Quick DB9 question

I can't stand another day driving my Lexus GS350...it's so boring I feel like I'm going to shoot myself.

I was convinced that I was going to pick up a Bentley CGT...but then thought about a DB9...can you fit real sized people in the back seat or is it like the Porsche and all for show and no real utility?

I plan to go look at one but thought maybe someone could enlighten me first.

Thanks!!

When I was looking at cars last summer before I settled on the Vantage I seem to remember the DB9 back seat being slightly larger than a Porsche 996 or 997. It was not much larger though but my 10 yr old kids fit back there fine.

BTW, the largest back seat in the "toys" I considered was the Maserati Gran Turismo. An adult can easily fit back there comfortably. It is a large back seat.

Both CGT and DB9 don't have much space in the back seat.

The DB9 back seat is WORSE than a 996/997. Unless you are extremely short and keep the driver's seat all the way forward, there is no space between the seat-back and the rear seats.

Yup...gotta figure the DB9 as a 2 seater.
