Bentley Motors Continental Flying Spur Review

Reliability and Quality5 out of 5

The moment you start the query whether the Speed represents good value or not, take a look inside and see leather, wood and chrome living side by side in a harmony unmatched by any other car of remotely similar cost.

And it's not just the quality of the materials that impresses: it's the way they're assembled that sets the Bentley apart. It's enough to make your heart burst with pride in the craftsmen and women in Crewe who continue to show that no-one is better at building this kind of car than the Brits. Sure it helps to have the spending power of its Volkswagen parent, the engineering expertise of the Germans and some shared underpinnings with the VW Phaeton but be in no doubt at all the most of the credit for the sense of overwhelming strength and solidity imparted by the Speed belongs entirely to the staff of Bentley Motors.
