Bentley Continental GT Coupe (2003 - 2011) 6.0 W12 Speed 2d Auto (2008/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I like quality products, which exceed all expectations - continually.

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

Impressed - it is not a sort of vehicle that is flash or in your face, but there is something about this marque that seems to generate some form of genuine respect.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definately - what other super car has this build quality, heritage, 4 seats, boot that will take 2 suitcases, 600hp, 4WD and is genuinely respected by most people that see it - I really can't praise this vehicle enough, along with the dealer support that is provided with it.

What are you likely to buy next?

Totally happy with this GT Speed and if I ever change, might consider replacing with the later version, which is about to be supplied to the showrooms now.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£75,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Good partex value on my Range Rover and well equiped GT, with all optional extras, plus perfect colour scheme - Black/Saffron.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Highly desirable car.

What was the dealer like?

Bentley Birmingham - honest and open to deal with and get information on the car - a really impressive brand to deal with. I had also been looking at a number of other Bentley dealers, who were also similarly helful and open with information and facts on the vehicles they had in stock.

What's it like to drive?

You always feel special driving the car - this is an experiance all the time, not just a means of getting from A to B.

What's it like to park?

Visibility is good all around and the reversing camera is a major asset, along with the front and rear beepers - auto parking would be nice, but it is not on mine.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Some paint lifting on the sides of the spokes on the wheels, but this has been rectified.

What's most practical about your car?

Absolute pleasure to drive and be in, with unlimited power (600bhp), which is put down on the road with 4WD.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Hard to pick one - Reverse camera is very useful, I also like the power boot closing.
