My favorite part of any Bentley are its seats. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@Pr0crustesify]

9:30 ''..the only thing this car is missing is fun." 11:37 "I'm having too much fun , I've left a photographer behind..." . Right.

[@chrissorreda4982]

Willem Oldewage It's almost as if he meant that relatively! /sarcasm

[@richard7STI]

Love your evo Diaries! Keep up the good work:D

[@TheAslakVind]

Harry Metcalfe, I really admire your enthusiasm. Love your work! Thank you!

[@hotstixx]

love these kind of low key reviews..much more intimate with the car,much more feel.

[@SamRommer]

Great Evo review as always. great to get so close to a car and see what it's really like. top marks!

[@PaulGreyhead]

Love Harry's videos. More please!

[@scotia1973]

love love love these vids please keep them coming,harry is the man.

[@farazazhar1]

Awesome Video ... Spain is a very nice place in winters ...

[@cookiecat168]

Feel like I have just been to Spain and experienced the Bentley first hand. My goodness what an incredible experience it was. It was snowing. I saw the beautiful beaches. And I heard a lovely V8 soundtrack. Actually, I fell in love. To those who disliked the video.. haters gonna hate. But with Harry Metcalfe presenting, you will always be greatly outnumbered.

[@ThePhan7em]

I love these types of videos, and Harry is such and awesome guy.

[@socalpimp1974]

another incredible video...tough conditions though. San Diego CA doesn't have that weather!!

[@DriveAway2Day]

I love the way the top folds

[@YouSoldMe]

lol i love this guy, "you have reached your destination" "thank you very much dear you've been a great help"

[@slabsides1]

Very good video. I've been waiting for a full work up on this car. Thanks. If I could only have one car this probably be it.

[@AttaboyIII]

"Thank you very much dear, youve been a great help" to the satnav... love it :P

[@fa51but]

What a brilliant review!!!

[@121Ruskiy]

Great video, thanks Harry!

[@pksangavaram]

this is amazing. a road test, in the snow.

[@sendark001]

Hey harry, love you vids. You were in San Sebastian, and yeah, it snows nearly every year in spain! it's not all Costa-Del-Sol! cheers man

[@josteinholen1312]

Evo Diaries was the best!

[@gizsno]

Awesome review. Thank you.

[@nitinoctane]

clicking on 'show the comment' again n again is so much fun !

[@damnbdboy]

This guy kills it. His reviews are more concerned about everyday stuff. Way better than talking about horsepower and noise 24/7 like Jeremy...

[@VennyCardenas]

Excellent work

[@Kev199117]

Great review

[@TheKizzyfish]

A other top video Harry!! This is what we want!!

[@correzzana1992]

I would have preferred a test of the coupé version! But that's still awesome, I just love this evo's diaries. Great job harry ;D

[@weed46]

These videos are SO DAMN GOOOOD!

[@grimfandango2006]

great review - harry's my favourite

[@Tunerboy8732]

This is why I subbed to EVO.

[@adamhague2097]

Great review Harry.

[@kike-Z]

Harry, first of all congratulations for your work!! Spain is not just sun, sea, sand.... Spain is home to almost 1000 kilometres of ski runs and 36 resorts!!!!!

[@1pairfatchopsticks]

Lov that interior! Absolutely top shelf!

[@craiglington]

Another great, honest and insightful video, Harry. About time we get a 'Harry Gear' show on t' tele box don't you think?

[@jigrodrigues]

I just wish Harry made a review in my old Astra :D He makes all cars look cool when he reviews them!! Mr. Harry Metcalfe is the Man!

[@FeintMotion]

Thank you very much, dear. You've been a great help.

[@Selnoric]

I love harry metcalfe, he's just one of the best!

[@math_you]

GLORIOUS NOISE.

[@Ivannos92]

about time harry!

[@adampetten5349]

Great review and car Harry.

[@tylerhell]

I love your videos.

[@ONEILLisLOCO1119]

snowing with top down ... cool

[@SwPiotrek]

Very good review.

[@Eliano55]

Not on snow tires ?! WOW love this car even more!

[@R21654A]

i love how he says were not expecting snow in february....

[@Owns94n]

love the sound of the twin turbo V8.......Bentleys always sound nice

[@rax989]

Harry you rule! Keep it coming!

[@Bolerophon]

Roof opens up and it's like WOOOW.. :P

[@ragzr9838]

That V8 sounds awesome !

[@Ffrozen12]

Love Harry!

[@ununoctiu]

You should have come to Portugal...beautiful sun shinning! =p

[@on2a]

Great review as usual. That lorry comment was jokes. More pls!

[@TheEryk03]

What a sound! Great car!

[@dirty50000]

great review, thats just the way it has to be - a man and a car and their journey together

[@skew613]

sounds sooooo good

[@Chris_Styles]

Nice! a V8 version of the GTC

[@DreamCarGarage1]

What kind of camera or camera mount are you using to video yourself? Thanks. DreamCarGarage1

[@ivajlkvd]

i like this type of review

[@AnonymoussourceL0L]

Nasty as in menacing. I think it sounds awesome!

[@FROOB202]

Well you stated one other factor there with "production methods". There are also materials used to make the engine (IE cast iron vs aluminium for example), turbo/superchargers, type of transmission (dual clutch vs manual for example).

[@TwistedMusic1989]

I didn't like Bentleys untill this precise moment. This was a great review! Thanks Harry

[@Kassiusday]

But Bentley did like you ….

[@Bret3030]

We Love You Harry

[@druco77]

You came in the coldest week of the year to the coldest area of Spain. I am right now in Madrid and it's sunny with around 18ºC...

[@GuhbsBeats]

Driven a Continental Gt and it feels like 40mph when doing 100mph. It's fantastic.

[@bascoland]

This is "Hotel Marquès de Riscal", situated in the city named Elciego. In the North of Spain, province of Alava. The architect is Frank Gerhy (Guggenheim of Bilbao...)

[@rmark1986]

Iam a proud Bently owner..........love it.....finally

[@robertceeisblazin]

love the way he just rips the engine cover off haha

[@Apehjan818]

The mpg on the Bently is awesome my sister's 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S gets 19 mpg

[@TiagoHikaru]

Beautiful car! You're so lucky!

[@flamesfromblazer]

Harry's delivery of his words is very similar to that of Rick Stein. . -they should team up and do a mini series driving great cars to great food locations and call it ' Cars'n' Cookin' or something like that. . Really enjoyable reviews these are. . .

[@alexserrano2850]

That´s the north. What you can see in the video is the city of San Sebastián in the Basque Country.

[@davidd6635]

Thank you Alex. Was wondering where all this was.

[@CJAEY]

What a nice car to look at. I am not too big on luxury cars but you couldn't go wrong

[@jamiebudamlanbert172]

Lancer Evolution X : medium traction 0.8-0.85g, tail flick, slide, 20-100 l/100km, over 100 l/100km. End report. From Lancer Evolution X database

[@stevenjr6582]

Not quite that extreme but can do 20-30l easy,only a race spec manages between 50-70l/100km

[@494Ibrahim]

W12 are what give German engineers orgasms, I think for what really ought to be a British GT a V8 is more appropriate. Even the flagship Mulsanne used a V8, although to a different effect.

[@MrScuderia16]

He said thank you to the GPS Woman 6:23 .Great reviewer, Great Car!!

[@Fertro]

11:28 - That noise made my jaw literally drop.

[@AndyMaikel]

Can you pls tell me which device you are filming? Thank you in advance.

[@samanferrari]

What is that place??? looks amazing

[@tjon901]

Harry is the man.

[@Lolzilol123]

It's a bit silly, but I was pretty surprised when at about 0:30 when Metcalfe steps to our right out of the camera and then steps in again from the left :D

[@3brosRCSam]

6:24 hahahahaah!!!! GPS, "you have reached your destination." Harry, "thank you very much dear..."

[@Wolf__3]

I'm getting this car!

[@4dshow]

I thought I'd only like Chris Harris as a reviewer, but I really enjoyed this video by the big boss man himself.

[@justnotcricket]

Gracias :)

[@f1errar1]

fantastic looking car

[@tusambolo]

One day hopefully soon I will own one just like that

[@Atombender]

6:28 wow that's crazy architecture.

[@Mystyfication]

This isn't a rival to any california of gran cabrio or dbs volante or whatever else. It's just in a class of it's own - big luxury car for giving you a royal lift to any place with a majestic sound. That's just it

[@wekker090]

@ATBullittChannel thx you are right, I forgot about the UK gallon.

[@kris4733]

it's only like the 20th time I'm watching this :D

[@FROOB202]

The current Continental W12 is 2320 KG and the V8 is 2295 KG. Therefore, the difference is 25 KG. I can't find any Continentals weighing over 2600 KG. The heaviest I can find is the Continental GTC W12, which weighs 2485 KG. The second heaviest is the Continental GTC V8, which weighs 2470 KG, representing a 15 KG difference between V8 and W12 (even less than in GT form).

[@venom5809]

I love Harry's reviews. I think the V8 is better also. My favorite part is when he ripped off the engine cover. lol

[@BlackenedNL]

pretty nice ride

[@ViveSemelBeneVivere]

Two and a half ton of weight is massive, even moreso for a convertible. Bentley should seriously consider using a lot more aluminium as was done for the new Ranger Rover which shed a whopping 400+ kilograms from the previous model. That V8 sounds really nice.

[@emacemacii]

As a sidenote, 'Gallon' mentioned by Harry and the Bentley here is Imperial Gallon. 1 Imperial Gallon = 1.2 US Gallon.

[@Bhangu23]

chris harris did a review on the brx/frs/gt86, can henry do one too?

[@ViveSemelBeneVivere]

Cool looking hotel!

[@Antilagmike]

good stuff

[@ATBullitt]

19.2 mpg, I think thats round about 15 l/km. Thats not too bad for a 2.5t AWD car with this power. Very good review, it was really fun to watch :)

[@Kassiusday]

You mean 15 litres /100 km which is not too bad …. Indeed , I wd prefer to pay more fuel to have a Bentley than a fiat or a Prius …..tbh
