Bentley Continental Car Review
|
Bentley Continental
The Bentley Continental is fast yet poised and graceful, and it doesn’t hurt that the car sports a prestigious badge either. The Continental is the fastest four-door production car in the world, and is expected to out sell all of the marques saloons.
Bentley has strategically positioned the car in a gap in the market between common luxury saloons and the extremely expensive Maybach and Rolls Royce.
Essentially Bentley, have managed to not have any real competitors in its sector.
The Bentley Continental is not cheap by any means, but the purchase price is offset somewhat by the high level of standard specification that is offered. The car offers buyers a whole lot more in the way of power and style as well.
The Bentley Continental impressive 6-litre twin turbocharged W12 engine provides 552bhp with four wheel drive and a paddle operated gearbox. The car is mechanically sound and impressive in all aspects.
The car’s interior is equally impressive and fully lives up to Bentley quality. All of the instrumentation is quality made with a premium feel. The Continental is sure to impress even the toughest critic.

Bentley Continental
The Bentley Continental is an expensive car to purchase and to run. The car’s insurance will be high and fuel economy will be less than decent. The Continental will be an expensive purchase, but does come with a high level of standard specification.
The Bentley Continental provides excellent cabin space. Front and rear passengers should enjoy good levels of head and legroom. Most passengers should be extremely comfortable in the car’s cabin.
The car’s main controls and dials are functional and easy to use. They provide a premium feel, and add to the cabin’s over-all classy look. The controls and dials are all logically located.
The Continental’s cabin has been designed with comfort in mind. The car’s cabin is very luxurious and will instantly impress most passengers. The car’s seats are comfortable even on the longest of rides.
The car provides easy accessibility. The doors are large and provide wide apertures making access and egress simple. Access to the car’s boot is equally simple and straightforward.
Parking the Bentley Continental is easy enough. The car’s steering is light at low speeds, and the car is easy to navigate even in the most crowded spaces. The car provides decent all-round visibility and parking shouldn’t be too problematic.

Bentley Continental
The Bentley Continental provides an excellent driving experience. The car has loads of power on hand, and offers a good deal of versatility as well. The car handles well and provides good grip and an excellent braking system. The car also delivers a comfortable and rewarding ride.
The Bentley Continental would make an excellent family car as far as space and practicality are concerned.
The cabin provides enough space for all passengers to fit comfortably. The other side of the coin is whether the interior should be subjected to the kind of abuse that kids can dish out.
The Bentley Continental is not a good first car. The initial purchase price is high, running costs and upkeep are high as well, and insurance is really high. There are more suitable first cars available.
Bentley has a great image and reputation for producing high quality, stylish motors. The car is a prime example of the company’s values and capabilities. The Bentley badge is sure to sell a fair number of Continentals.
 Security and Safety
|
|
|
|
The Bentley Continental comes with all the usual security devices, but a good secure garage will be necessary for buyers to get a good night’s rest.
The car’s standard safety features include twin front, side and curtain airbags. ABS and stability control are also included.

 The Finishing Touches
|
|
|
The Bentley Continental standard audio system is of excellent quality and produces great sound quality. Upgrades are available as cost options.
The car’s exterior design looks best in toned down regal colours. Black is always an excellent choice and enhances the classy look and feel of the car.
