Just a few questions on the DB9

Whats the room in the back like, can you get adults in or will they have to call a taxi laugh ?
Whats better a manual or the paddles?
Whats it like as a daily driver, can it bee used?
Whats the boot space like, will the shopping be coming inside?

The rear seats are fairly useless. You can transport two kids by taking the front seat all the way forward but the space behind the driver is largely for kids without legs!

The touchtronic with the paddle override is excellent - probably one of the best auto boxes on the market and miles ahead of the Porsche TipTronic system. However for a more sporty drive the manual is the real thing and very fast. However, I see the DB9 as a very accomplished GT cruiser so I would think that the touchtronic is the best compromise.

I use mine everyday in and out of London. It is fabulous. If used in traffic the touchtronic is the better choice.

Boot space is adequate and fits luggage for two for a week easily.
