A Bentley's value comes almost entirely from the fact that it is very good, very powerful and that some poor fellow had to spend a whole day just to sew up the steering wheel. All that and, of course, that it's a Bentley.
Sadly, my only complaints about the GTC come from what little technology there is. Sonar sensors in the front and back bumpers sound a chirp anytime you get close to anything. That's a good thing. Those fenders are expensive.
Unfortunately, there's nothing to tell you which corner of the car is getting too close. As I drove through toll booths and narrow gates it was hard to guess which way I should turn the steering to avoid - or invite - disaster.
The navigation system, had someone from Bentley not been kind enough to explain it to me, would have remained a complete mystery. I'm bad with directions,by the way, but I'm no technophobe. I've managed to puzzle out destination entry on many lesser cars.
In the end, though, the GTC proves its worth where it counts: on the road, whether in the Bentley's cockpit or that of a car you're passing, it really is beautiful automobile.
