I just had the pleasure of driving a month old Bentley Continental GT. It was black on a deep brown/tan interior. For anyone who is into cars you can easily tell this car is VW/Audi but with a nice Bentley interior/exterior. Driving perspective, seats are very comfortable and plenty of room for my 6`0 body though visibility was pretty poor all around. Steering was decently weighted but you could def. feel an AWD system when making turns. Autobox sucked ass, why they don't put in DSG is beyond me!? Sound was suprisingly deep/bassy, I was expecting it to be very quiet, especially since the glass was two piece thick! It takes off quick when the twin turbos boost, especially for weighing 5300lbs. There is noticeable turbo lag but I've been in worse, ex. Porsche Cayenne Turbo. I was very surpised when I hit it in 2nd gear around 4k and then let off the gas a second or two later, the car kept going for the most part, I've felt this is other turbo cars and it's not a nice feeling imo. It's quick and gets out there when needed but it's not INSANE. The engine is very smooth throughout the power band also. For what it was made for, it does well...a fast and all out luxurious grand touring coupe. Personally I like lighter/nimble vehicles so this car didn't do a whole lot for me.
