Bentley Continental Flying Spur (2005 - 2012) 6.0 W12 4d Auto (2005/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

You do get a lot of comments early doors, but people appreciate the quality.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

A lot of comments from friends and strangers alike. Impressed by the luxury. Suspicious of the mpg.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes but perhaps a Continental GT next time when the kids have moved on.

What are you likely to buy next?

Considering a family car like the BMW X5.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£40,000

When did you buy the car?

November 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I was happy with the deal. Great quality car for the price of a much cheaper model.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Helpful.

What's it like to drive?

Unbelievably powerful and QUICK out of the blocks.

What's it like to park?

This is a long car but no problem to park. Wouldn't take it to a multi-storey with much optimism.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing wring but servicing is unbelievably expensive through Bentley dealers, but to maintain the value of the car you have little choice but to stay with the main dealers.

What's most practical about your car?

There is an incredible amount of room in the back and the heated seats are fantastic for the kids in winter.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Considering my car was 7 years old when I bought it, there is an unbelievable amount of gadgetry in there. I would probably have to say heated seats and air conditioning controls in the rear.
