Besides some minor interior tweaks and more standard features, the Aston Martin DB9 remains the same for 2006. This top-shelf sports coupe packs some serious punch under the hood with a 5.9 L, 450 hp V12 powertrain and standard 6 speed automatic transmission. The DB9 comes in 2 main trims: the Coupe and the Volante Convertible. The Volante gives you standard 6 speed automatic transmission or optional 6 speed manual.
As you might expect with most sports cars, the DB9 guzzles gas at a rate of 12 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway. All 3 trims feature a long list of standard features that includes air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, power/leather seats, cd player, ABS brakes, traction control, and stability control. Navigation system comes as an option. The DB9 has 2 doors and seats 4 for those long trips to nowhere in particular. Top speed hits 186 mph and the DB9 goes from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds.
Overall, drivers like the V12 engine and sleek styling. In fact, they like it so much that they can overlook the gas-guzzling tendencies and other minor shortcomings. If you need a status symbol in the lower six figures, you can't do much better than the 2006 Aston Martin DB9.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers are thrilled with the 2006 Aston Martin DB9, praising its stunning looks and powerful performance. Many highlight the amazing acceleration and luxurious feel, describing it as a dream car that offers a delightful driving experience. However, some note that it's a bit heavy for cornering and lacks cargo space and back seat comfort, which is to be expected in a sports car."
An ultra luxury sports car for the automotive connoisseur. It turns heads at every stop light, restaurant or club. It has been quite reliable and overall a wonderful experience to own. The car is fast, very fast however it is not for cornering at high speeds. It is an elegant grand touring motorcar that make you feel like James Bond whether you are in jeans or a tuxedo.
June 3, 2013I love my DB9. Owning an Aston Martin has been a dream of mine for most of my adult life and I was fornutate to recently find an "06 for sale with just 1850 miles on it. Virtually a new car. It's by far the most beautiful car built-bar none. It may not be the most powerful in its class or the best handling supercar out there, but the combination of it's superb styling, unparalelled exhaust note & a peformance package that's plenty good enough for most discerning drivers for me make the Aston Martin DB9 one of the most desirable cars in the world. I'm fortunate to be able to own & drive one.
August 1, 2011This car is the best looking car on the market thats what I think the performance is magnificent and the ride comfort is really good and quit relaxing for long trips, if you feel the need to lay your foot down the car will with out a doubt put a smile on your face.

May 10, 2010Heavy for a 2 door. Not much in the way of a back seat or trunk, but who cares anyway. While barrier to entry is high, the maintenance costs are pretty low. Polite at low speeds but gobs of torque when you need it. Acceleration is amazing but cornering is a bit heavy (remember this is a 3500 lb car). Easy to drive for a car who's speedometer goes to 220.
June 30, 2009The Aston DB9 - with nearly 500 (angry) BHP thumping out of a stonking 6L V12 this car is a full on experience. The handling is lively to say the least, the engine sounds absolutely amazing and it is a truly rapid car, very stable at high speed. The DB9 is a gorgeous car in pictures and even more so in the metal.
January 15, 2009Yes great value. Car looks sound and appears to be mechanically sound.
