Spectacular paint-job, color, interior and camera work. I wish today's cars that uses the audio system to pump fake engine sound to the interior could be 'on demand' other than forced. I would have mine switched off. Even more so in a Bentley. @brian makse, how cool is cool in your location? How effective was the neck heater?
This will be my next car to cruise Monaco and Nice (and race a bit the mountainsides) 👌🏻🤤 This is truly the best car of ALL worlds! Luxury, sportiv, cabrio... what competition is out there at this level for this price? 🤷🏻♂️💪🏻
Bonjour Brian and hello from France. Could you share your opinion between the generation 2 V8 and the generation 3 V8 Your video of the 2014 V8s was fabulous. Does the gen 2 really has aged in comparison ? Merci
Bonjour! My English is better than my French on this subject. What I find interesting about the modern Continentals is that they all have aged exceptionally well compared to their contemporaries. They're well made, well finished, have an abundance of power, and drive like a grand tourer should. The only area the older cars lack is with modern infotainment.
@@BrianMakse thank you for your reply. I do agree with you the infotainment is showing its age. That gen 2 is such an awesome car. Can't afford the 3rd gen so I'll stick to my 2014. Take care Brian and thanks for your great work.
As a Brit I would also pronounce the letters t and i in Continental and the word coupe should be said coopay. This is because it is the French word for cut and in France the e has an accent over it which denotes that it is to be sounded. Good video and yes if I win the lotto next week this is my first purchase.
@@dennispolyblank8428 I can't tell one Android phone from another, so I'm the last person to ask. I don't look for it, but I don't remember Android Auto in my last Bentayga. All I know is that Continental shares some architecture with Panamera. And that iPhones are better!
@@BrianMakse yeah! I'm doing as many wood burnings of photographs of tornadoes! I've currently done over 220 wood burnings of almost every photograph taken of a tornado from 1884 to 1993 and still going strong!
@@BrianMakse Yes I did. I've been at the track when both V8 and V12 Aston's were present. The consensus was that the V8's sounded better. But on one day a fellow had his 599 GTO on the track. I have to admit that V12 exhaust note was intoxicating. Bordering on an act of violence.
In day to day use, no one would notice a difference in dynamics between the two. If they do, it’s pure hyperbole. And automotive journalists are good at that!
Probably a good thing-the reason the newer Bentleys are pretty reliable (for a British car) is because their major components are sourced from volume manufacturers (Porsche, VW) and the components have been put through their paces and are more widely available.
Brian Makse 2013 and a 2016 didn't make my self clear English is not my first language,too expensive to repair and even service ridiculous for a $500 oil change,no! My wife has a 2011 Lexus looks new never had a single issue new tires and a battery and from a distance can't tell the difference in looks and my men change the oil $30!! In the 2015 the batteries died and you can't unlock the truck without taking the back seat out and taking a rod to snake inside and unlatch the trunk,sweet!!? No?
Brian Makse well then they must have improved them 90% because I have heard this about them from friends from 2004 models to date of course not the 2020 haven't had enough drive time yet. Are you going to also maintenance fees are now reasonable and repairs? Someone else suggested if I can't afford maintenance and repairs then maybe I should buy Ford Fusion? Afford has nothing to do with it I just don't feel comfortable when I feel I am being ripped off by supposedly the number one car manufacturing in the world.
Lightning Farron so by your standards then spending $500 for an oil change is fine as long as you make $200,000 a year? Thats the way peasants think how about you go online buy the filters for $100 oil for a $100 and have your men in my case Mexicans change it for $200? My income in Mexico is far more than $200,000 and thinking like that is the reason it is. Do all working people think that people with wealth just waste it right and left I can tell you from experience they don't and they want value for every penny they make,in English I think you call it " cheap bastards". Also how can anyone with a $200,000 a year income afford a Bentley , " payments" that's ultimate poors thinking? When my business was making $200,000 a year I was driving a 15 year old Chevy truck paid for in cash same with my Bentleys! M men perform almost all the regular maintenance they can my head man is an engineer and his opinion of Bentleys is " basura" I know one thing I'll never buy another one the first one I bought in Texas only had 6,000 miles on it?? By the way I don't have a Lexus my wife does and I don't like it because I am tall and basically sitting on the ground as for mechanism,repairs,break downs it will beat the Bentley hands down. I always wanted a Bentley since I was ten years old,my German grandfather use to tell me if the English where any good at building cars they wouldn't be hand building they would be on an assembly line? I argued with him for 20 years about the fine hand work and tooling he just laughed and he was an engineer also!! By the way ,you do you know your Mercedes was built on an assembly line also right, also did you ever read consumer reports on Mercedes, a lot of negative there?
This might be the best looking car I've ever seen.
It’s quite a looker.
Probably one of the best car reviews I've seen.
Brilliant!!
Keep up the good work.
Thanks, but don’t tell us. Tell your friends. Share it on Reddit. Post it on your social.
@@BrianMakse Consider it done.
Cheers
T
Cheers, thank you!
This car is absolutely gorgeous in every way. Great review.
Thanks, Luke.
Great video Brian; as always. Greetings to you from UK 🇬🇧
Thanks, Tim! How does my accent come off whilst driving a British car?
Such a beautiful car!! Looks like a gods chariot made out of a giant ruby with seats made out pearls from the depths of the ocean
That's one way to put it. It is gorgeous.
My dream car.
Bro, you totally need more subscribers. Awesome video.
We hear that every week. Hope you stick around.
@@BrianMakse absolutely!
Great video Brian!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed. Share it!
They did a good job on this one
Heck yeah.
Lots of car reviewers but u my friend are so cool i like ur piece i am definitely subbing
Thanks, glad you enjoyed. Cool? Nah. Reasonably knowledgeable and top notch driving skill? Yep.
@@BrianMakse sorry for the poor word of choice , nd yep i totally agree! Keep it comin stay blessed
Hope you stick around, lots of great stuff coming!
Wow, only $292,000? I'll take two of those please!
Get in line!

That day was 16C. Very effective at that temp.
By far the best colour you can pick for this car. It looks so good!
Cricket Ball is brill.
This will be my next car to cruise Monaco and Nice (and race a bit the mountainsides) 👌🏻🤤
This is truly the best car of ALL worlds!
Luxury, sportiv, cabrio... what competition is out there at this level for this price? 🤷🏻♂️💪🏻
Nothing. The Continental is brilliant. Excellent choice.

I just love, love, love the colour. 😍😍😍😍
Agreed. It’s even better in person.
@@BrianMakse were are my lottery numbers. Ha ha🚗🚗🚗🚗
I get the feeling this review is more about the car and less about the reviewer than is the norm. Well done.
Thanks, Erik. It's definitely not about me, save for my driver-oriented approach to the review.
As a Brit I would also pronounce the letters t and i in Continental and the word coupe should be said coopay. This is because it is the French word for cut and in France the e has an accent over it which denotes that it is to be sounded. Good video and yes if I win the lotto next week this is my first purchase.
That would take plenty of practice for me to fix that pronunciation! Glad you enjoyed the piece. I highly recommend this car.
Very, very well done.
Love the review
Cheers, thanks!
This car is beautiful! Also i love the color. I thought BMW's were a drivers car but this takes the crown
This is a beautiful machine. I still miss it.
Fabulous car, I liked the blue one best
This Cricket Ball colour is gorgeous in person. Probably my favourite of all Bentley’s I’ve tested.
يالله ... وش هالسيارة خرافية 😭😭😭... سيارة الأحلام بالنسبة لي
إنها سيارة أحلام لمن يحب آلة
جميلة.
Brian Makse awww thank you for the reply ... you are so kind 😘😘🌺🌺
Great Review Brian. Is Bentley working on adding Android Auto?
I’ve never asked, but I doubt it. Porsche IIRC is Apple only because 80% of their customers are iPhone users.
@@BrianMakse But Audi supports Android and the Bentayga shares the basic platform of the Q7 I believe.
@@BrianMakse and I found this link on the web - www.android.com/intl/en_uk/auto/bentley/
@@dennispolyblank8428 I can't tell one Android phone from another, so I'm the last person to ask. I don't look for it, but I don't remember Android Auto in my last Bentayga. All I know is that Continental shares some architecture with Panamera. And that iPhones are better!
@@BrianMakse they are? (scratching my head) LOL
NICE BRACELET
Which one?
If I can sell my art collection I'd consider purchasing this vehicle! For real too! Though first I have to complete my art project!
Go for it!
@@BrianMakse yeah! I'm doing as many wood burnings of photographs of tornadoes! I've currently done over 220 wood burnings of almost every photograph taken of a tornado from 1884 to 1993 and still going strong!
Being that it's a GT, how's the storage? The convertible looks like it takes a fair bit of storage
It’s great, actually, should have showed that. Two of us traveled with four bags in the trunk easily.
230 litres is the official number. Had to fact check that today.
Dream car
Worthy of dreams.
7:48 ON THE RIGHT HAND
That’s from Naimakka in Sweden.
@@BrianMakse LOVE IT
Flat or cross plane, I just prefer the sound of a V8.
Did you catch our W12 episode? Kinda sounds like nothing. I'd like a little more authentic rumble out of this one, personally.
@@BrianMakse Yes I did. I've been at the track when both V8 and V12 Aston's were present. The consensus was that the V8's sounded better. But on one day a fellow had his 599 GTO on the track. I have to admit that V12 exhaust note was intoxicating. Bordering on an act of violence.
Brian if money is not an object would you go home with W12 or V8 ?
W12 for the power over the small improvement in dynamics.that the V8 offers. You really can’t go wrong with either of them.
@@BrianMakse regardless of how nimble the V8 is do you the the heft of the W12 give the car more stable and planted feel on the highway ?
In day to day use, no one would notice a difference in dynamics between the two. If they do, it’s pure hyperbole. And automotive journalists are good at that!
The internet don't work tho.
That color is exquisite. What is the color name?
As I said in the piece, Cricket Ball.
that transmission and engine is actually from a Panamera
No way!
Probably a good thing-the reason the newer Bentleys are pretty reliable (for a British car) is because their major components are sourced from volume manufacturers (Porsche, VW) and the components have been put through their paces and are more widely available.
@@channell11 oh i agree with you 100%, in fact that is precisely the reason I prefer the v8 over the v12, as it uses pcar drivetrain :)
@@pr33tu_ Yes. Although the W12 is a VW engine and it has been proven for over 15 years in the previous Continental and VW Phaeton.
Didn't see anything on the leg room or comfort for the rear passengers, had a Bentayga really didn't like it going to compare V8 or W12 GTC
Adults fit, but space is not generous.
fantastic
The car or the review? 😎
@@BrianMakse Both but mostly the car
Beautiful car! 🇦🇺💐🇺🇸
It sure is!
great car , great review and the lack of that Wankie American accent a bonus
Glad you enjoyed. Not sure that I sound particularly Canadian, though.
Subtle.
50,000 miles and it will be falling apart! I know I have two, Lexus 350 will be like new at 150,000 miles!? All of my be vehicles are purchased used
How do you have two 2020 Bentley Continentals with 50,000 miles on them already?
Brian Makse 2013 and a 2016 didn't make my self clear English is not my first language,too expensive to repair and even service ridiculous for a $500 oil change,no!

You do understand that the 2020 cars are completely different, yes?

Why?
