      It's horrible considering the price point and the gorgeous interiors of the DB9 and DB11. In the DB9 you can fold down the atrocious Garmin so all you have is gorgeous wood and leather.
      What were they thinking? The switchgear and vents look like they came out of a Nissan Versa. So disappointing.

    • @adampetten5349
      @adampetten5349 Před 3 lety +8

      It's way past early 2000's. More 2016-2017. More a BlackBerry approach in center console. Some people like Buttons. Even the Most recent non Mercedes infotainment was 2012-2013 level.

    • @canyonaro
      @canyonaro Před 3 lety +4

      I don't mind the buttons & the infotainment system is fine. I mind the cheap gray plastic look & switchgear. Compare those buttons and vents to the ones on the new Porsche 911. Or the old Vantage. It's a big step back and I don't understand it because the exterior is gorgeous!

      Most Aston's have a sub-par interior for their price point, including the new DBX.

    • @canyonaro
      @canyonaro Před 3 lety +1

      @@MikeKayK There's some sketchy switchgear borrowed from Volvo in it (mirror & seat controls) but overall, the DB9 has one of the most beautiful car interiors ever made. The leather, wood, alcantara headliner & fancy gauges made it feel ultra-premium. My mom had one & I recently sold it for her. My wife couldn't care less about cars and she drooled all over that thing. Everything about it feels special. Very sad to see it go; I would've bought it from her if I had space for it.
      I agree on the DBX dash/center stack (the seats are still beautifully done). Aston is in serious financial trouble and it's showing.

    The fonts are NOT italic. They are all caps, but not italic.

I only know two people who actually drive Astons, and they love all the quirks. The marque really knows its drivers.

    HERE'S WHY YOU WON'T SEE AN INDIAN OR AUSSIE COMMENT IN DOUG'S VIDEOS
    THISSS is a youtube comment and today im gonna show you why you rarely ever see comments made by asians or oceanians in THISSS channel. First, a little overview. Doug use to upload video always at the same time, exactly at 9:00 AM local time of San Diego. Now, im gonna start the quirks anf features of this situation discussing the fact that Daddy Doug actually thought about timing, because his audience is not in a really bad time the moment he uploads, California is in the earliest zone but the other 3 main time zones in the USA are all later in the morning. This of course also includes Dougs Canadian and latin American viewers. moving to Europe we find out that time there is actually pretty good to watch a Doug demuro video. Here in Spain where im sitting myself, its 18:00 when doug uploads. In fact, the time difference between the western countries (Spain and Portugal) and the eastern (Russia) is roughly just 1 hour, so basically Dougs whole European audience can comfortably watch some quirks and features in time during the evening. The problem is, India and Oceania, where douglas also has a bunch of viewers, are literally in the middle of the night when thisss occurs, and we all know that the great majority of most liked comments are posted a few minutes after the video is uploaded, so there you go, u got the answer to a question u didn't care about but u also didn't think about.

    Aside from the lock and unlock buttons being kinda far apart, I like that there are so many buttons in this car (not that I can afford it). It means you can change settings like AC quickly and then get back to what’s most important: enjoying the drive. It’s way better than having too few buttons and constantly fumbling through touch screen menus trying to perform simple tasks.

    Well, I must be getting there. I nailed Doug's scoring. I live in the Mission district of San Francisco. Now, as you know, restaurants and cafes have built temporary sidewalk street sitting areas. Dolores Park cafe is one block away. We like this setup..a lattice overhead breaks up the sun. But because the park has become much more of a neighborhood mecca, goofballs with their Subarus and Mustangs and bikes with super noisy pipes show off all day long. They don't come off the line fast, they just hog the airwaves. Sometimes they keep circling. The noise gets old really fast. Who cares if you're on the freeway. But neighborhood thunder is making me consider getting a bazooka.

      My experience with roadsters over the years is that they generally do not have a lot of interior space. They're built for two people, with just enough room in the trunk for a few soft-sided weekend bags. Even the coupe version of this, which theoretically has a back seat, is not built for hauling around more than two people (or two people and a couple of small children...mainly useful for carrying a few bags of groceries of a few soft-sided weekend bags). Anyway, a roadster is basically a fun two-seater convertible to have fund driving around in. If you need more room, buy a sedan or an SUV.
