    The DB9 is more reliable and, in my opinion, has a higher quality interior, but the Vanquish looks better.

    I would go with DB9. IMO the newer, the better (in terms of years, reliability wise; not talking about status/symbol).

    So confused guys!!! Thanks for all your input. I know the vanquish is more exclusive and has the power of a BEAST, but I think the DB9 has the nicer interior and the reliability factor. My father is leaning towards the vanquish. Both cars are in the same price range. Decisions, Decisions I tell ya.

    DB9 def. has a better interior. Older Vanquish interiors are VERY dated. They did not change to a DB9ish interior until 2006 for the Vanquish S. We even had a late 05 Vanquish S and it still had a very dated interior. Hell, even had some Ford Switches and key fob. LOL

    In my opinion the DB9 is the smarter buy, but if the Vanquish tugs at his heart, well then he has to decide...does he buy with his brain, or with his heart. Arguments for both ways.

    Vanquish looks and sounds beautiful, however, after driving one with the f1 gearbox I was very disappointed. The gearbox is very clunky feeling with rough shifts.

    I am curious how the m/t replacement feels.


    I've also driven a DB9 volante and thought it was amazing. The interior finishing is better too IMO

    My DB9 is a manual, and has the Sports pack option...2 musts imo...the paddles were very underwhelming.
    I also put a Quicksilver exhaust on it...sounds great right from the get go...no waiting for 4K rpms for the sound.
