My son's studying at the Faculty of Arts - what a wonderful city you have and thank you for the welcome you've given him.....
I have owned a couple of Bentley's and you really do have to choose carefully. My advice if you are seriously looking for one of these is:
FSH is a must (and DO check it out, in detail)
Mileage: Better to go for one that has been used rather than sat in a garage gathering dust
Understand almost any problem will carry a minimum £500 cost
There's a reason why they are one of the least reliable cars in the JD index
Lastly, still not put off? Barter. So many out there now it's a buyers market
Get the right one and you will be well rewarded with a smooth as turbine, fast as funk, beautiful car.....get the wrong one and OUCH......
Good advice
You're quite right, I have the big brother to the Continental GT but the same rules apply. I took mine straight to a specialist, given a complete top to tail and fixed anything that needed doing. Apart from that, it's been servicing and general wear and tear and it's been sweet as a nut. I would one other peice of advice. Buy a Ctek trickle charger. Even if it's sat for a coupe of weeks, it will drian the battery.
@@johncollier608 Aren't VW parts compatible? I would like to buy it or DB9 in next year as my third car that I will do miles on and keep forever. Thanx
@@damirbajic4579 Quite possibly. I've replaced a couple of sensors brake pads, front calipers and a gear box service. Apart from the calipers, most parts are fairly generic. Good luck with your search and happy driving, Sir.
@@johncollier608 We don't havr Bentley dealer in Croatia (it is done by VW), so it means a lot. Thank you Sir and have a great year.
Those alloy wheels would look amazing on that Skoda Superb Estate.
And they'd also fit lol. Good old VAG group also, PAULIE GO GET THE BOLT CUTTERS OUT OF THE CAR
@@MrSluby
Yeah seen the Eastern European guys have them on the Octavia looks really good.
Lovely car but my best car was a Mercedes Benz S class 3.0 diesel 6 cylinder with 29,000 miles 2006 models finished in magic blue(6 in the country)
Faultless car real luxury . I bought it from a business acquaintance of my brother in law, with full service history and the price you ask?
£10,000. Bargain. Kept it four years and sold it to a golfing Buddy still going strong still looks immaculate .
"The backlight broke, making the clock as dim as a footballer" - hilarious! 👍 Way beyond my price range, however. My target car is a Lexus SC 430. Not in the same league, but good bang for your bucks.
I love the SC. I’ll have to try and get one on the channel
I'd like to see an sc on the channel
You seen the video of those kids smashing up a Lexus SC430 the owner was, a right wrongen, so to speak.
bro i had one a few years ago and man i miss that car!
Nice! SC430s are really unique.
Ever since the first Bentley video I saw on your channel I’ve always waited for the second one to pop up. And now that it has it’s made my day. Thank you, mate!
Thanks’
One thing I'd like to see in future videos is when you mention something, you can put a little picture of it. In this video for example, you mention that the older gen steering wheel looked like it came off a Touareg, I'd love to have a visual to see it, to help the faint memory. You have begun doing it for some things though so that's a major plus. Keep at it mate
Had a number of Bentley motor cars through my hands over the years and worked on them, including the VW based cars and I have to say the quality isn't a patch on the earlier cars. The Arnage is also a troublesome car in particular with the electrics.
Another great video Matt.
Love the production.
Hope for more like this in 2022
The world of second hand cars is a mind field
I always enjoy your reviews. They're informative & mostly extremely amusing. Going off subject for a moment, if you ever decide to go on a cruise, I'd love to hear your commentary & thoughts. I'm already cracking up just thinking about it! Happy 2022.
Every time I got a glimpse of the infotainment it just reminded me of a passat, yes I know they part share as it makes sense and it's only a small minor detail, if they changed the font slightly for the buttons it would make a difference. Other than that small and rather irrelevant detail, everything about that car is sublime. Great video!
I have an 09 XF Jag naturally the infotainment system is ancient and ugly but you can turn the screen off and it just has a nice black screen with a Jag logo, looks clean. Sure you could just have the screen off in this
I can’t think of any car I’d rather have if I could afford it. Truly beautiful.
Hey mat ,only just watched video, excellent review for a superb car . Way back in around 2002/3 an old school friend ( very successful) had the first generation Bentley, I drove it numerous times, always a thrill .cheers mat, keep them coming.
Prosperous and joyful New Year Matt and awesome beginning with a W12.
What a great way to start 2022. Thank you! And happy new year!
A proper impression including MPG and costs .Well done .
Happy New Year. Another fantastic video and review, again another absolute stunner of a GT. Seeing this has put my head away as I’m still deliberating over having one as my next daily, however I couldn’t afford one at this year. Hope you have a great 2022 and can’t wait to see what fantastic content you have in store for us. Keep up the excellent work 😉👌🏻👍🏻
Happy New year Matt, you've certainly been knocking the videos out over this holiday season, always look forward to them ..have good prosperous 2022..bests wishes
Thanks! Happy new year
Great review and I love the car. Personally, I'd have a fear over hidden costs that go with it. I agree about GT cars being the best. Why have a dream car you can't comfortably drive any decent distance
To this day I can’t understand why Matt hasn’t made it onto Top Gear or put together a new version of Fifth Gear with Henry Catchpoole and Rory Reid in tow would be bloody amazing
Thank you! Maybe that will happen one day
@@HighPeakAutos Matt plz get them on your channel- the cinematography of carfection is outstanding, Rory’s presentation and comedy is only equalled by yours the three of you talking cars doing road trips would be a bigger hit for viewing figures than Baywatch in its prime
Happy new year Matt. Great video, love the reasons for NOT getting a man bag and the footballer comment was priceless. 😂
One day maybe but right at this moment it'll have to be my 1:24 scale conti GT that sits on a shelf above my desk. 👍
Happy New Year Matt, thanks for the entertaining videos and special thanks for the footballer comment, brilliant. Wishing you an even more successful 2022.
Loved the video Matt thank you, A Happy and prosperous New year to you, the channel and all subscribers 😃
Another outstanding video - Thanks Matt and wishing you, and your family the very best for 2022....
Thank you! Same to you and yours :)
I really need to buy one of these, I’ve been talking about it for years ! Love the videos, very inspirational.
Great video as always Matt. Unreal amount of car for the money and the mpg is not as bad as I thought it would be! 👍🏽😁
Totally agree - they're great value for money
@@HighPeakAutos $30k of repairs at 50k miles. WTF?
great video mate - Keep up the good work.
You’re car reviews are awesome: I’ve seen millions and you’re the one I’d take advice from
Thanks! I appreciate that
Fantastic in-depth review of one of my top 5 car’s to own before I kick the bucket 👍🏻
Happy New Year Matt, Many Thanks For All Your Videos!! Peace From London. 🙏🙏
As long as you do regular service this car is a dream, my family had a 2012 model and still running no issues at all!
Happy new year bro!
Happy New Year great video as always
Love this Bentley. Excellent video, like always.
As ever great video! I have been wanting one of these for a while…. I am going to get one after watching this!
This would be my dream car. If only for twelve months. Wouldn't have thought reliability should be an issue with a car like this. I think the wife would notice if I traded the Motor Home in for one though.
Just subscribed - A very happy new year to you - Excellent real world review, straight direct talking - my kind of channel.
Thanks for subscribing! All the best
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Matt, if you can get hold of a BMW 630D GT, i'd love to see your review of it and compare it to the other luxary GT's in the series that you have done. Great review again.
What a pleasure, a car enthusiast who respects his privileged position, dreams about cars as all us petrol heads do and gets to drive and admire his dream. I shall be subscribing, I don't like to be preached at in an Alan Whiticker affected voice and I enjoy being talked to as a human being who will probably only ever be able to read about owning a car like this, thankyou
Thanks
Happy New Year mate. Hope you have a wonderful year. I'll never Not love the Bentley Conti - it's such a Handsome car, like a E39 5-series. I wish I could get one.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 star “You can’t hide money” content👍
I have been waiting patiently for this vid after seeing it on your insta, personally one of my favorite cars
Mine too! Thanks for watching!
An amazing review. Happy New year
Happy new year!
The answer, without an iota of doubt, is a resounding yes. Happy new year Matt! Have fun and a happy motoring!
Thanks! All the best
Nice video. The weather makes me laugh, I used to live in Higher Disley and remember it well!
Well done Matt
Lovely bit of kit! Happy New Year Matt.
Thanks. Same to you
Another great video down to earth and honest! Yes, i want one, sit nicely along side my P38!! Thank you HPA, your a class act Sir & HNY :)
Good choice with the P38! love those. Happy new year
Another great review with the added bonus of the best commentary about Man Bags in the world
😉
The one thing I took from enjoying a Bentley Continental W12 for a weekend was the feeling that you never run out of power and that any gear could be endless if you just keep your foot down. Amazing piece of British engineering.
Thats right. The way it does speed is like nothing else
@@HighPeakAutos A friend of mine has an Aston Martin Vanquish V12. That’s the only other car that I’ve been in that gives the same feeling of unlimited power. Enjoy the Bentley, it’s different class 👍
@@davidbrooks187 the Aston V12 sounds better. It’s awesome
@@HighPeakAutos It is the best car I’ve ever been in, it really is the ultimate driving machine, words don’t do the Vanquish justice. The Lynn sound system in it is worth more than my Audi A4 lol
@@ronmccullock1407 they’re built in Crewe, Cheshire. Which is also known as ‘nowhere near Germany’.
Great description of how it rolls multiple types of uses the car has
Everyday usable, fun ,great top speed and room for 4 adults
Another great review my friend
Awesome
😀
Man bag part. Brilliant. Happy New year to you. Great work!
Thanks! Happy new year
Please keep going it's educational comical and I've never wasted so much of my life on auto trader after every upload!!
Brilliant review. Very informative. I love the Continental. Hopefully I’ll be able to afford the 2011> on day.
Idk about new year but your accent and that car were close to perfection on this review
Great video as always Matt 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks!
The white/black interior in that is stunning 😍
Tremendous VFM and Bentley do interior's better than anyone!
Happy New Year Matt.
Cheers.
A definite bucket list car.
Great review. Happy New Year
Happy new year!
Thanks for adding the km/L figures
Computer (missus) says no!
Happy New Year Matt & everyone on here! 🥳
Happy New Year!
Another great review 😎
Thanks!
Happy New Year Matt, hope all goes well with you for 2022.
Thanks! Same to you
Lovely car, Matt - especially the interior. VW did a good job on this one.
Congrats on the training course
Thanks!
Happy new year Matt!
Happy new year!
Happy new year!
Happy new year!
I agree that the styling on this second generation Continental is much improved, but overall I like the fact that throughout its life Bentley have chosen to improve the Continental generically.
Although I've seen some enticing prices for older cars, my understanding is that Bentley have chosen to make their replacement parts subtly different from the standard VW issue, thus ensuring that you always have to pay through the nose via a Bentley dealer and hence the lower purchase price.
Happy New year Matt, another great video ! I hope you topped up your mates tank going from Mellor to Buxton in the gt can't be cheap.
Yes I did 😉
Great vid, love how many views you’re bringing in with the content. When you say premium fuel is that the “v power” more expensive stuff?
Awesome car. Brilliant presentation. Love it!!
Thank you! 👍
Happy New Year Matt - some great viewing in 2021. I am still trying to get my head around the fact that my Mk4 Honda Jazz has a heated steering wheel and that Bentley doesn't. Fab car though.
Back to reviewing the cheap stuff 😂😂😂 Love it ! I couldnt even afford the spark plugs 😭
£300 Saab last week. I like to keep it varied
@@HighPeakAutos Haha, you'd get 60% of one of the winter tyres for £300.
Great videos btw, really like the channel, great advice, and love the humour. 👍
I have a Bentley lookalike. S type jag 55plate 1500quid goes great looks fabulous
I am, by belief an anti-luxury, basic, reasonable car guy...but each time I see you reviewing one of these, my breath relaxes, an involuntary smile builds up and I think I hear classical music, coming from somewhere...
Hi there, great video a lot of people put the GT down but me personally I think is fantastic. Cheers Phil.
Immediately started looking on Autotrader, thinking how cool I would look parking outside Greggs and wandering in for me vegan sausage bake, then I looked at fuel consumption at 3.16 at nearly 13 mpg, realised I’d have no money to afford a chuppa chup lolly and am now back in land of reality and not a Bucks Fizz song😀
Lazing by the pool in Lanzarote enjoying your videos Matt, keep em coming 👏
Im not jealous at all!!
Happy New Year!
Nice car and whilst I'll
Never have one it will always remain a nice car!
It would be a nice car to show off I suppose ! as usual matt your content is bang on !
Thanks!
When you pushed the throttle and accelerated, it took me back to my days in the used-car trade. I drove a plethora of Continentals. There's nothing quite like it!
Happy new year matey :)
Happy new year!
The quality of the interior really is on another level..
This is for sure my next vehicle. Even the spec of this one is beauty. Gen 2 GT is my fav 🙏
Wishing you happy new year. And thanks for the Craic. ‘As dim as a footballer’ will go down in history
Thanks! Happy new year!
@@HighPeakAutos Thought the GT was derigeur for Manu football players
Beyond my finances, but a great video. Happy New Year Matt.
Thanks! Happy new year
What a stunning car. Happy New Year
Happy new year!
Amazing would so have one of these 😎😎 and Happy New Year
Happy new year!
A very Big thumbs up, thanks for sharing, it looks gorgeous, something to aim for! 😀😍😎
The King of cars 👑
Loved the last Bentley... Really love this one
Happy New Year Matt - great video as always. Cheap for a Breitling as my watch was 10x the price :-)
Another quality video on a car I'll never drive unless I've stolen it or I'm a chauffeur.
I was lucky enough to drive a 1953 Bentley Continental .
It was a great experience and its good to see they have preserved the shape ,its recogniseably a Bentley Continental .
I expect that the steering is a little less Mr Toad in The Wind in the Willows .
Steering wheel the size of a bus one .Memory lane .
For around 20k more you can get a 2014/2015 spec. If you get a chance to drive one of that age - would be interesting to see how it compares with the 2011 spec and state whether the 20k hike is worth it or not.
HNY Matt: Buying one of these is very tempting, especially now it comes with decent cupholders! (I share your obsession, by the way - I have a 2005 Jaguar XR8 on which the cupholders are an embarrassment)
I liked the mk1 GT you had previously and ALMOST got in touch. I know an "almost" doesn't pay your bills, but as they say, "we judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their actions".
Manbag = Nasty CSA letters or Drugs! 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 Thanks for the New Year laugh, and have a great 2022 👍
Thanks for watching! I thought that was fairly accurate 😂
A really classy car matt..something most of us would love sat on the driveway...love the comment as dim as a footballer.!
