I'm writing this to counter the professional reviews for this car. This is without doubt a stunning sports/supercar. Hand made and British, yes it's expensive (anything would be made of this quality) but it's not 'incredibly expensive ' deserving of 1 star only. It's residual value is excellent and the V12 is super reliable. I also take issue with one of the 'cons', i.e. The ride and suspension is on the firm side.... last time I checked, this is a sports car and as such requires a firm suspension for roadholding that massive V12 power. It's ride is SUPERB, not jaw breaking or harsh, but firm enough for that super precise steering to joyously put the car around any bend with panache and poise. Truly a Bentley with (massive) attitude, is a great way to describe it. It is a triumph of British engineering in every way. So infuriating that these so called 'expert' journalists so often omit from their reviews, what is definitely one of the greatest marques of our time. Do yourselves a favour and watch one of Top Gears most iconic reviews on this car. For Clarkson to be rendered almost speechless throughout, is indicative of how overwhelmed he was by this driving experience. And if you don't like Clarkson (as many don't) then check out Jason Cammisa's reviews (YouTube) and many others. Even the outstanding DB11 doesn't get a mention! Disgraceful!

Amazing vehicle. I can't imagine at present what I could replace this with. Lightweight seats are very comfortabel for longer journeys and can be adjusted more than I thought. Can be a little heavy on fuel when the loud pedal is used regularly, but you expect that.
