The Bentley Continental is a true sports tourer. It's very capable, but it feels better in fast cruising than charging around hairpin turns. Its two-and-a-half ton weight makes it feel heavy in spite of a sophisticated suspension that prevents it from ever feeling unwieldy. With power from its 552-horsepower going to all four of its big wheels it reels in the road at an amazing rate. Even without the optional wind baffle in place behind the front seats, wind noise with the top down and windows up is minimal even at high speeds. Steering feel is just right. The big leather covered wheel communicates enough to let you feel complete control without nagging you with the annoying details of the road surface.
