  • You really have to draw the line somewhere. Honestly. Fortunately for us, the people who make this Bentley didn't draw it before this 5200 lbs. car did 0-60 in about 4 seconds, a quarter mile time of 12.5 at 114, and a top speed of 202MPH. Those numbers are astounding in a car that heavy - just frankly unbelievable - up until the point that I drove it.
    2009 Bentley Continental GT Speed Coupe - full review and test drive by Bill at Curious Cars. Vehicle for sale at the KB Auto Collection. www.kbautocolle..., or at (239) 250-3003.

    I'm so glad you do these rants. Makes me feel like I'm not alone. Please don't get me wrong, I want to avoid people as much as possible. Not because of covid, since I avoided people before.
    Today's world is a difficult place to live, way too complex and snowflakey. And the music, jesus. We have a lot of snow here in Finland right now.
    I didn't have the privilege to really live the 80's, I was born late 70's, but I got a glimpse about it and luckily my brothers born a deceade earlier persued me to some good music since I was 2. My parents, my friends and everyone I wanna know misses the 80's.
    I will not co-operate with this time.
    Greetings from Finland to you Bill and everyone else.

    At my work we’ve had a few of these and my boss usually keeps them as his daily for a while. They’re generally really reliable cars but when they have an issue it is exorbitantly expensive. Luckily the issues seem to be few and far between even as mileage goes past 60-70k

    Love your videos Bill. Just like to point out that although VW own Bentley and supply the engine, transmission and switch gear, the Car is manufactured in the UK which you did say but that beautiful interior is made from scratch here in Cheshire. I live just 8 miles from the factory in Crewe.

  • @beemer1111
    @beemer1111 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a 2006 with only 9k miles. I bought it for a fraction of its original cost, and will use the car a few days a week for regular short highway runs. It appears to be an amazing value at the current low used low mileage , values. I just had all four wheels off to replace the tires, which were
    original, and the suspension, brakes and chassis details are amazing. Quality, rugged, and extremely well finished parts, make these a very
    exceptional car in the $40k to $75k range. I will do most of my own service as I have learned to do my older MB’s, and two 911 Turbos.
    The Bentley should hold value in the $40k range, with proper maintenance, and would last you a lifetime I am sure.
