I'm seriously considering the 2019 Bentley Continental GT. It looks great in comparison to prior versions. Are there any RFDers who have owned prior versions, willing to comment on them? Reliability? Gas consumption, etc. I've had Mercedes, Lexus, Audi & Range Rover in the past, but never a car north of $250K. Thanks for any feedback.

Nice flex.

Have you considered a beige Toyota Corolla? I give it a perfect 5/7.

I mean it's an alright commuter car if you're on a budget. Save up a little more and get something more exciting.

You can easy get 10% below invoice.
Reliability is as good as a VW. Who cares about fuel economy just put regular 87 and call it a day.

People spending north of $250k for a car generally don’t worry about gas consumption...

This is precisely why I feel this entire thread is a troll thread.

I don't think I've ever thought about fuel mileage for my R8. It's like someone who owns a 15 million dollar home and wondering what the cost of a 60W led light bulb is.

I get that we all like to save money, but bringing up fuel economy and a quarter of a million $ car is ridiculous.
