Only an idiot with more money than sense buys a Bentley brand new. They don't depreciate that fast, but they're also extremely hardy long lasting cars, so you can happily buy a ten year old Bentley and expect it to last ten more, given the right level of care. I waited quite a while and shopped around before buying my Bentley Brooklands. I'd seen another one a year before but it didn't seem to have been cared for that well, and even a Bentley can suffer if neglected.
It's surprising how easy it is to manoeuvre the Bentley Brooklands too, I mean given its size. The seating position has a lot to do with it, and the windows are a very generous size, very clear visibility all round. Getting it into spaces can be a bit tricky, just make sure you're not parked next to other big cars.
The paperwork says 15 miles per gallon but I think I get a touch more than that. I am very careful with it though. On occasion you do have to test it out and put your foot down. The result is extremely rewarding and the Bentley Brooklands has immense power from the V8 when it's needed, but you have to keep this to a minimum unless you've got money to quite literally burn on fuel.
The biggest disappointment for some drivers will be the boot. A lot of space back there is taken up with internal gubbins, I think the petrol tank and things. The cabin itself is extremely spacious, but the boot suffers somewhat as a result. I wouldn't say it's pokey, but nor is it quite the cavern you might expect after seeing the rest of the car.
