[@andresbustoss]

Not gonna lie, i would love if you talked more about audio sistems on the cars you drive. I think its important. Thank you

[@randomdude4304]

Especially in the convertibles

[@MilesPerHr]

Fair point, it's just hard to talk audio when almost any music I play is going to have royalties attached to it. I live on the ad revenue from these videos, so having to share it with record labels isn't great. I'll try to think of a workaround

[@JadedsoFaded]

@@MilesPerHrthe topher plays some non copyright music when he reviews the sound system i believe

[@Akritides-savvas]

​@@MilesPerHru could find a local artist ,sure there is an musician on the subscribers side u can ask them to make some songs specific for u go to have just for audio reviews just like Flossy Carter did for his audio reviews on the phones,neffex are also copyright free

[@reggyelizer8126]

@@MilesPerHrthe elements of each review are pretty consistent, so you could probably get away with having just a single royalty free song that you test in every car, or perhaps up to three different songs to test the three frequency groups of a song (a song for the highs, a song for the mids, and a song for the lows)

[@captainairbus3215]

This is why I like Milesperhr reviews. He is reviewing the cars as daily driving cars and testing them for different occasions. Other reviewers just do a couple of launches and base their reviews on just that. Milespehr reviews are the ones to go to if you are planning to buy a new car/ Greetings from Greece 👍

[@aleksei8884]

The Bentley continental will always be up there for me, such a sick car

Was nice seeing you at work 😅 and also Bob

😂 I'm overdue for another visit!

[@simeoncrolla3008]

The B mode next to comfort and sport softens the suspension and acceleration. It would have felt much smoother with it on. Also the cold start would have been much louder if sport was turned on, but because it was in B it makes the car quieter.

[@yahyalmam9717]

Thats a beautiful car

[@jpl8878]

On your final thoughts: rear seats not being usable is characteristic of every car in this class except the Spectre you tested recently. And that's the same size as the long-wheelbase-only i7. Everything else is a 2+2, not a 4 seater - with the possible exception of the new Maserati Grancabrio (which might be more to your liking stylistically). Fair point on the non-sliding sun visors; they're hit or miss - the Spectre's don't slide either AFAIK. The doors are long because the car is long - same with every GT except maybe the Ferrari Roma. The struts help with that as you noted early on. On the paint and chrome, you can get any color you want, and the chrome can be changed to black. As for the soft top, every grand touring convertible has a soft top. If you don't like the color, Bentley offers a number of colors, and tweed as well. It seems like you don't like the underlying design of the car, which is fair. Bentley's styling isn't for everyone. It's your video, you're entitled to your opinion, and you don't have to like every car. But apart from the styling your gripes weren't really unique to the Bentley. You've driven the Rolls Royce Dawn, Aston Martin DB11 Volante, Mercedes SL, BMW 6 series, Lexus LC500, and Porsche 911 convertibles. You know they all share most of the gripes you had about the Bentley. Sorry if this comes across as overly harsh. I like your videos and the casual nature and humor you interject. It's just that it seems more like the class of car isn't for you rather than this specific car - which is fine, but not quite what you said.

[@jonathankenton2502]

You and your wife are extremely pleasant to watch, great chemistry. Nice to see married couples who genuinely love each other. All the best!🙏🏾

Hey miles i really like this style but i liked the regular reviews too, maybe you can do some of them too?

[@MilesPerHr]

I'll still have the "regular" format in my First Drives, but I'm really trying to perfect these "day in the life" videos, because I'm having fun making them and I try to integrate the best pieces of my regular reviews in them. Thanks for understanding!

[@dailycruise8550]

It’s funny because when it’s 59 degrees out here in PA everyone is walking around in shorts and a tshirt. In California it’s considered chilly.

[@MilesPerHr]

I lived in MA for many years and did the same thing (shorts in high 50s). My blood has definitely thinned back out in CA, and we don't get any humidity to insulate.

[@AbdussalamMisbahudeen]

Bentley is one of the prestige luxury cars that you never buy new. Always lease or buy pre-owned with a warranty.

[@djshadow876]

So sportestigious

[@stalinisntproud.7412]

I don't like the fact that they don't offer a hard top option even at that price and being a luxury vehicle

[@jpl8878]

2+2 hard top convertibles don't exist anymore. They're all soft tops - including the recently discontinued Rolls Royce Dawn. The last holdout was Ferrari, but they replaced the hard top Portofino with the soft top Roma. Manufacturers decided that the complexity, engineering expense, weight, and packaging constraints of hard tops just weren't worth it. There's little - if any - objective benefit to hard tops. Modern soft tops give you nearly all the benefits without many of the drawbacks.

[@stalinisntproud.7412]

@@jpl8878 Currently I can only think of Mazda that offers hard-top convertibles

Beautiful car but that color scheme is rough. A nice emerald green on the outside would match better with the inside leather.

[@jacobbio]

Green with red interior is weird to me.

[@samsharma9207]

@@jacobbio This isn't really a red though so much as closer to burgundy and emerald green is much darker than a regular green. Google a few examples - I saw one at the Atlanta Bentley dealer that looked amazing.
