    Small, medium, and large as done by merry old England

    I own the rrs and lotus but the Bentley is only a loaner for a weekend extended test drive. Its a v8 flying spur. Didnt love it at first. The all black makes it look like an airport livery car but its growing on me.

    Fantastic combo of ride and handling. Sporty enough when put into sports mode. Good brakes and steering. Transmission lets it down compared to panamera. Ridiculous paddles get in way too. Needs bright colors especially interior.

    Giving it back tomorrow. Doubt they have a customer at $250k. Too similar to my 07 Audi a8l. Infotainment is slow like 07 too

    That's a cool pic showcasing the difference in sizes. I always felt the similar about flying spur V8 you get better materials and plushness but you could get a Audi S8 which has the same engine for 130 +\- which I feel is a better value.

    this Bentley leases for $3500/month with who knows what kind of down payment. just saw ad in paper for a8l lease at $900/month. very, very similar cars. guess that's why im not a potential Bentley customer.

    Spur is starting to grow on me. Transmission learning aggressive shifts in sport mode. Ride and handling second to none
    These rims are a $15000 option! Yikes
