Bentley Continental GT Ownership Review

Key Points from the Discussion

• The Bentley Continental GT's driving capabilities are impressive, but its high fuel consumption makes it a less practical choice compared to rival GT cars, which typically offer better range.
• The car's infotainment and navigation systems are noted as outdated, with a 5-CD changer instead of modern USB connectivity, and imprecise, slow navigation.
• Despite its shortcomings, the Bentley Continental GT is praised as a great car for long-distance driving, capable of speeds exceeding 300 km/h.
• A prospective buyer inquired about potential electrical problems and whether the V8 model is a more reliable option, seeking insights from the owner's experience.
• Another owner reported zero issues with their first Bentley GT over 42,000 miles, but experienced infotainment and transmission problems with a later 2012 GT Mulliner, finding a 2014 GT Speed to be perfect.
• The car is described as classy, sporty, speedy, and comfortable, with the author's photos also receiving commendation.
