2008 Bentley Continental GTC 2dr Convertible AWD (6.0L 12cyl Turbo 6A)

Review

My third Bentley GT (2004 GT, 2006 Spur, 2008 GTC) - simply unbelievably competent. Spoils you for any other motorcar. This is an automobile that is as comfortable at 120 MPH as tooling around the neighborhood. Superlative handling, nice exhaust note, power (@ 552 BHP!) Appointments are bar none. Flawless reliability, fit and finish. KILLER sound system and back up camera is well appreciated. Top up or top down it's definitely at the top of my automotive list. Never go back to MB again. Overall ownership experience is superior and I've owned them all. Plus you don't see yourself coming and going all day in one.

Favorite Features

Powertrain, effortless handling, reliability, amazing standard for interior appointments/hides/wood, love the back-up camera, and the exterior that is both understated and yet "hip"

Suggested Improvements

iPod integration config with sound system is pre-historic and needs rethink. 535 xi I own has a better interface - Park Distance Control would be more useful if it keyed to a dashboard display as in the BMW. "Onstar" type assistance would be nice - at the price shouldn't they offer it?
