Okay I will bite. DB9 Volante 2005, best feature the sound of the naturally aspirated V12 with the roof down ! Worst battery always flat, wouldn’t last 2 weeks without charging. DB11 V12 2017 best feature the effortless power and steering (I know the reviews hated it but it worked for me), worst feature keeping Ultramarine Black clean. DBX 550 2021, best feature rear seats ! Worst feature the key opening the boot from your pocket without you realising even a 100m away.

easy for me - first AM purchase 2009 Vantage 4.7 roadster - best is the looks and the sound, the worst is the awful visibility when reversing

I've owned 2 so far as follows:

2009 4.3 Vantage. Best: the sound, it's looks, great servicing around my part of the world. Worst: poor Bridgstone tyres but replaced quickly.

2019 AM6 Vantage. Best: looks, sound. Worst: Pirelli tyres, rear diff cooler replaced twice under warranty within a year, front light condensation and fight with warranty to cover it, luckily they did but only due to a failed MOT otherwise the price would be £4000 for one unit. In the end found the car boring to drive.

2010 Rapide; Best is the fabulous noise that it blasts out. Worst is accessing the battery underneath a full on passenger seat you hqve to remove.
