  Nothing Else Quite Like It - 2006 Bentley Continental GT
  By bob - January 24 - 4:43 pm

  Having been the owner of Merdedes, BMWs, Porsches, and quite a few others, the Bentley Continental GT is far superior in all aspects. Its power can only be understood by being in the drivers seat. This car is ell worth the dollars. I give applause to the Bentley design team.

  A Bently is Still a Bently - 2006 Bentley Continental GT
  By THE CONSULTANT - October 25 - 11:13 pm

  The Continental GT, which I have owned for two years, is an eye catcher. If you seek attention, look no further, The car performs well for its size, but Bentley was a little careless with some of the interior features, none of which compromises the cars driveability. For example, the seats really need more adjustment positions, the phone system is antiquated, and the command system leaves a little technology on the table, but other than that they did a great job.

  Fabulous Vehicle - 2006 Bentley Continental GT
  By Gil Amoroso - August 17 - 3:53 pm

  I couldnt disagree more with the naysayers of this automobile. Its not only beautiful and fast but its great to drive. It has superb handling for a heavy car but Im not Mario Andretti. The gas mileage is awful but what would you expect from a 550 hp vehicle? A Prius its not. Its build quality is great and Ive had no problems so far. Its a real head turner wherever I go. .Im very happy with the purchase.

  Bentley Good, but Not Great - 2006 Bentley Continental GT
  By Roger Marchs - February 3 - 10:23 pm

  The Bentley Continental GT is comfortable and darn fast. However too its console contains too many shared Volkswagen/Audi parts. Come on, for $165,000 I dont want the Audi controller, nor do I want two paired Volkswagen 6 cylinder engines bolter together for a total of 12. This is a pretty car and its very comfortable. Its almost great, but not quite there.

  The Bentley - 2006 Bentley Continental GT
  By Ryan Andrews - November 2 - 12:46 am

  This is one fantastic car. Its fast, handles well, has great looks, and has a Bently badge which makes it that much better. I like to drive with the paddle shifters, tap the left one to downshift an the turbos propel you to great speed within seconds an lets you hit very high speeds, which doesnt take very long. Its steering accuracy is superb at all speeds which makes the car feel lighter than it is. It wieghs about 5,200 pounds, but the steering makes it feel like its a mere 2,100 pound Miata. The brakes never fade or give up, I went from around 80 to 0 mph with in a few seconds to avoid rear ending a car in heavy LA traffic, most cars would have squeky, faded brakes, this thing never gives up. I love it!

  Disappointed in Bentley - 2006 Bentley Continental GT
  By Let down by Bentley - March 23 - 9:30 pm

  This is a great car with one major exception. Using the phone, after you dial a primary phone number there is no way to dial an extension while driving. I cant use the car for business calls. The car sits in the garage. If you need to use this car phone to dial an extension after you dial your office, forget it. Make sure to check it out for yourself before purchasing this car. I would like to get a Flying Spur but with the phone the way it is, Im getting a MBZ S600 or S65. Also, if you are tall the seat belt pulls down on your shoulder. Last, the air conditioning is weak. All this being said, this car is a GREAT drive.

  Power, handling, braking is superb. Enough GVW to be classified as a light truck but nimble as a Ferrari in the turns. Quiet yet throaty. This is the best car in class that I have ever owned. Double insulated glass. Everything leather. Check out the interior trim. Hardly a sign of plastic anywhere. I rate this car based on performance, appearance, reliability. I give it 10+ in every category. It has bluetooth yet the iPhone does not work with it. The navigation in the 06 is by cd, not the greatest. Nobodys perfect.
