The 2010 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the fullsize sedan segment. With single trim on offer, the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Sedan has a base MSRP of $180,195 competing directly with the Rolls Royce Ghost and the Aston Martin Rapide.

Bentley offers the Continental Flying Spur Sedan in 50 stunning colors, with the Beige being a particular favorite of ours. Currently, with around 6 Bentley Continental Flying Spur available for sale, you could one for an average price of $54,447. However, one can generally expect an average savings of $1481 on good deals, making this a perfect time to browse for a 2010 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Sedan.

Buying Advice

Delivering an exhilarating performance, with a thrilled yet subtle handling, coupled with a well-appointed interior, the 2010 Bentley Flying Spur sedan is one of the best executive sedans available today in the market. Being mechanized with AWD, you won't feel any kind of loose traction on the roads, which makes the car even more stable. However, the sedan comes with some issues such as the ESC problem. Thus before buying, kindly check the issue, and if possible, get it repaired. It's a car meant to drive; thus don't relax on the rear seat, rather pedal the floor yourself.
