Plan d’maintenance Aston Martin DB9 Volante (facelift 2012)

The facelifted DB9 Volante benefits from the same progress as the 2012 coupe, but those changes matter even more on the convertible. The chassis feels better tied down, the `AM11 V12` has more substance and the whole car becomes more consistent without losing the delicacy of the shape. At that point, the DB9 Volante stands as a genuine prestige alternative to a Porsche 911 Cabriolet for drivers who care first about fast touring and visual presence.

This phase manages to combine classic elegance, a generous naturally aspirated engine and more resolved road manners than before. It is still an Aston that demands proper basics: a maintained battery, a roof used regularly, alignment that stays in check and consumables renewed by time as well as mileage. It is often the best entry point into a large open V12 Aston if you want to avoid the earliest years.
