The Bentley Continental is one of the best second hand buys, they are so cheap now. If you buy one just make sure it has a good recent history. Minimum of the last 3 years. The only car that compares is the BMW M5.

The 2015 Bentley continental is unmatched. So much of the car is hand built. The leather upholstery is hand stitched by 120 skilled women in the factory, the woodwork is similarly cut, shaped and finished by hand. The car weighs in excess of 1.75 tonnes yet can top 200mph!

Bentley Continental (2018-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| A huge advance over its predecessor | Such class and quality come at a price |
| Amazing blend of agility and continent-crossing comfort | Extremely high running costs |
| Opulent interior is truly luxurious | A Ferrari 812 Superfast is more exciting to drive |
Quick Summary
The Bentley Continental (2018-present) represents a significant leap forward from its predecessor, sharing its platform with the Porsche Panamera rather than the Volkswagen Phaeton. This new foundation enables the Continental GT to masterfully balance the dynamism of a sports car with the cosseting luxury of a grand tourer. Available with either a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 or a 6.0-litre W12 engine, the Continental GT delivers exceptional performance, with the W12 capable of reaching 207mph. The repositioned engine, combined with advanced chassis technologies including variable anti-roll bars, torque vectoring, and four-wheel drive, makes the car far more agile and responsive than its predecessor whilst maintaining superior comfort and refinement.
The Continental GT stands out as one of the most rounded grand tourers available, offering practical accommodation for four adults with a 358-litre boot, an opulently appointed cabin with hand-stitched leather and premium wood veneers, and comprehensive technology including a 12.3-inch infotainment system with satellite navigation and Apple CarPlay. However, ownership comes with substantial costs: fuel economy ranges from 19.1mpg to 23.9mpg depending on specification, servicing costs £799 to £1,199 annually, and replacement tyres for 22-inch wheels command four-figure sums. Vehicle Excise Duty is at the highest rate, making this a car for those prepared for significant running expenses.
Best for: Discerning buyers seeking the ultimate grand tourer that balances performance with luxury, those prioritising continent-crossing comfort with genuine driving engagement, and collectors valuing opulent craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.
Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those concerned with fuel economy or running costs, or drivers prioritising outright handling sharpness over balanced refinement.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bentley Continental | 4/5 | 5.0/5 | 28.5% | 4.2/5 |
| BMW 1 Series | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 35.0% | 4.4/5 |
| Audi A3 | 4/5 | 4.7/5 | 32.3% | 4.4/5 |
| Aston Martin DB11 | 4/5 | 5.0/5 | 33.3% | 4.1/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Continental if: You seek the ultimate grand tourer balancing performance with luxury, prioritise continent-crossing comfort with genuine driving engagement, or value opulent craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.
Consider alternatives if: You are budget-conscious, concerned with fuel economy or running costs, or prioritise outright handling sharpness over balanced refinement.
Competitive Position: The Bentley Continental (2018-present) is the undisputed master at balancing agility with continent-crossing comfort, outperforming rivals in this regard. Whilst the Aston Martin DB11 and Ferrari 812 Superfast offer sharper handling, and the Rolls-Royce Wraith provides greater luxury, the Continental GT excels as the most rounded grand tourer available. Its Porsche-derived platform, advanced chassis technologies, and opulent interior make it a brilliantly executed car. However, historically strong sales have meant resale values haven't been as robust as expected, and substantial running costs demand careful consideration before purchase.
