Still a stunning looking car almost 15 years

You’ve knocked it out of the park with this one Matt. Also, love the fact you’re wearing an Omega - Bond style. Superb!

I had a DB9 from new for 2 years and it was completely reliable and maintenance costs were surprisingly very modest... worst being £2k for a set of new tyres... Great car and never failed to raise a silly grin every time... that exhaust note alone 😀

[seedsaboveitall]

I don't care what anyone says this is the best looking car on the planet by far!

Matt editing is getting better and better...its fun to watch 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I owned a 2008 DB9 for 3 years. It was not my daily driver but it was simply the most beautiful car I had ever seen and I had to own at least once in my life.
The build quality was amazing and that V12 sound was amazing. The major fault was the maintenance cost which was eye-watering.
You’re right about the Vantage; the proportions are not quite right, especially the grille shape.
The DB9 driver seats needed another inch of rearward adjustment for a 6’-1” driver.
Conclusion: loved it, but once was enough.

Love it, what a car. Rocking a Seamaster rather than your usual explorer is a nice touch. Black polo neck very milk tray. Nice one Matt.

Another excellent review Matt and I agree with most of your observations but 9:25 a couple of things: I had a DB9 this year for about 6 months. The maintenance costs were eye watering, the fit and finish wasn’t great and the tyre noise and ride were too harsh for a GT. However, it had more presence than any other car I’ve owned and walking towards it made me grin like a schoolboy. Would I buy one again? No. Am I glad I’ve shared the experience? Yes! Another cracking review Matt. Keep it up in 2023. Your down to earth, unpretentious style is refreshing. Thank you.

Merry Christmas from Germany, Matt and all the best for 2023. I‘m looking forward for lots of amazing videos from you. All the best!

[GeeMilner]

Had my manual DBS since 2020 and I absolutely love it, the best looking 'modern era' Aston in my opinion. Amazing car.

Nice one Matt. Handled the 007 references tastefully. Enjoyed it very much. Well done and thanks for the content.

I have 2 favourite car channel hosts - both are Poms, I have to admit ! Matt and Harry (Harry's Garage).

Between the 2 you get real world reviews, unbiased, non USA over hype...and not 75% devoted to track drives which have little to no relevance for we normal drivers. And with Matt his material is particularly relatable and practical - and as a northerner he's almost an Aussie ;-) .

Long may Matt and Harry keep doing reviews. Oh, and many thanks gentlemen.

Never a dull moment in this channel thanks for the Christmas present that makes you dream 🤗🤗🤗

[lordmartyn]

Owning an Aston is a wonderful experience! A very Merry Christmas to you and family. Wishing you a wonderful and productive New Year!

[randomguy]

Honestly watching this channel grow is amazing. These are almost peak top gear esque reviews. Love it keep it up

[liamtg]

I must say - your videos are a breath of fresh air. Not a fan of most of these car review pages but I’ve actually sat and watched about 10 videos in one sitting.

Love the titanium omega also 👍🏼

[NGMonocrom]

So sad when you have to settle. 😉
Fun Fact: In that Bond film where he rolls the Aston, they tried numerous time to get the car to flip. They used another brand of high-end luxury vehicle for testing out the stunt. That one rolled easily. But when it was the Aston's turn, it simply refused to do so.... at any speed. So, they fitted the bottom of the car with a large pneumatic device that could be instantly deployed at the press of a remote control button. It shot out from the bottom of the car, and then she flipped.

Merry Christmas, Matt. 🎄

I actually arrived in London a couple of days ago for a Christmas holiday, and almost immediately got sick. Now I'm laying in bed at my hotel, and what would be a better way to cheer up than a High Peak Autos video about James Bond's Aston Martin! Great stuff!

[EinkOLED]

Superb delivery Matt. Happy Christmas to you and your family.

The engine sound does something, even through the video. Just a beautiful thing.
