Thinking of buying the 2012 Bentley Continental?

Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Under the hood
The engine is the 6.0L 12-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
It is rated at 17.0 L/100 km combined, so budget about 51 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $29.75 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Living with the Continental
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA lists 311 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the Continental on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Year and trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $29.75 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $297.50 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
One more step
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
