Still a stunning looking car almost 15 years later......
It is
Old Astons are way too stunning
For me, it's the most beautiful car ever. The distinguished design combined with the athletic stance.. just get those black wheels off there asap
Indeed it is. Just gorgeous.
Easily the nicest design 😎
You’ve knocked it out of the park with this one Matt. Also, love the fact you’re wearing an Omega - Bond style. Superb!
Thanks!
And a nice turtle neck

I noticed the Bond Omega too! 👌
Much prefer the Explorer 2.
I owned a 2008 DB9 for 3 years. It was not my daily driver but it was simply the most beautiful car I had ever seen and I had to own at least once in my life.
The build quality was amazing and that V12 sound was amazing. The major fault was the maintenance cost which was eye-watering.
You’re right about the Vantage; the proportions are not quite right, especially the grille shape.
The DB9 driver seats needed another inch of rearward adjustment for a 6’-1” driver.
Conclusion: loved it, but once was enough.
These small batch supercars are like supermodels. Stunning in many ways, especially when everything works, but also flawed and temperamental. You have to embrace that as part of the charisma and Humanity. Otherwise a robot built Lexus will do just fine.
Your James Bond edit was very Skyfall-esque👌🏾
Cheers!
Love it!
I had a DB9 from new for 2 years and it was completely reliable and maintenance costs were surprisingly very modest... worst being £2k for a set of new tyres... Great car and never failed to raise a silly grin every time... that exhaust note alone 😀
Very nice
my dad had one and had to pay 6k for an oil cooler lol
@@vrfan1236 Your dad must be rich
Wow, fantastic, what are you driving now out of interest?
@@Michael-4 Been through the car phase, so now a C43 Mercedes which is still pretty lively.
Matt editing is getting better and better...its fun to watch 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Glad you like it
Better and better he’s a genius 😂
He’s hired an editor
He hired Danny Boyle more like ! Brilliant 😂
Love it , what a car. Rocking a Seamaster rather than your usual explorer is a nice touch. Black polo neck very milk tray. Nice one Matt.
“ milk tray “ .. showing your age 😂
Never a dull moment in this channel thanks for the Christmas present that makes you dream 🤗🤗🤗
Cheers! All the best
Absolutely brilliant. So slick and pro. Thank you for the content this year, it gets better and better. On a side note, I’m appreciating Malaga at Christmas and all of the eclectic vehicles still going strong here. Maybe a video from here in 2023??? Cheers and all the best, Paul 👍🏻
So sad when you have to settle. 😉
Fun Fact: In that Bond film where he rolls the Aston, they tried numerous time to get the car to flip. They used another brand of high-end luxury vehicle for testing out the stunt. That one rolled easily. But when it was the Aston's turn, it simply refused to do so.... at any speed. So, they fitted the bottom of the car with a large pneumatic device that could be instantly deployed at the press of a remote control button. It shot out from the bottom of the car, and then she flipped.
Merry Christmas, Matt. 🎄
That’s right. I remember reading about that somewhere
That's how they've done car flips for years...
@@jamie_ar
Again, the first luxury vehicle they tested flipped very easily. When the Aston refused to do so, the technicians had to be called in to get it to flip.
@@NGMonocrom true enough, they already had the car rigged with the "flipper" as a backup. I thought you were implying that method was "invented" specifically for that scene but reading your comment again it doesn't really sound like that at all! Ignore me! :)
Happy Christmas, Thank for a good year, looking forward to 2023
Merry Christmas from Germany, Matt and all the best for 2023. I‘m looking forward for lots of amazing videos from you. All the best!
Thanks for watching. All the best
Another excellent review Matt and I agree with most of your observations but 9:25 a couple of things: I had a DB9 this year for about 6 months. The maintenance costs were eye watering, the fit and finish wasn’t great and the tyre noise and ride were too harsh for a GT. However, it had more presence than any other car I’ve owned and walking towards it made me grin like a schoolboy. Would I buy one again? No. Am I glad I’ve shared the experience? Yes! Another cracking review Matt. Keep it up in 2023. Your down to earth, unpretentious style is refreshing. Thank you.
So what will you buy instead?
@@gb9399 I replaced it with a Jaguar XKR 5.0 supercharged. Not quite as exclusive but a great drive, sounds great and, in my opinion, a better finished interior. Hugely underrated cars, I think. Currently excellent value for a refined GT. they’re probably as cheap as they’re going to get right now for a decent one. Already has a classic feel and outperforms most at the traffic light Grand Prix, if you like that kind of thing!👍🏻😂
@@rorywilson462 nice choise, but are the maintenance costs not higher than a db9?
@@gb9399 Nope, an independent has looked after my XK for no more than a service of a standard saloon. I’ve paid much more to get an Audi serviced. I can’t recommend an XKR highly enough! 👍🏻
Honestly watching this channel grow is amazing. These are almost peak top gear esque reviews. Love it keep it up
Wow. Glad you like them! Thanks!
My favourite Aston...because of that Bond movie. It's those rear lights that do it for me! Loved the opening scenes Matt. 👍
The colour grading in this video... Perfection. Fantastic video!
Nice one Matt. Handled the 007 references tastefully. Enjoyed it very much. Well done and thanks for the content.
Thanks! I didn’t want to over-do it. Sometimes that’s a bit cringey
Owning an Aston is a wonderful experience! A very Merry Christmas to you and family. Wishing you a wonderful and productive New Year!
Thanks for watching. All the best
I don't care what anyone says this is the best looking car on the planet by far!
The engine sound does something, even through the video. Just a beautiful thing.
Loved it. Great job. And even got the right watch too.
Thanks!
Superb delivery Matt. Happy Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks! All the best
When is The Matt Bond movie hitting the big screens
I love that you're wearing a No Time to Die Omega Speedmaster. really cool attention to detail
Nicely shot, loving these videos and editing
Excellent choice of watch for the car as well! Nice little nod that, NTTD special omega? Makes a change from the explorer II.
Thanks for noticing. It’s the attention to detail 👌🏻
Enjoyed it as always thanks Matt Merry Christmas to you and your family all the best buddy
Thank you! Same to you
My dream car. Thx Matt for the review.
Merry Christmas Matt.
It’s hands down my favourite car. Despite it’s quirks - or perhaps because of them - it’s perfect.
Great video.
Were I to buy a Bond car, it'd be the Alfa Romeo 159 the villains used in Quantum of Solace. Sensible, stylish, sophisticated - without costing an arm and a leg.
Happy Christmas everybody!!!
Sorry ,but Aston Martin DBS is Bond...
@@merlin5481 Agreed, Sir. But I don't have the MI6 or the Exchequer to cover the running costs 😅
🤜 Great one. Spot on.
Great video :)
Personally, I'm sucker for the Vantage - I prefer the smaller size, and not having the waste space of those useless rear seats. But really the DB9/S is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
Brilliant review and coming from 006 I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New car 😄
Excellent video , Merry Christmas Matt 🎄⛄🧑🎄
Matt every now and then you put out a super stylish edit....the filming is borderline cinematic and the editing is spot on....I'm not suggesting you're not capable of such work but as an amature that has done a bit of this on youtube I know how hard it all can be......who helps you...ps making of an episode of your channel would make a great episode....because most folk don't understand the effort it takes.
Merry Christmas 🎅
Thanks! I appreciate it
Nice NTTD Omega Seamaster, Matt. Right choice for this car.
👌🏻
Lovely Touch with the Omega on the wrist
Wonderful episode...merry Xmas!
Beautiful 🙂
I like the 8 grand Omega Seamaster James bond anniversary edition, nice touch.
Attention to detail 👌🏻
I have 2 favourite car channel hosts - both are Poms, I have to admit ! Matt and Harry (Harry's Garage).
Between the 2 you get real world reviews, unbiased, non USA over hype...and not 75% devoted to track drives which have little to no relevance for we normal drivers. And with Matt his material is particularly relatable and practical - and as a northerner he's almost an Aussie ;-) .
Long may Matt and Harry keep doing reviews. Oh, and many thanks gentlemen.
Nicely done with the proper watch switch as well.
Love the new style intro matt, best car reviewer out there in terms of quality and depth of knowledge about the industry, keep up the good work. Ps that bond cutscene killed me🤣 Merry christmas
Haha thank you for watching.
Sorry have to disagree The new intro looks like its made by somebody who has just discovered the "effects" menu in a cheap video editor . The old one was/is much better . Simple and clean
@@bigfilsing it isn’t a new intro… it’s a one off Christmas/Bond special
@@HighPeakAutos Bah humbug ! Stunning car BTW but the bog standard one somehow looks to have more class
When I commented about the production value in the last video you were probably thinking, “Just you wait!”
Awesome video, and an incredible car. Amazingly even in a world of pebble shaped EVs this still looks current and stunning, and I don’t think it will ever stop.
Ian Callum is a genius.
Yes! Thank you!
Excellent Matt, loved the intro and of course the Omega.....fantastic
Glad you enjoyed it
Merry Christmas and all the best for 2023.... content always a good to watch
Thanks. Same to you
Nice one Matt, have a good Christmas and New Year too.
Even a nod to JB with the watch... very understated. Thanks again for the great content!
Excellent Matt. Changed the goal posts again!
Thanks
Classy video production. Great review.
Thanks
Love that you're wearing the 'No time to die' Omega. Attention to detail 🤌🏾
Great video
What a spectacular car! Great review.
Merry Christmas to you too from Jamaica 🇯🇲
I must say - your videos are a breath of fresh air. Not a fan of most of these car review pages but I’ve actually sat and watched about 10 videos in one sitting.
Love the titanium omega also 👍🏼
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Nice watch ! Very 007 great vid merry Christmas
Great video. Love the watch too. Perfect video for Christmas
Nice. Thank you.😊
What a Beautiful looking motor real head turner ! , Great opening film work
As mentioned Matt, brilliant editing and fab little touches including the watch!! Never owned such a car, probably never will through choice but they are absolutely gorgeous to look at. Best of luck in 2023!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to see you were stirred but not shaken. Merry Christmas 🎅
Thanks!
Magic video, completely oozes Bond. Keep em coming. Happy new Year to you too.
Happy new year!
Merry Christmas mate, thanks for all the uploads so far this year.
The sound of that exhaust actually gives me goosebumps, that car is absoultey stunning
The bond watch is a nice touch!
Another great video! Not my bag an Aston, but I can see why people love them. Merry Christmas, nice to see your subscriber number going up 😀
Great job on video
Another great year Mat - Congratulations.
Absolutely loved this video Matt. Being a huge Bond fan since I was 9 years old, and a follower of your channels, this was the video I always hoped you'd make, even adding the OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300m James Bond 007 2020 Edition watch from NTTD and the black tactical neck from Spectre ! The quality, editing and humour in the videos as well as the practicalities of owning the DBS have taken your videos up to another level. Love it! Thankyou so much. Now get yourself down to EON for that screentest.
Haha i wish
Great stuff, Matt.
Thanks! All the best
Really enjoyed this. Great editing. Happy Christmas
Beautiful cinematic, you are the quintessial British man.
This is the dream car
brilliant video Matt, loved it
Thanks!
Just love these but to old now and could not get out without falling out. Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍
Fantastic review....I've had my DB9.2 (2014) for a few years now and am absolutely smitten every time I drive her....btw she is STILL difficult to park, so 2x on the park sensors 🥃🥃
Thanks Matt .I am a Bond fan& having this car is oh so awesome..Happy 60 years to JB....
Thanks for watching
Stunning production!
Thanks
You've knocked it out the ball park with this..this is top quality production..it's very professional 👌 excellent review top marks high peak auto💯👌
Thanks!
Ooow very smoothly done
Thanks
Merry Christmas!!!!
Great video- stunning car, nice watch. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a blinding new year.
Great Episode Matt 😊. Lovely looking car also
one of my favorite modern aston martins, absolutely incredible looking cars if you ask me
Can't believe it's taken me this long to watch this video. It's a great one and the editing seems like you've stepped it up a Level! Well done mate and happy new year
Love the editing. On top of that, an extremely beautiful car.
Thanks
Happy Christmas Matt. I look forward to more great videos and puns next year.
Seen one today in a car cafe today and it had a bind pierce brosnan cut out beside it 👍☘️
I absolutely love this!
Thanks!
The cinematics got so much better! Keep it up
Cheers
Even wears a bond edition watch, lovely touch. Solid vid as always!
Thanks!
Wow, great video! Merry Christmas!
Thanks. All the best
What an awesome review! The intro cinematography was amazing Matt! Btw, nice touch wearing that Omega!
Glad you liked it!!
Love the car. Mate had one let me drive, loved it. That engine and what a GT! Nice one Matt!
Beautiful car Matt. I can see myself in it travelling to the supermarket about 2 miles away or to the relatives in London once a year. Its a dream car and its expenses ensure it will stay in my dreams rather than my drive.
DBS and a V12 Vanquish, hmmmm. Thanks Matt' and happy Christmas and great New Year :)
Sounds stunning 😮
Epic video for Christmas. I am glad I don't know too much detail about car parts - finding a Fiesta part on a super car might lead to the odd sleepless night!
Fabulous car and it makes you feel really special especially when you place the crystal key into the black ash centre console. My DB9 is always driven on the paddles and is enough luxury and performance keeping me out of potential trouble with the DBS.
Nice video, happy holidays 👌
Loved 2022 All The Best For 2023 😀
Your video quality keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas!
Thanks! All the best
0:54 Aw that was some sick directing man! Cool music too! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
Very Stylish Video. Best yet!
Thanks!
