Driven - Aston Martin DB9 vs Porsche 997

Osnabrueck · 12-22-2005, 09:14 PM

Hi everybody. I had the rare pleasure yesterday of driving the Aston Martin DB9 head to head with the 997. If enough of you are interested, I'll post a full review of the drive and give my impressions on how these two cars stack up. For now, here's some photos:

This is great Osna, I remember doing a poll at the other forum on these two cars - Personally, I'd take the Porsche with no hesitation

Agreed, Porsche all the way!

Bring up your review please..I'm interested to see how these cars did for you.

Two very beautiful cars indeed. I'd have to go with Aston due to it being a more beautiful car to me. Love the 911 too, but the Aston is "bespoke".

Hmm, both perform well, both look great, but I'll take the Porsche. I want a car that's reliable and fast, I've heard Astons aren't too reliable.
