Sheer Luxury, Built to Last - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By BobS - September 20 - 7:50 amHaving owned quite an array of luxury vehicles over the past 30+ years I thought Id become quite jaded. I loved my Jaguar XJs but then moved on to the Mercedes S-class, owning 4 over the years (including a new 2007 for my wife). The time had come for something different--something which looks and feels superior. The Flying Spur is IT! No Mercedes sedan can compare with the WOW factor of this Bentley. And, the beauty, quality and craftsmanship of the interior places this car head and shoulders all others. While I have no doubt the 2007 S-class is the true standard of the world, there is a certain satisfaction in driving the much more exclusive Flying Spur. It is a JOY!

By Robert C. - September 2 - 1:10 amParple Lossh knows what hes talikng about! I dont like my Bentley either. Its extremely uncomfortable. I would rather have a Mercedes-Benz S600. Everyone has their own opinion, of course.

Special Car - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By bb - December 1 - 6:13 amI am very happy with this car. Compared to my previous cars, the S55 CL65 and S550, this car is the best and gives you everything, like performance, looks, and ride quality. To sum it up I find myself looking for reasons just to drive it. The car has a way of making you feel special. I see a lot of comparisons to the BMW 760Li and the S600, these are great cars but check out what they sell for only a year old. They lose a lot of value very quickly. Im speaking from experience, I traded my 06 CL65 on the Bentley.

Beats BMW 7s & MB600 Hands Down! - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By MichaelF - September 5 - 6:13 amThe Flying Spur replaced our Mercedes V12 and BMW 7 series. There is no comparison. Power and handling in the Bentley is superb, however, the quality, craftsmanship and design is unbelievable. The electronics and navigation is intuitive, making the BMW "I-Drive" look far more complicated than it needed to be. Acceleration pins you to the seat. Because of all wheel drive in the Bentley, our recent snow/rain vacation trip was far more relaxing because road handling was exceptional. This will be the first of many Bentleys!

The Car is Amazing ... YEAH, RIGHT! - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By Bentley Owner - May 22 - 3:26 pmO.K. So everyone might think that Bentley has a good name, and they do. I love my Continental GT, but my Flying Spur is a joke. In other words, Its garbage. I bought it, spent a week with it, then returned it. I bought myself a BMW 760Li and now, because of my Flying Spur, am thinking of swapping it in for a Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren or a Mercedes Benz CLK 55 AMG, or maybe a SL 65 AMG. I dont know. Despite its "luxury" name, I find my Audi A6 to be more luxurious. Everyone, though, is subjected to their own, personal opinion.

Flying Spur is a Pleasure - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By jeff - January 4 - 6:03 pmThe Bentley Continental Flying Spur is absolutely the best vehicle I have ever driven. My Arnage is in the garage more now than ever before. I drive it almost every day and look forward to many years of enjoyment. Thank you Bentley for this vehicle.

Bently Continental Flying Spur - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By Texas driver - July 16 - 11:16 amI had less than 1,000 miles on this car and it had to be taken in for service twice. The wheels were not balanced properly for the first visit. The air conditioner went out in 100 degree temps on a road trip. It is a lovely car other than those problems, but it makes one wonder what is next. There is a fabulous sound system on the car. But the interior storage space is not large enough. If I put in an XM radio, I would lose my one ashtray. There is nowhere for change if that is gone. It drives beautifully. I cant wait to get out on the open road with this car.

Exquisite - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By craig29 - July 4 - 12:30 amIm totally excited about this car. Ive had and driven just about everything luxury and they all pale in comparison. The Continental Flying Spur has plenty of room, power and styling. My only complaint is that the bluetooth only works with Nokia phones and my Razer doesnt work on the system.

Upgraded Volkswagen - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By robert annenbaum - January 6 - 12:06 pmI was treated better at the Mercedes and BMW dealerships than I was at the Bently dealer. This car has exhilarating performance but lacks the technology that Mercedes or BMW have. I needed to add satellite radio and I had to buy a special phone to work with the "optional phone system" to integrate with the car system. Bentley you should be ashamed of yourselves nickel and diming your customers like that. It has panache and if that is worth $40,000 more to you than owning the other cars that I described, then buy it.

Spur vs. Arange - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By WJR - November 30 - 9:03 amI traded in my Arnage T for the Spur and never looked back. The Spur has everything I wanted (except no MP3 hook-up) in an auto. Although the Arnage T turned more heads (who cares) the Spur outdoes it in every way, especially the interior! The Arnage felt like getting into a space capsule (Im 61") and was in the shop a good amount...the Spur on the other hand, not a hiccup! It delivers flawless performance, comfort and design (although the back end is a bit odd to me). I believe to have finally found that love match between man and machine with the Spur.
