Hi,

Looking for a 2+2 sports car, budget around £25k, needs to be auto.

Narrowed it down to pretty much a 2006 DB9 or a 2011/12 Maserati Gran Tourismo. Which would you go for?

Are there any issues regarding these cars that people know of? Are there any alternatives that would be better.

Cheers!

It would be the Maserati everytime, it's the better car & a proper 2+2 as well as having a proper boot. I went for the Aston first & lived with it;s impracticality for (the Bamford exhaust was the main reason) two months before I had to admit I'd bought the wrong car.

The Maserati was better in every way (I could fit much more comfortably for starters) & once I'd fitted the Novitec/Larini system I didn't even miss the exhaust note, what amazed me was that they're practically the same size but the GT always felt more spacious.

The Maserati from those particular 2.

One of my favourite cars.

I'd have a DBS over it but that's way out of budget.

GT every time. The DB9 isn't really a 2+2, unless the +2 have no legs..
