Bentley Motors Continental Review

Safety and Security5 out of 5

It has four-wheel drive and ESP, massive brakes, plus superb handling and grip. So whatever the weather, accident avoidance is excellent.

In a crash, it's immensely strong, and has the full airbag set: eight, including four side 'bags and two full-length curtain 'bags. The security system is similar to that on any high-end luxury car from the Audi/VW stable, with immobiliser and alarm provided as standard.
