Bentley Flying Spur (06-08): Ownership Experiences Sought

I've previously had two spurs and also two GT's. I much preferred the spur over the GT. The driving position is better, I think that the screen has a more upright rake and there may be more headroom. I had a non mulliner spec car and that gave comfort ventilated seats which you don't get with a mulliner car. The sunroof is a nice option too as are soft close doors. I found it very relaxing to drive. It has plenty of power and I did not find the size of the car a problem at all. I don't remember having any issues on either car. My first was an 05 and the second an 07. I preferred the 05, it was silver tempest with portland. I should have kept that car. There is of course ample leg room in the back. I would buy one again. I never felt like a chauffeur when I drove it either.

 

Thx for starting this thread, anxious as well for fellow fchat member input on B gt and flying spur.

 

I have a 2013 Conti GT LeMans edition with Mulliner spec and use it as a daily driver for the last 3 years driving it 3-4x/week (Mind you in the summer I probably only drive 1x/week as I have a 458 coupe and 488 Spider).

No issues with it, as a matter of fact just bought extended 2 year Bentley warranty on it since we opted to keep it. Great car only wished I bought it few years earlier since its been such a pleasure to drive and dependable.

 

I put 131k miles on my 05 gt, with no major problems or issues at all. Wife has a 2014 Spur and so far so good. They are real cars, we use them in all weather, and they are as reliable as the VWs they are really are (perhaps better).
