Positive Review
I have been fortunate to have owned many cars, and many high end offerings from Germany, the UK and Italy at that. When I bought my Bentley GT Continental, I considered (and drove) an Aston Martin DB9 and Mercedes CL63 AMG. I had owned both an Aston and AMG car before so expected to favor one of those over a car which was being described as a tuned up VW. Fortunately I drove all 3 the same day. The decision was an easy one at that point, the Bentley was the clear winner in performance, driving dynamics, and overall impression. The Aston was gorgeous and Benz solid, but the Bentley got my nod, from the moment I sat in it, and it sealed the deal within 5 minutes of driving it. Now years later, the Bentley remains as one of the most amazing cars I have ever driven. My current stable includes an Aston, Ferrari, R8, and a few others. If I could only keep one car, it would be the Bentley. In a straight line, particularly from 50-150, it's 12 cylinder 552 horses can keep pace with just about any supercar. Yet it can seat 4 adults and haul a lot of luggage and it would do so in a classy style only Rolls Royce can match. There is something special about Bentley design and fit and finish. It oozes classy luxury. Driving it is an occasion, the smells and feel evoke a feeling of being spoiled and pampered. Some expensive cars don't feel expensive, this one does. Usually this GT takes you from A to B in style, comfort, and quiet. But when your sporty gene flares up, just pop it into sport mode, tighten the suspension settings, watch the spoiler go up and you are in a rocket ship. Its AWD also makes it even better in the wet compared to its competition. Lookswise, only Aston' DB9 is prettier among GT coupes. To boot, Bentley has outstanding customer service, unlike any other maker I have ever seen (save perhaps Aston's). Overall, this is a car that has no competition in its class in my view and when it comes time for me to replace it, it will be with the exact same model.

Critical Review
I service and maintain a wide variety of high end European vehicles (BMW, Mercedes, Ferarri, Lamborghini, Maserati, etc...). With that comes the extreme displeasure of dealing with these monstrosities. They frequent our shop at least 5x more than ANY other vehicle. They're always broken, and always a nightmare to deal with. With most luxury cars higher price tags mean higher quality. That is not the case with this car. It's a VW dumpster fire, and oh boy it shows. I have yet to see one without a broken key or some interior part. It's underwhelming to drive, and doesn't even have cup holders... This is a car for people who are more concerned with their image, than what the vehicle actually does for them. If you want a nice car, just buy a 7 series or S class.

This Bentley you want to justify buying will not get you laid but everywhere you go people will be watching you, you cant pick your nose anymore you cant cry listening to music anymore tgat life is over. Get used to people coming to say hi to you just to see what kind of person you are. God must be smiling down on you if youre about to be blessed with such a majestic toy. Life is for living enjoy traveling wherever you go you deserve to be happy. Get off your butt buy this Bentley and change your life oh and try to lose a few pounds too. That's also very important.
