The DB9 Volante is regarded by some as a luxury grand tourer, but not really practical for the day to day. There are those owners who swear by its comfort and usability, while others will argue that it's too precious and maintenance heavy to be used on a daily basis. Fuel consumption, reliability and storage space are factors. The V12 engine and convertible top make things more complicated, but the GT nature of the car suggests it could be used regularly. The question also arises of whether to use such a special car every day lessens its appeal or you should enjoy it as often as possible. There are many pros and cons about using the DB9 Volante as a primary car or only using it for special occasions.
