My Aston Martin Is Rubbish !

My Aston Martin Is Rubbish is the actual name of a web site, and after my friends experiences yesterday I can see why you would agree with this sentiment.

Yesterday the sun was out the sky was blue and people are still making frustrated by driving convertibles with the roof up. Do you really want a convertible ?

But I digress, the Aston in question is a DB9 Volante convertible.  It has been suffering from starting problems due to the battery running flat.  Yesterday the roof was down, but the passenger window would not go down, so the roof stayed down.  Later the same day it was a non starter due to a  flat battery.  This was replaced by the man from the AA, then big surprise the drivers window would not go up !

Frustrating as these electrical problems are, its not the sort of thing you expect on a car of this calibre.  Maybe a Fiat or Renault but Aston ?  A quick sweep of the web and I pulled up a plethora of problems from other disgruntled Aston owners.  This car is now on its way to be part exchanged for something that starts stops and goes without all the dramas.  Maybe a lovely BMW 6 Series convertible.

And remember if you have a convertible and the sun is out get the roof down.  These days is pretty straightforward a button, or a couple of clips and its done.  Except a Suzuki Vitara, taking the roof of that was similar to pitching a tent in a gale. Enjoy the sun !
