Flying Spur, but not in this spec. Either the Azure or Mulliner, with lots of chrome, wood, and beige leather interior.

You even have to pay extra for a HomeLink garage door opener! Their own VW/Audi/Porsche/Bentley auto group gives you a HomeLink transmitter as standard equipment in the least expensive VW’s that literally cost 1/10th what this thing costs!

You would think a company like Bentley would be able to adapt the system to charge the battery on the go like the prius.

@MrFlazz99 Жыл бұрын

Whenever I think of the Bentley Spur, I think of the VW Phaeton - and that's not to be rude about Bentley but rather complimentary towards VW (and I never thought I'd complement VW). For a fabulous car at a fraction of the price, a long-wheelbase Phaeton would have been my pick back in the mid-'00s. Of course Bentleys always came with added knurled metal touches - worth every penny of the extra fifty grand. Pleased to hear What Car advocating AGAINST a hybrid, for once - but watch out, the gods may be displeased....

@rjkka7260 Жыл бұрын

I would say very rude to compare it with the Phaeton. I'd say get an eye test today.

At this price and in the current market climate the new 7 series cannot be ignored, better engineered and miles ahead in tech; maybe not the best looking car but the Bentley’s looks have aged.

These German Bentleys just don't have the grace and majesty of the old British ones. The Google eyed face looks like a parody of those classic designs. It has presence (because of it's size) but lacks subtlety and beauty.

I don’t see Bentley lasting long term. There is nothing about this car that much cheaper ones can’t do. The price is ridiculous, the options are absolutely taking the piss! WTF! Greedy and pointless, look at residuals on all Bentleys. You need to be a pretty stupid rich person to buy it. Don’t get me wrong, it looks cool, goes well and has lovely interiors, but it’s 5 times the price it should be. Bentley will die within 10 years

I take no joy whatsoever in saying this . . . . . that was the most dull car review I have watched in a very long time. I had actually tuned out for some time and then just stopped the video. If you can make a Bentley Flying Spur boring, you really should not be doing this.
