Premium 4 seater convertible
Discussion
Fancy moving up from my AM V8 Vantage to a larger convertible, probably not a keeper and just to enjoy it over the summer. It will be used as a daily.
Max budget £70k (used). Current thoughts are:
- Aston DB9
- Bentley Conti GTC
- Maserati GranCabrio
Seems the Maserati is the cheapest for a given mileage/year. But I'm concerned by the reliability. Thoughts?
DB9 I really prefer the recent facelift but out of my budget. Original DB9 looks a bit dated and wouldn't be much different to my Vantage.
Conti is probably most luxurious and comfortable but a bit of a panzer with a bad rep.
Any thoughts or cars I might have missed out?

Maserati for me I think. The Bentley is a monster and as you say has a terrible image. The DB9 is rather lovely but would probably attract more attention that I'd like. Bet the Maserati will depreciate horrendously though, also isn't it more of a Jaguar XKR competitor than DB9/Bentley competitor?
Being sensible the Bentley is probably the most dependable though!
