Aside from his knowledge and great real world tests, he has a personality that makes him instantly likeable and easy to listen to. TV car shows are pretty much dead at this point.

i like how in your reviews, you're neutral, ( without all the excess hype around the fact it's "luxury" & "expensive") you review it as a normal car , it's very refreshing & nice, because when you do own or use one, the hype goes away & what stays is the basics which is what you look for in your reviews 👍🏻 thanks

I enjoyed this video, thank you Harry. I’m impressed that Bentley gave it to you to try off-road. So full marks to them for not being afraid for you to try it. It was more capable on your farm than I was anticipating. I prefer the new back end myself. I really like the noise the V8 makes.

You were right to point out the carpet wheel arches....I’ve got a spec’d out Q8 whose underpinnings are pretty similar to the Bentley, and the wheel arches are a nightmare in the way that they seem to capture everything a Cotswold road has to offer.

how is the Touareg „really the trim level of a bentayga to get“ if they don’t even share their chassis? they might be on the same MLBevo platform, so they share some tech, but that’s it. period. don‘t forget the A4 B9, A5 F5, A6 C8, A7 C8, A8 D5, e-tron GE, Q5 FY, Q7 4M, Q8 4M, Urus, Cayenne 9YA and Phideon are all based on the MLBevo plattform. so you wanna say now the A4 is the cheapest version of the Bentayga just because they share a platform?

What a car. I used to go to Geneva motor show and since some while ago, I started to admire Bentleys. They started to be really nice and posh in a good way - the quality and refinement of every bit was astonishing. Even from a point of view od someone who can't afford one it's nice to admire the workmanshift invested in these machines. And I do. Very much. I don't have an ambition to own one ever but I'm really glad they exist.

Great work, Harry. The color was spot on for my taste in a Bentley.
Harry, you know that being KZreadr and a digital influencer is a job of enormous responsibility. It will suffice to think that there are people who live alone, without anyone and the only refuge they have to feel accompanied are social networks, and in particular, KZread and its favorite channels with which it establishes an emotional relationship. You fulfill this role well, in this task. You do not see unbalanced attitudes, on the contrary, you project yourself by a properly seasoned example.
