

Driving a DB9 Volante every day is like eating caviar for breakfast every day: possible, but not really the point. Save it for special occasions.

The DB9 Volante may not have the newest tech, but the driving experience is timeless. Modern cars can't do that V12 sound and the connection to the road.

It's apples and oranges. Some prefer the visceral, analog experience that the DB9 provides. Not all cars have gotten faster, but the ones that have are not necessarily more enjoyable.

The DB9’s infotainment is laughably out of date, but that’s not why you buy this car. That driving experience is still one of the best, it's all about that.
