Heck, it's a two-door Phaeton with an upgraded interior. Drive it man, it's a tank!

Why wouldn't it be a good daily driver? It's very comfortable.

Good luck both cars are Hot. If power is'nt an issue id take the DB9. My vote goes to the GT, its very comfy,its powerful/tunable, and you get the all wheel drive.

Hello Ryan...

I have an 05' Silver on Black myself. I love the car as an everyday driver. Smooth, powerful and a real head turner. The only complaint I have is with the navigation unit. It does not provide sufficient detail. I'd try it out before you buy.

I've heard the 2007 has a DVD navigation system. I wonder if you can retrofit it to your 2005? I have a spare 2005 navigation/radio unit which I bought off eBay in order to investigate this, but I haven't a clue where to start or what internal parts from an '07 are available if a retrofit is possible.

I already contacted the dealer as to what it would take to upgrade to the 07' units. He said, and I quote, "Not much just $15k"

I had my navi/radio replaced under warranty last month for about $3,000 but it's a Phaeton, The eBay 2005 Bentley navi/radio unit cost me about $200.00 including shipping. I don't think it works properly but have no way to test it, yet.

A retro of DVD would require a DVD player for the glove box, maybe two of them, one for navi and one music?
