I'm a newbie who is planning ahead. I love my DB9, but my ageing frame and the crumbling, potholed roads mean a more pliant ride will be needed in the not too distant future. Having owned 2 XF's between 2008 and 2010 I will opt for a manual gearbox as the auto selector on both XF's gave trouble. (One failed in the retracted position and the other rattled badly until the engine/gearbox had fully warmed up). I also prefer the S14 petrol engine as I don't cover many miles and don't want the worry of DPF regeneration problems.Ideally the spec would be a Manual S14 Prestige 5 door, which is not available at this time.
Anybody know if it will be available in the future?

Is your avatar a db9? not an aston expert but looks like an amv8 to my uneducated eyes.

It's a DB9. The photo is slightly distorted.

Hi Martinaston and thanks for the "heads up" regarding DPF regeneration problems.

I was in two minds on whether to go for diesel or petrol however now I'm retired and a low mileage driver it's the petrol for me.

Cheers.

Hello and welcome and the site

If you're not doing many miles then petrol is the route to go I think.
