Love the Roma and the direction they went in with the styling. Most modern cars seem too complicated and over-styled, but the Roma is so simplistic and elegant, reminds me of 90s Ferraris like the 456 and 550 Maranello.

I fully agree, and Ferrari were one of the worst with the messy over-styled designs so it's nice to see them calm down and make something beautiful. I think it was Clarkson who said that Ferrari haven't made a beautiful car for a long time. "Striking, but not beautiful" and I wonder if that's now changed?

As an owner of a 575, which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful modern Ferrari's, the Roma is a modern interpretation of the great GTs in the back catalogue. I'm just not a fan of the interior. I've sat in one and I don't enjoy the centre section which divides the car. And I'm still undecided on the front grill. But no doubt it's a great driver's car.

Personally I think it's the most unnecessary ferrari ever made and will be the first ferrari to depreciate like the aston and jag to .

As a pure GT, I'd say the Bentley is the best here : one of the best interiors on the market (for me), very luxurious, high quality materials and finishes, very practical since you can have 3 passengers comfortably sat and still have room for luggages. And still, the V8 or the W12 allows the Bentley to be a really sporty and fun car to drive. However, I am obsessed with the Roma. Ferrari did a really good job on this one. I think it perfectly embodies Ferrari's DNA : pure italian elegance, great looking and very sporty car. The sound of the V8 is pure music to the ear and the interior looks as elegant as the exterior. It would be really hard for me to choose between the two since they are both among my favorite cars ever.

@@kalmansandor5930 Edit:he deleted his comments. Because in many cases, what used to take 1 button press or turn of a knob now needs to be navigated to through various menus and tabs. That in of itself can be dangerous especially if you need to divert your attention to see if your inputs were correct. The Germans are starting to realize this and have started adding buttons back in or at the very least shortcuts via presets programmed to a physical button/switch. Examples being physical controls being added back on for Audi e-tron GT or the M1/2 and RS1/RS2 on high-end BMWs and Audis. Screens aren't bad but moderation is key in both design and life. How badly do you think those 2/3rd dashes in MBs will age? A screen has a dead pixel or burn-in? You gotta live with that for the next couple of years now or replace the entire unit. It's why smartwatches will never replace a precision made automatic. The value doesn't come from the function necessarily. It comes from how much thought and care was put into crafting said thing that gives it character. I'd rather have something that does it's one job extremely well rather than something that tries to do 5 at a passable level.

Completely agree with your analysis of these 3 wonderful cars. Bentley for that trip to the south of France but Ferrari for the roads you were on or through the alps to Italy. Beautiful exterior AND interior. Aston - you need to make the interior worthy of that gorgeous exterior. Totality agree with your comments on buttons v screens. The mantra for displays and controls seems to be "We can so we will" with little regard for actual functionality. Not related to these cars - but same thing outside - I don't want my lights to do dances for me, Their purpose is to see and be seen and to signal your intentions to other drivers (and pedestrians)- But then, most drivers seem to have forgotten what indicators are for these days! Pet hate - the number of drivers who appear to be unaware that half their lights are not working!

Why would you want to compromise on interior paying big bucks for that car.The Bently is probably best all rounder GT.May not be dynamic as Aston or Ferrari but it's plush and is comfortable for a 6 hr road trip.Interior is of top quality.

Those seats and the fast steering on the Roma would tire very quickly on a long trip so its not the full GT in my book. Bentley is the only full GT out of the 3. You'd get out the Bentley after 1000km feeling as fresh as you got in....could you say that of the AM or Roma?

For true Grand Touring, the Bentley is the only real choice as it was designed to be a GT from the ground up. The A/M and Ferrari lean more towards sports cars due to their better handling dynamics and, of course, engine note (and lack of a usable back seat). If you want a 'cross-over' GT/sports car, one designed to do double duty, then the A/M and Ferrari do the job. By the time you get down the Roma, the back seat is more of a 'suggestion' more suitable for luggage and whatever the owner just bought at Gucci and Neiman-Marcus. The Portofino might have been a better choice for touring comparisons.

If I was going on a Grand Tour, I’d have to take the Bentley. A blissfully smooth journey, arriving as refreshed as when I set off. The other two, would bring out the hooligan in me and I’d end up the wrong side of the law and, no doubt, only manage to travel for a small part of the Tour before attracting the attention of the local law enforcement officers!

Of all the review type channels I`ve looked at (and there's been a few) this was very good. I knew the outcome of `best car` in the order you gave and I`m sure those of us who look at these vids did too but the practical advice was great. Your personal choice of the Aston Martin threw me because I`ve heard such negative reviews of the car but still always wanted one. Now I just need to find the money.....

Can I just say though...I know that the driving experience is the most important factor given 90% of the time there'll only be one person in the car, but as a car lover and particularly 4 seat Italian exotica...I want to see in the back...even if the seats are tiny, they make up part of the car, and especially in the Ferrari, they are a selling point.

I test drove all three and purchased a Bentley Mulliner GTC V8. Just got better and better. easily the best interior with so many features. Bends didn't exist with the 4 wheel drive computer assist etc. Grand touring exemplified. Aston was like a ford inside but looked good, harder to drive but fun! Ferrari, wife didn't like the driving position and it sort of felt small inside for a 'grand tourer' more like a sports saloon, but very precise. (How many will I upset lol - my opinion only) All great cars!

Let’s not be silly here folks. The Roma is gorgeous but got design ques from the AM, Although I’m a fan of the old gen Astons, the newer ones look good too but the interior lacks. But the Bentley is and will always be the most complete package here. And the road presence that these things has is unmatched. It’s a tank! It’s LEAGUES above those two, GT cars are about luxury and comfort as well not just sporty. And if you want to go over 200 mph Bentley has that too 🤷. Sorry folks not much competition here. Bentley is the top GT here easily.

Cause the Roma was designed to be their entry level car with mass appeal and to cater to said appeal, it needed to integrate what would be considered industry-standard tech. Pretty sure the exterior designer had no say. Was probably an afterthought to be honest. It looks low tech cause Ferrari doesn't throw much money into infortainment R&D (if any) and it most likely is not a proprietary unit. Cars are also subject to all sorts of shocks and temperature extremes so they probably needed a very durable unit.

As someone who had a commute by car of 90 minutes 1 way every day; who road tripped from the east coast to the west coast and back, and from north to south in both coasts; I have to say that Bentley does it for me. The Roma is too uncomfortable and requires more attention. The Aston is just a comfier Roma. But the Bentley, oh boy, it made the travel experience immersive, it made cruising easy, and my body felt OK. Mileage is an issue, too many gas stops, and the air conditioning stopped working at some point. So reliability is a factor with these tourers.

Once you accept that, it’s not too much of a leap to accept that in your dreams you can own not one but two or even three GT cars.
