My dad has a DB9 Volante and i've been using it the last 5 months since i've been back.
It shocked me in the aspect that it is certainly no sports car. It's a cruiser through and through. The steering is far too light with little feedback, the car too heavy, the chassis too flexible and the suspension far too soft.
I can't imagine that the DBS Volante is that different to the DB9 and i would say you would be hugely disappointed with one after a few months. The car has been reliable aside from the AC needing a charge but that's due to total lack of use - it was at about 1600 miles in 2 years when i first got back. Now has close to 4k.

I have been in both and it is the Scudi for me...
The AM is more cozy, has much more creature comforts relatively speaking the and sound is great too BUT driving pleasure does not come close IMO

Gray look at it this way, the scud is a crazy track car that i wud say isnt a daily driver and the AM is a fast car and cud be driven on a daily basis. But in my perspective you already have both, you got the scud for the track days (which is the best car for the track) or whenever you wanna go mad and you got the TT which is a very fast, reliable, and beautiful car that can be driven everyday and used on the track as well. So you're fine just keep the scud. Unless you still wanna buy the AM and give me the scud

^ Gray is not looking at the DBS, it is swordsman.
I love the DBS and it has its merits, but if you are "bored" of Scud and it's not "too hardcore" for you, then I don't think the DBS will keep you happy for very long.
