The fuel consumption did not seem to bad considering this is a near worse case scenario - freezing weather and, driving from the coast up into the mountains.
"It won't float, it won't be one of those cars bobbing around.." At two and a half tons I should think not. Two and a half tons! That more than my Discovery with me, the missus, the dog and a full tank of fuel in it, ridiculous.
At 1:44 I thought the fender was scraped up and was wondering how you could even show that, then I figured out that it was because of driving in the weather.
If I was in the market for this kind of car I'd defiantly get this over the California or the Maserati. I think it looks better, sounds better, its comfier, you get more for your money. I think the V8 is defo a good choice vs the w12 as well.
Besides this car is not very pretty, the weight is a bad joke. Or an old joke, reminding Ettore Bugatti's "Bentleys are fast trucks" (and when he would know, how much a new 'Bugatti' weighs... omg, he would rotate in his grave).
I enjoy your reviews but this is one of the worst looking cars of recent times. For people with more money than taste I think who like to show it off...
You are slightly embarrassed to go anywhere in it because, as you say, people associate it with footballers and rappers. The slight wiff of Wayne Rooney is enough to put you off going out in it. The thing is though, the V8 is a hell of a lot better then the W12, it now looks a lot better then it ever has done before and the noise this thing makes, beggar belief, deep, throaty, and muscular. Great stuff- it's just a shame that Wayne Rooney and David Beckham, people like this, are associated with them and normal people can't have one. That's why I bought Mercedes SL- a bit less cockish in my opinion.
This guy always makes me smile...
That hotel was spectacular!
"Thank you very much dear" :) excellent
Better than Top gear
Good old Harry , funny and informative in equal measure.✌

New cars also do bad fuel consumption compared to a car a year older. We measure mpgs of trucks. And find massive difference
"A great job, car photography."
"A dream come true."
ALWAYS BEEN A BIG FAN OF BENTLEY.........................LOOKS LIKE YOUR IN THE PROVINCE OF GALICIA

Although the Bentley actually uses less fuel..
It weighs as much as my 2013 Lincoln Navigator L
As a bassist I much prefer the sound of the W12

Ah Harry, sorry mate but you are forgetting your history, not all Bentlys have have V8s, those from the '60s and before actually had straight 6s).
