2016 Bentley Continental GT First Drive Review

[@trygvevellegeitvik9295]

I like that you have used valleys and other beautiful roads around my home town! Great review aswell!

[@BrianMakse]

+Trygve Velle Thank you! That's a beautiful part of the world. I really enjoyed driving there.

[@STEVE33437]

Excellent review Brian. Thorough & to the point. Bravo!

[@BrianMakse]

Steve W Thanks, Steve!

[@markpozzi5056]

Thanks for the videos Brian. I think I have watched this about twenty times (aswell as your other on the V8S) while I waited for my 2016 V8S to arrive. Finally pick it up tomorrow. Keep up the good work

[@18echosf]

Another wonderful review and..........stunning videography!

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks! Much credit due do the camera crew that was there.

[@marc1093280]

My favorite luxury grand tourer coupe.

[@stevenalexander7413]

Perfect review for a masterpiece automobile.

[@BrianMakse]

+Steven Alexander Thanks!

[@itmustbelove08]

The car, the bridge and the scenery are all stunning.

[@BrianMakse]

+craig doss Thanks!

[@Riazor1370]

+Brian Makse Where is it, England? but I don't see any old castles around.

[@501pj]

He said it was Norway.

[@JabbaFanzz]

Man you got some high quality videos right there! Camera work is very nice...although are you using footage from different sources or is this all done by you/your team?

[@BrianMakse]

Nah, Nick wasn't able to attend, so I had to lean on the crew that was there for footage. The footage clearly benefitted by them having a freaking helicopter!

[@peterprimes497]

PeterP here. Nice work as usual Bri. Love your reviews. Would u go for a 16' gtspeed or wait for the 2017 hp increase?

[@harrycalibra]

love the purple coloured one looks stunning thanks again for the video Brian ;-)

[@BrianMakse]

+Harry Smith Thanks, Harry!

[@jeanherve4682]

Great review, clear and convincing !

[@BrianMakse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michaellui74]

Great review Brian as always. Can you review 2016 jaguar f type R coupe 4 wheel drive. thank you. keep up the good work.😊

[@BrianMakse]

+Michael Lui Stay tuned!

[@franciscoespirito-santo3121]

As always; a pleasure to watch your review.

[@BrianMakse]

+Francisco Espírito-Santo Thanks Francisco!

[@胡霜-v4i]

Could you give the name of the place in Norway? so beautiful, as well as the car

[@jordanchavez9117]

Great video as always Brian. By the way what type of color was that Bentley you were in, was it beluga or some other type of black. It's just such a beautiful color.

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks, Jordan. I can't recall which colour that was and can't find it in my notes. Bentley has a wide palette of standard colours and I'm sure this is among them.

[@mohamedrashid.k1965]

Now thats wat i call a review

[@hiltz171jim7]

How was the infotainment system on these 2016s? I keep seeing that it was previously very slow to respond, which is a shame on such an otherwise outstanding vehicle.

[@BrianMakse]

Jimmy Hiltz It's the same as 2012-2015, but I don't find it particularly slower than any other system. We just tested the 2015 GT3-R and lived with it for a few days, and I didn't have any issues with it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKesmKx6grd_aJI - which model year are you referring to?

[@engin628]

very very very beautiful car.

[@NetMillionaire]

GREAT Video & I agree with you the V8S is the best. I BOUGHT ONE!

[@BrianMakse]

+Net Millionaire Thanks! What spec/colour did you get?

[@mugdays]

"There's simply not another grand-touring, 2-door with space for four, and has this Bentley's level of luxury, comfort, power, and all-weather traction." HOLD UP. What about the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4Matic Coupe? That ticks ALL those boxes, and does so better than this Bentley.

[@BrianMakse]

mugdays What about it?

[@mugdays]

Brian Makse Like I said, it ticks all the same boxes, AND it's cheaper to boot. In what area is this Bentley (undoubtedly a fine car) better than an S63 AMG Coupe?

[@BrianMakse]

mugdays The most important one. Buyers in this category aren't in it to save money, mate.

[@mugdays]

Brian Makse And what's that? The "B" on the front? If I were in the market for a car that ticks all the boxes you mentioned, I would go for the car with more power and more features, and that's the Mercedes.

[@BrianMakse]

mugdays Indeed. There are sometimes buyers who go for cheaper. None that I know, but I'm sure some do. The ones that I know are interested in discussing the subtleties between the Continental GT V8 and W12 or the Continental GT and Aston Martin Vanquish or Rolls-Royce Wraith.

[@jeanherve4682]

Did you do a review of the GT speed 2016 ?

[@BrianMakse]

Probably. I think we’ve covered every Bentley except the hybrids.

[@me2ontube]

Which do you prefer this or the vanquish

[@brooksdarryl]

Have they added blind spot monitoring yet??

[@BrianMakse]

Totally useless feature. Set your mirrors properly + pay attention = no blind spots.

[@TheDeathOf_SlimShady]

How do you like the V8 variant more than the W12?

[@BrianMakse]

+Daniel Agha I prefer the Continental GT V8 S model, and the 2016 is even better. Here's our old review of the V8 S: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGK3dJeZZdiDf80

[@gordonclark7632]

Oh what a beautiful motor car. If only a lotto win would come my way :)

[@achiepalaago]

+Gordon Clark Don't worry. It shall be well.

[@gordonclark7632]

Thanks achiepalaago a nice prophesy.

[@stevenalexander7413]

+Gordon Clark Who needs the lotto when you have a powerful mind to create wealth for yourself. The odds are better that way.

[@gordonclark7632]

+Steven Alexander You are probably right

[@demorestautosport]

Beautiful!

[@BrianMakse]

demorestautosport Thanks ROBTASTIC!

[@20899901]

DREAM CAR 😍

[@dcrump]

Does is finally have a USB port?

[@BrianMakse]

Since I stated testing Bentleys in 2012 they've had USB ports, except the Mulsanne I tested years ago.

[@takenbythewindNdrivenbythesea]

beautiful

[@jayaybe1]

For those wondering where this, is it's here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storseisundet_Bridge . You can see it at 4:12 ; )

[@robertlind1511]

I know a few Jewish bankers with this car. I only drive a BMW M5 I am super poor.

[@20899901]

lol you poor fellow 😂😂 ill give you one of my masseratis maybe you can sell it xD

[@Toolgdskli]

So quiet

[@cavaleer]

Seating for four?? LOLOL. Come on, man. At least be honest. Seating for 3 maybe, or two child seats in the back.

[@BrianMakse]

+cavaleer have you put four adults in a Continental? I have.

[@cavaleer]

Pics please.

[@cavaleer]

And for the record, I'm thinking about buying one of these but the lack of legit 4 seating is a deal-breaker.

[@BrianMakse]

+cavaleer give me a sec. I have to go back in time theee years and remind my younger self to take pics.
