1996 Aston Martin DB7 Coupe review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior trim started falling off within days of me buying the car.
Alloy wheel trim was corroding when I bought the car. I bought a new pair of alloys a week after buying the car.
Air conditioning packed up within a month of buying the car.
General comments?
The Aston has given me a few electrical, body and interior problems in the six months that I've owned it, but I can truly say that it is the best car I've ever driven. Its engine has superb performance and the chassis matches this with brilliant handling.
It was nine years old when I paid £30,000 for it, and despite being expensive to buy and expensive to run, I've never regretted buying it.
