100% agree. The Benteyga is just ugly. This sedan is stately and says "I've done well in life." The Benteyga says, "Me too, because everyone else is producing ugly or unreliable SUV's!"
Harry Bought one today as a retirement present for myself and my wife. We have been an item since a school dance in 1972. We are looking forward to many miles together and Europe post Covid.
Mine has a chrome grille and an extra 100nm torque and called Arnage T. You can also see the flying B on the bonnet, and a better looking boot. Just saying to try and boost second hand values !
I'd have yours any day of the week. Derek. I feel that these days Bentley are trying a bit too hard to be all things for all people, instead of focusing on what they do best.
"I might as well be in the Countach." - love it. "It has no right to go this quickly!" Great stuff. As we know, Harry is such a car expert and enthusiast. So entertaining. Keep up the good work. Many thanks. Kind regards.
Your car and farm videos form some of the few bright spots in these dreary times. Another great video, Harry! Agree with you re radiator grill, not just in terms of material, but also in design. Bland. Where is the Bentley heritage? Compare RR and its approach to radiator presence.
Our dear Harry deserves a wake up slap from time to time, indeed. He bashes Bentley for being politically incorrect in a increasingly orwellian marxist anti-automobile regime? Maybe this car was designed with a still free US market in mind thanks to Trump, where I will be purchasing this very same gem but devoid of the Blackline spec in the summer. And was he joking about a plug-in hybrid variant? Weighing 3,000 kilograms and plugging about like a vulgar vacuum cleaner? -sigh-
thank you, Harry for pulling me again in a world of luxury and enjoyment for 20 minutes. even though i´m not so much interested in cars in general, i love to watch your videos as they are very entertaining. thanks for all your work. found and signed in to your "new" farm channel by the way. take care :)
I honestly believe when the sands of time pass and the history books are written it will state that “H Metcalffe carried all petroleum heads through the covid crisis” 👍
And me, I see a Harry's Garage video pop up and I save it for when I can really enjoy it. I think this generation of Bentley have smashed it in terms of styling. The last generation never quite got it right. Shame about the plastic grill though...
Harry is such a great reviewer but in saying that I enjoy all the english reviewers they are so informative and relaxing to listen to.i do like Doug Monroe from the states too😊
It’s the four door four seater that you’d be chauffeured in Monday to Friday but then drive it yourself for the weekend down to the golf or country club with family in tow (not that we really have country clubs in Blighty 🇬🇧 - or do the hole family weekend thing 😆🤦🏻♂️) More likely to just burn off a few boy racers at the traffic light grand prix on the way to the diy store 🤣
Vixter _ Yeah I somewhat agree but you’d compare it to the Ghost if anything, I think the Mulsanne would be compared to the Phantom VIII & then you’d compare the Audi, Benz & BMW. So in comparison to it’s competition I can see why some wouldn’t see it as a limo and more of a blend like a Ghost.
Yes! A new Harry's Garage video. All is well in my world This is the one car I've really wanted see Harry review. Always been a fan of the new Continental series from Bentley and the flying spur is to me the pinnacle. Black line spec is horrid though, luxo barges need chrome.
Enjoyable video as ever Harry. One thing that the light colour of the test car highlighted for me,and I hadn't really noticed before, is how relatively short the front overhang is thanks to pushing the front axle forward on the new platform. Obviously has the benefit of putting more of the engine behind the axle line too by default. You are correct though, despite being a massively excellent piece of engineering, is it really in tune now with todays mood (even pre CV19) ? Interesting times indeed !
My favourite Bentley, and perhaps my favourite car ever. I absolutely love this beast. Probably the only car I would take over the Mercedes-Benz S-Class S650, which I have driven. The Bentley Continental GT Coupé is not really for me. I can get over the looks for sure. I prioritize the feel, luxury, and drive of any car over its looks. I wish I could rent and live with it for a few weeks, at least. I certainly can get use to the large pillars. My C-Class kinda has giant pillars too and so did an older Merc SUV I had. I am in-love with this Bentley and it seems like a joy to drive and sit in. Very luxurious. Cheers, Harry. Stay safe.
This is definitely my favorite of the modern limousines. It looks imposingly elegant yet its a drivers car. Love it. And its the one with the most interesting engine!
I love Harrys reviews, he relates to us exactly how I’d like him too,, no faffing around... plus he gives me something to aim for.. (sell house buy Bentley)
A brilliant vlog as always, I cant wait for the next one already. I do wonder what the all-new electric Jaguar XJ will be like, especially in long-wheelbase form, that might answer some of your questions at the end.
whoever was choosing options for this car must have been the most boring person in the world, I mean bentley will do any kind of color combination inside or outside, just on their configurator they have hundreds, and this guy goes yea, lets have silver outside with grey inside, dreary and grim
Dariune I totally agree. You can get a Kia with a gray, black, or beige interior. This car, on the other hand, can be had with any interior color. Why not take advantage of that?
Probably the owner's "boring weekday" car for ferrying clients and business partners hence the dull colours. I don't mind it actually. Rather have racing green with a linen white/walnut trim interior though
Positives - Huge headroom, Quiet, Comfortable, Understated elegant looks, Great Wheels, Reliable. Negatives - 15 pounds Mascot, 20 pounds plastic Grille , large B pillars. Whatever car those negatives were on , would cause me not to buy the car. Bentley charge the customer 2000 pounds more put a metal grille. Redesign the flying B, it looks like 1970's junk.
Why is everyone disappointed with the Tail end of the car. Too me it's a great fit. I don't know everyone has their own Opinion. Bentley did an excellent job with the Car.
I find the aluminium construction point interesting Harry. The Audi A8 doesn't really have such features despite sharing a similar construction. I wonder whether this chassis is considerably stiffer than the A8.
Yes I don't understand the fuss about "piano veneer". Just buy a piano for 50K if you're after piano veneer xD This is a simpleton's definition of "luxury"
From my viewer point of view - Your work is 2 steps away from being the best car reviews out there, Harry. 1) An edited summery version, 5 minute target. 2) Some outside views [of moving car to include performance focused action. Level and aerial drones] Ridley Scott style.
@@SPC22 thanks for the vote of confidence. I loved my Phaeton and was sorry when it went 5 yrs ago. Very comfy and luxurious but not the most reliable. I now run a 4.2 diesel Cayenne which is nice but does not have the luxury touches the Phaeton had.
5,200 lbs (2371 kg) is damn good for a positively giant sedan stuffed to the gills with luxury, sound deadening, tech and giant motor with turbos intercoolers etc. Mightily impressed.
Minor gripe - the windscreen mounted camera is in the way of the road when you're giving it the beans! Noticed this on the beautiful F430 manual review too. Somewhat spoils the 'being there' experience! Both great videos though, thank you. Amazing how quietly you can talk in the Bentley.
@@uksharif We are all entitled to our opinions, and although I respect yours, I stand by my original statement - not a fan of the Flying Spur. The Continental GT coupe is fabulous; I find the FS replete with intellectual atrophy. If I want a great sedan, Rolls-Royce is where I'd go.
zg pm lmaooo savage ... you never know though there are people with resources that enjoy YT just as much as those watching this from a pos android on some free WiFi lolll
Mulsanne will be made again into a better car. Mulsanne was designed 9 years ago and wasn't a major update since then. with respect to time, Mulsanne was amazing, i hope it would continue to be amazing again.
Dear Harry, A couple of years ago you did an excellent review on the Jaguar XJR. I was wondering how you would compare the two - both in terms of performance and comfort. Thank you!
So glad it's got the twin glass roof, otherwise i think - despite the size, that the interior would feel a little claustrophobic with those small windows. The glass in the roof evens the whole lot out very nicely. That interior is stunning, i love the chrome trims on everything.
Love your channel , cars are amazing but I love looking at the scenery from home. Can't believe I get excited to see Witney Waitrose car park.. Brilliant channel for a home sick car nut 😂
Great review of a great car. I think it looks stunning from the front and side. The rear looks good but I'd say it's the least attractive side of it. The interior is probably the best and most beautiful in the industry. The view out is what disappoints me. I cannot believe the size of that B pillar, compromising access and visibility in an otherwise perfect car! I kinda disagree with you slightly on the engine. I think that engine suits the car perfectly and gives it plenty of effortless performance. This car will never be a rational purchase, it's an ultra-luxury item, and fuel economy isn't a very concerning factor in this specific market. Especially at that price point, there definitely won't be enough of them anyway to create any kind of damage to the environment.
How perfect would your life have to be for a car this luxurious to fit in with it? That's what I always think when I watch video reviews of cars like this. I can only imagine.
You have done it again Harry,thanks for a great review.Lovely car. Why is the bonnet catch and lift still the archaic manual old system?does not seem right in such a prestigious vehicle.
Love the front but haven’t been a fan of the rear, prefer the Mulsanne’s rear but overall it’s a good looking car. I’d compare it to the Ghost and compare the Mulsanne to the Phantom VIII, this vehicle in my opinion is a blend between a car that you could be chauffeured in and one you can drive as well and they’ve done a great job.
At least where I live, it feels a world of large SUVs. So refreshing to visit a traditional (granted large) form of vehicle and one that cossets and seems so charming.
Do you know what?! I think he has, for the reason that the car was already sold when he drove it. Normally he does mention and thank the owner for letting him drive the respective car, but he hasn't this time...I'm guessing we'll just have to stay tuned :-D
If you look closely, you can see it in the background behind Harry in some of the shots in the garage... You could tell in the video he was quite taken by it!
Harry I thoroughly enjoy all of your reviews . Every spec, facts and figures delivered in such a reserved, calm demeanor. No theatrics needed . I am in the States and own a 2019 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 3.7litre naturally aspirated V6 . Their exterior is strikingly alike . From the shape of the grille ( although the CONTINENTAL GT is nearly an exact match as they share the wire mesh with the only difference being that the LINCOLN Continental grille wire shapes are formed into the shape of the Lincoln Motor Car company symbol. I assume that this has something to do with FORD owning JAGUAR (XJ L & the TOWN CAR from 2003 until production end with 2011 ), Aston Martin etc . Would you consider doing a comparison for us Yanks of the Bentley and the 2017 through 2020 LINCOLN Continental which has an available 3.0 litre Twin Turbo (ECO Boost) that produces an, amazing to me, 400 bhp ! Very very quick ! Cheers
Can’t be happier with another Harry’s review , literally they are all what’s right , proper test, review , scenario. It’s addictive . The grill mmm probably another eco-friendly bug crash counter measure ? Who knows , I wonder the cost of hitting a big fat pigeon in the road . Who knows . Harry thanks and keep going !
Its about time that you can hear someone give great details of a automobile it 110% better then the music which can’t tell you details of a automobile or sale u a automobile thank you so much for the great details
Im very fortunate to have driven all the latest Bentleys on a regular basis recently. Out of them all the Flying Spur is my favourite, i love it. For me, its the best car in the world.

I agree with some of the pros and cons listed but I have to disagree on one thing - this car is so much more of a boss choice than a Bentayga.
100% agree. The Benteyga is just ugly. This sedan is stately and says "I've done well in life." The Benteyga says, "Me too, because everyone else is producing ugly or unreliable SUV's!"
If you want a real boss car get the Mulsanne
The Bentayga looks like a London Taxi, it’s just hideous from all angles.

the mulsanne is definitely a limo but flying spur, ehh I'm not convinced, its kinda 50/50 split between drive it yourself and be chauffeured

Well done Harry great video mate love 💓 the car 🇦🇺from OZ .
Don’t know what is worst: the plastic grill or the illuminated “B”.
Who goes around patting grills? Illuminated B is optional. And, yes, it's pedestrian regulations, not greed.
Those will the money to buy it will love the illuminated "B" and never even go near the grill.
At least where I live, it feels a world of large SUVs. So refreshing to visit a traditional (granted large) form of vehicle and one that cossets and seems so charming.
I noticed you smiling a lot in the f430 video. Have you bought it?
Do you know what?! I think he has, for the reason that the car was already sold when he drove it.
Normally he does mention and thank the owner for letting him drive the respective car, but he hasn't this time...I'm guessing we'll just have to stay tuned :-D
@@franciscoamaral4383 he would've mentioned that surely?
If you look closely, you can see it in the background behind Harry in some of the shots in the garage... You could tell in the video he was quite taken by it!
Oh Not necessarily, he could be saving that reveal for a future trip
@@gerrywatson261 he might've just not given it back yet lol
Harry
I thoroughly enjoy all of your reviews . Every spec, facts and figures delivered in such a reserved, calm demeanor. No theatrics needed .
I am in the States and own a 2019 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 3.7litre naturally aspirated V6 .
Their exterior is strikingly alike . From the shape of the grille ( although the CONTINENTAL GT is nearly an exact match as they share the wire mesh with the only difference being that the LINCOLN
Continental grille wire shapes are formed into the shape of the Lincoln Motor Car company symbol.
I assume that this has something to do with FORD owning JAGUAR (XJ L & the TOWN CAR from 2003 until production end with 2011 ), Aston Martin etc .
Would you consider doing a comparison for us Yanks of the Bentley and the 2017 through 2020
LINCOLN Continental which has an available 3.0 litre Twin Turbo (ECO Boost) that produces
an, amazing to me, 400 bhp ! Very very quick !
Cheers
Small windows are a no no for me. Claustrophobic.
I'm sure that's the reason you won't buy this $275,000 vehicle...
@@LigerSupremacy i honestly hate the big engine, i prefer my 1.3 fiat engine.
Can’t be happier with another Harry’s review , literally they are all what’s right , proper test, review , scenario. It’s addictive . The grill mmm probably another eco-friendly bug crash counter measure ? Who knows , I wonder the cost of hitting a big fat pigeon in the road . Who knows . Harry thanks and keep going !
The front end looks like a late 90's Corolla, the model known as the "bugeye"..
I was wondering what it reminded me of!
He already said pedestrian safety regulations.
@@krane15 Oh okay, that's a valid excuse for it looking rubbish then...
@@buggs9950 There's no accounting for taste; and haters gonna hate.
@@krane15 Then what's your point?
Love your reviews Harry. Not sure if this has been requested before but would love to see reviews of your new 80's superbikes.
The back of the car is horrible in my opinion, they should have made it more like the Continental coupé.
Yeah I agree with you on that .they put so much effort on the front and side profiles only to no imagination with the back end.especially the lights🤢
I wanted to agree, but if I change the category of my view point, I start to like the rear because of the elegant simplicity.
*coupé
Plus it’s what gives it the 207 mph capability so can’t complain too much.

Another great video Harry. I dream of owning a Bentley but unless I win the lottery I’m afraid it will never be!
The looks are a bit bit naff for a Bentley.
Conti GT all the way.
Wonderful series Harry. Always waiting for new additions. Umm, when will next episode of Espada engine rebuild be added?
Nice enough car, but pretty much defines wretched excess.
Its about time that you can hear someone give great details of a automobile it 110% better then the music which can’t tell you details of a automobile or sale u a automobile thank you so much for the great details
That front grill is unacceptable for a Bentley! And the rear reminds me of those hideous BMW 7 series from the mid 2000s. 👎🏼
That's just an option, the standard is a chrome grille.
Im very fortunate to have driven all the latest Bentleys on a regular basis recently. Out of them all the Flying Spur is my favourite, i love it. For me, its the best car in the world.
6:37 You knowwwwww
The black grill and things are really nice. Classy. 207mph ass kicker!
