Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Unbelievably powerful and QUICK out of the blocks.
What's it like to park?
This is a long car but no problem to park. Wouldn't take it to a multi-storey with much optimism.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing wring but servicing is unbelievably expensive through Bentley dealers, but to maintain the value of the car you have little choice but to stay with the main dealers.
What's most practical about your car?
There is an incredible amount of room in the back and the heated seats are fantastic for the kids in winter.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Considering my car was 7 years old when I bought it, there is an unbelievable amount of gadgetry in there. I would probably have to say heated seats and air conditioning controls in the rear.
