  Not Quite As Good As The... - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
  By CaliforniaCarsOrg - June 29 - 1:33 pm

  Mercedes Benz S600 or the BMW 760Li. The handling was fine, but we were a bit suprised to find out that the garage door opener is optional. This luxury car is beautiful, but if you want to buy an exotic luxury car, look at the S600 or the 760Li or the Audi A8 W12 L as well. The car is a bit heavy, so it didnt perform as well as it could. Its also uncomfortable in the rear seats, compared to the BMW 760Li. In some cases, its better than the S600 and the 760Li, but overall, its not quite as good.

  Sheer Luxury, Built to Last - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
  By BobS - September 20 - 7:50 am

  Having 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!

  Bently Continental Flying Spur - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
  By Texas driver - July 16 - 11:16 am

  I 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.

  Upgraded Volkswagen - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
  By robert annenbaum - January 6 - 12:06 pm

  I 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 am

  I 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.

  Great All Around Car - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
  By mikemgm - March 31 - 6:36 pm

  The windshield cracked and the console display system went out in the first few months I had it. Other then that, its a great all around car. It has excellent power (though there is some turbo lag at the bottom), a smooth ride, it corners very well for a 5,500 lb. car, the AWD is great in the rain, and it is far more of a head turner then a MB or BMW. The interior is luxurious. If money is no option then what the heck, you cant take it with you!

  Its great, but... - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
  By Treo - February 15 - 11:13 pm

  The cars performance rocks, it is just that now they have the Chrysler 300 with the exact same front grille (am I the only one that notices it?). The garage door opener is a disgrace, since its not standard. The radio and navigation are great, and the comfort is great as well. Its a gas guzzler, alright (how does the 760Li get 22 mpg and S65 AMG 18 mpg?) Even though I love my Bentley a lot and probably would recommend this car, Id recommend a Mercedes-Benz S600 or S65 more.

  Sheer Pride - 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
  By Michael - January 15 - 11:40 pm

  Lets face it all cars are good these days and our expectations are equally high, but no other car can give me the great sense of pride I feel when I walk up to my Bentley. It just oozes class and quality, and judging by the finger marks on the glass after parking in public others think (or wish) the same.
