John Davis is like the Bob Barker of car reviews. Few people can remember a time before he was the face of MotorWeek, he has a way about him that no one will ever be able to replicate/replace, and, (personally) I hate to see him getting older, as it is a reminder that one day he will hang up his jacket(s) for good. I am not looking forward to that day. If only we could clone him...
+mekmen1 You make a good point. The difference is that the Bentley is for those who want something more exclusive, and that justifies the higher price.
+Bo Vorachack what do you for a living? Also im looking for a flying spure to how much dollar did you pay for yours? dies it have good tech like autobrake? cameras?
My dad has a 2005. It's a monster. My dad reached 160 in it I smelled the tires and he slowed down. When we got to a stop and we're at our destination all I heard were the fans. This car doesn't handle all that well but it's fucking fast! It will eat corvettes unless it's the zr1. It doesn't sound all that amazing but who care if it's fucking fast as fuck!?!!
The Bentley is worth every penny, though it's not worth buying unless if you live in a rich area. I would opt for an Jaguar XJR instead, which is a good value with it's supercharged 550 HP V8.
lol do you go to every video to leave these pathetic, angry, stupid comments? Everywhere I look it's you being a little baby. And you are always wrong, it's incredible. I've never seen you be right about anything, I only ever see you crying.
Doesn't seem like a good value compared to the S8, S63, Alpina B7, XJR, etc. The value disparity is especially glaring in Canada where V8 Flying Spurs exceed $290,000. If I'm in the 250k+ buyers club I'm going all out an opting for the W12.
Someone that I was having a conversation with regarding this car called Bentley an unreliable piece of shit. Does anyone who has owned one or currently owns one want to confirm this statement as being true ?
BeverageGuzzler. Bentley's are great value 2nd hand....arm and a leg to repair, but usually have a full service history and low miles....and depreciate 50% in 5 years....so a 5 year old Bentley is the cost of a top end merc or audi, with twice the luxury. I've seen vids of people who do their own maintenance and its not that bad, unless you have electrical or carbon brake problems, then it gets real expensive, real quick....like $14 k for new rotors
