Hi all,
I'm new to all things Bentley but seriously considering a 2010 GTC.
Currently have a 5.0 V8 Range Rover Autobiography which is an awesome car but I fancy going back to something sporty (and soft top).
Previously I have had Mercs and Porsches but I got the RR after having an Aston DB9 so I am used to the pain of servicing costs, lousy MPG etc!
I will be doing around 10k miles per year, mostly motorways.
A couple of questions if anyone can help -
Any possible issues I should look out for on the 2010 MY?
Have heard a few comments about battery life. I won't be using the car daily but every 7 days or so - will this be an issue?
And lastly, how do other road users perceive people in a Bentley GTC? I found that people had a lot of respect for the Aston but RR and Porsche drivers much less so. Are you perceived as some sort of 'flash Harry' or more someone with good taste who drives a strong British brand. I think of the latter!
Thanks in advance.
