Sinclair, please don't make another video while being so heavily ignorant about the subject you are 'reviewing'. You don't know what type of engine the car has, you were astonished that the speedometer goes to 200mph (the car is actually rated for that), you don't know what half the buttons are for, and you condescend heavily on the Bentley as if it was normally a complete piece of crap and you were surprised it handled well and had great acceleration. There are no excuses for your lack of preparation and research prior to making this video. Even if you learned something new while 'live' on your video, hit the pause button, read up on the item that caught you off guard, and re-hit 'play' and explain it. You made it seem as if you were completely out of your depth reviewing this prestigious car, and it made it seem as if you truly didn't even deserve to be in the car (my initial impression). I'm convinced you are intelligent enough to be a good reviewer, but please watch DeMuro and other experienced reviewers, and take note that they all have one thing in common: whether they own the review car or not, they ALL have done their homework in order to give us, the audience, the essential elements of information, so that 1) we're better informed, 2) entertained, and 3) motivated to watch more of their vids in the future (making them all richer in the process). The fact that I wrote as much as I have hopefully convinces you that I believe in you, and I think you can improve in the near future. Good luck.
I totally love the way Bentley drives. The only thing I don't like is it has the same issue my Jag had. When something breaks has to go to a dealership cause they make only certain tools that will fit or work with it and only dealerships can buy them unfortunately
I just got my 2006 Flying Spur out of the shop. 2 months and $3600 it still isn’t fixed. A few hours after I drove away…here comes limp mode again. Again. This car loves going into limp mode. Any minor error at all anywhere in the system sends it into limp mode. 40mph limit and I was hours from home. I found that if I pressed a certain spot on the floorboard, I could drive with full power. Seriously. Some wires or something. I love it, don’t get me wrong, but don’t even think about it unless you are very patient and have another car you can actually depend on.
When they were made in 2006 (or 2004 not sure), they were pretty expensive. But now these days, the older generations are like 12,000 or even less. The newer generations are 200,000 probably. What an amazing car though. Only been in the new generation.
6.0 liter W12 twin turbo, and you never used the paddle shifters (they only work when the car is in Sport mode) the back seats also have massagers but the controls are hidden below your knees
The Shield the 6.0 liter used by Bentley is a W12 TT made in England and Each valve is only 0.5 liters. Bentley has been using this motor for decades. The valves are no where near as large as the valves in a US made 7.2 liter V8.
A kid discovering the world ;) Nice. Yes, it's a W12 motor, 12 cylinders in a W shape : three rows of 4 cylinders, instead of two rows of 6 cylinders in a V12 motor. This is common in luxury cars of the Volkswagen/Audi group. Well, you'll find plenty of these 2nd hand Bentleys in dealerships througout Europe. Unfortunately, car insurance, maintenance and gas prices are so insane in Europe that you must think seven times before buying one. Total cost of ownership could become a nightmare.
How this video has 508 likes is beyond me. Um the button with the door open is for the interior lights to illuminate while the doors are open. How could you call yourself doing reviews on cars and not know what that button is for? Like even my 4 year old nephew and niece would figure that out. I must say that the video became cringeworthy at that point. 🤦🏾♂️
100k miles? I'd walk away. Unless you are quick with a wrench... even then I'd walk away. Save 10k and spend 30k on a Bentley with 50k on the odometer. Not sure anyone knows what to expect for them that far up there. And it's not the motor that scares me, it's the electrical components and assesories. I have a z4 with 60k original but the age and use or features takes a hefty toll. Just my personal opinion. I'm also in the market to buy one but from what I read its strongly suggested to not even waste your time unless your spending 39k on the car and you're 100% it's never left the us, it's only had 3 or fewer owners ect.
Music is a good touch and it's nice to get opinions of the vehicle's characteristics but... why attempt to review a vehicle you know nothing about. (W12 by the way) And I really liked your comment about popeyes having that much money in their parking lot.
How can you love a review when the person “reviewing” the car doesn’t even know the function of something as simple as a button with a door open on it? Like even my 4 year old nephew and niece would figure that out. 🤦🏾♂️
I love that old body style that’s my favorite but like right there a new body styles to me are absolute ugly you look great in that car by the way bro!!!!!!❤
Great video, but dirty tennis shoes and clothing for a man.dress up .typical for your generation. See it all the time. Young women nowadays being better dressed for the occasion. This car deserves the best in casual or dressy clothing or DON'T GET INTO IT.
The stuffy ways of the past are dying out, it must suck to watch the world make less and less sense. If he can afford to drive Bentley he is allowed to dress however he wants.
You have a right to your opinion. It socks to me.SO GLAD TO GROW UP IN 1956,NOW AT 65,I,THANK JEHOVAH,GOD.I WILL NEVER DRIVE MY BENTLEY IN A T-SHIRT. ASK A WOMAN WITH CLASS,OR SENIOR CITIZEN ABOUT IT.
@@christopherpaul6062 honestly thank you Christopher! I was on the fence, but now I am pulling the trigger and buying a used Bentley just so I can wear t-shirts while I drive it.

Cant agree with you more….all valid pointers!
Very true
This would have been such a good video
Oh boi. Who cares. Imo its a nice change from reviews made by eggheads because it was honest and not scripted.
Bravo! 👏🏽

In 2014 they updated the Flying Spur’s design and made it much better. You can get one for about $70-80K. It’s a good deal if you find the right one.
First model all the way. Looks amazing. All things balanced, no overdesign. Perfect.
I own the 2007 one. Still has less than 60,000 miles on it. Pure luxury ✨️
Then drive it. They don't like sitting in a garage....

thats why u never buy the cheapest 2006 bentley out there, its always better to pay 7k more for the same car but in way better condition
@@mazi7448 You’re making an assumption, not supported by anything in my post, that it was the cheapest 2006 Bentley out there.
What was the mileage on the odometer when is started doing that?
@@Reeldeal818 About 54k I think.

Does anybody know around how much insurance would cost on an older bentley like this nowadays?

Exactly. No room for ignorance when doing a review. Highly dissapointed.
It’s not that serious. You can easily google that if you like

Why is the check engine light on?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Because it's an Audi / VW W12.. if the light is off, you should really be worried.

I was wondering the same thing. Like have that cleared before doing a review on the car. 🤦🏾♂️
How is she still running? I found one for 20 gs I'm going to purchase
Make sure its 2006 or after and make certain it's never left the US. 20k is alarming, anything under 39k would worry me, myself.

I think you should stick to reviewing bottom end cars, as you just did not look right or sound comfortable in this vehicle.
Wow, where did you get that? You should do more. Great review!
