Bentley owners make me feel so incredibly jealous. Of course, one could argue that there isn’t actually much luck about it at all – people who can afford these most luxurious of cars will have worked for it all their life, and generally will have made their millions being incredibly good at what they do. With that kind of history behind you, treating yourself to a intensely luxurious car is really just your due, and something that if you can enjoy you should make sure that you do.
But why are Bentleys quite so decadent? With all too many manufacturers, they charge as much as they want for no good reason - other than that what you drive is posh and theoretically a ostentatious status symbol. Many people, mainly people who don’t like or care about cars, would argue that pride and vanity is the only reason these cars sell. The reason is totally different with owning a Bentley. Sure, you pay lots to own one, but you get that back in luxury and craftsmanship a million times over.
To start, lets have a look at the outside of Bentleys. What used to be a hulking frame of a car is now constructed out of delicate lightweight materials, which explains the speed that such huge cars can easily reach. The really impressive thing is that these are created in huge smooth panels, which simply slot together like that is the way in which they came into the world. Any joints there are are thin and delicate, and when a line of a shape transverses panels it looks like they are all from the same initial point. All in all, the exteriors are extraordinary from the shape to the headlights and everything in between.
Of course, whilst every Bentley model is lovely on the outside, the inside is even more spectacular. Built to last, these cars look as good a few years down the line as they do straight off the press, making them a sound investment. Of course, many people also opt to buy them from a used Bentley dealer just to make an extra saving.
If you do buy one, you can expect luxury. I don’t simply mean heated seats, I mean real true luxury never seen before in an interior. Every piece of leather (leather that is officially certified flawless, I might add) is handcrafted by Bentley Milliners, from the steering wheel cover right through to the seats. Everything is stitched to perfection, meaning that no other leather seats will ever feel as sumptuous. On top of that is a 6-disc autochanger and premium wood panels.
I don’t think there is a single other car maker anywhere who makes cars like these. Noone else puts so much time and craftsman ship into every tiny element. Even better, owners of new or used Bentleys get to enjoy their status symbol in the ultimate comfort!
