Overview & Reviews
Updates are minor for the 2007 Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Technology upgrades include a DVD-based navigation system (versus CD-based), Bluetooth phone connectivity and an optional rear-seat telephone. Customers will now be offered an almost endless choice of colors with Bentley's new exterior paint-matching service, while the number of interior veneers has been increased to seven. The new Mulliner Driving Specification package gives the Flying Spur a more sporting character, with 20-inch wheels and special diamond-quilted leather.
- Impeccable interior craftsmanship, 552-horsepower turbocharged W12 engine, nearly perfect front seats, inconspicuous up-to-date technology, respectable handling ability.
- Hefty curb weight, pointless shift paddles, rear-seat accommodations should be nicer.

10 reasons not to buy a Bentley - 2007 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By lovecars11 - October 20 - 5:50 amNice to drive with quite enough power (until one drives a Speed version). Good ride and comfy cabin. All that is marred/spoiled by Bentley Motors hateful behavior towards its customers. My Flying Spur (which, when we purchased it, had never been owned by anyone but Bentley Motors and the dealer) now has paint peeling in a bunch of places, an inaccurate speedo, an inaccurate odometer, throws codes seemingly at random, and is now plagued by a shrill noise in the cockpit the dealer was too busy to fix prior to a 7000 mile trip. For us at least, owning a car is not just owning a car, its an experience and a relationship. The folks at Bentley Motors have been so hateful and pompous that the en

The most fun you can have with a 4 door - 2007 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By cuircaleche - May 9 - 5:36 amHaving owned a variety of high performance sedans over the years, and tired of being nickled and dimed to death by my 600SEL, I thought Id try something FAST with AWD. For not so much more than its Audi sibling, the Bentley fit the bill. While it does have some electrical issues, none have been disabling. The ride is a bit noisy due to the high tire pressures and high performance tires. That said, the car is fairly quiet on the road. The 2009 models will be quieter. Acceleration is amazing, the interior is a wonderful place to be, and the car is quite easy to drive. The bluetooth is useless for Verizon customers.

snakes in paradise - 2007 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
By lovecars11 - June 11 - 4:15 pmFast, smooth, comfy,and commodious, we loved this car until Bentley US refused to correct a speedo off by 7%, failed to correct peeling paint (on a $200,000+ car???!!!), and failed to ethically address additional issues with this vehicle. After 4 years with this car, we wish wed never purchased it. It often throws codes on startup, which will get expensive when the extended warranty expires. Poor warranty service/aftercare is a nightmare on any item. On a vehicle at this price point, it is an outrage. It can be great fun to drive for such a huge sedan, but, without proper, kind, and ethical factory support, its nothing more than atarted up piece of garbage we wish wed never purchased
