You can DD a GT3.  They have aircon now.


That's funny, because my car no longer has it.

People on this board that can't handle a GT3 as a daily driver but think thata DB9 would be great either are on the wrong board, or don't know anything about the GT3.  This is not an RS.


It's not a matter of not being able to handle the GT3, or having delusions of grandeur over the DB9; I just like the Aston more.

Don't be so touchy.  I think you're making the DB9 out to be a puppy and the GT3 to be a snarling pit bull.  If anything the GT3 would make more dependable daily driver, and most likely wouldn't be noticeably uncomfortable.  The DB9 is a fine car, but compared to the GT3, it's overgrown.

Minpin's problem is that he IS too touchy. He'll get angry or hurt at the slightest push.

I guess so but as a DD I would still prefer the DB9. Just my opinion I guess.  :huh:

That's my thinking as well. These things were made to ask of each member's opinion, not to tell which member is right and which member is "wrong".

GT3 was named the best handling car by MT.  The DB9 wasn't even in consideration.

And it's not so devastatingly gorgeous, either.  Attractive, yes, but don't be so dramatic.

You're quite right, the Vantage V8 and XK8 hold the title.

Lookswise?  I think the DB9 looks better than both of those.  But current Astons aren't as good looking as older ones.  Especially the V8.
