| Description |
| The Aston Martin DB7 is a gorgeous car to look at but when compared to the new Aston Martin Vanquish it looks dated. The Grand Tourer features amazing V12 engines, bags of performance and costs a hug amount to run. |

The Aston Martin DB7 is very similar to the Jaguar XJ-S from the 1970's ere when it comes to the chassis. The DB7 is not a great competitor in its field with small interior space with a lack of useful equipment and the body is pretty stiff.
Inside Aston Martin DB7 there are thick carpets in Leather as standard but the buttons on equipment are confusing and have a horrible plastic feel.
It's easy to forget about the downsides of the Aston Martin DB7 when you get behind the wheel of the powerful and forgiving V12 engine. Get the DB7 out to a wide open road for the best driving experience and explore the soft handling.
The Aston Martin DB7 is by no means a logical choice but it sure is fun and easy to get attached to. |
