Guyz i need help, my dad is thinking about buying a new car (he currently has the 2003-S600) and hes thinking about the S65 or the flying spur, he says its a "bentley" but hes also looking for class and luxurious, Is the S65 a rare car? are there limited models made? need help !!

 

S65 is a more sporty car than the FS ... speedwise the S65 is quicker ... but the FS is no slouch.

FS is super luxurious inside and the quality feel is in almost every detail - the S65 is nice inside but the materials and appointments are more functional than luxrious in my opinion - but still very nice inside.

I see the FS as a older mans car and the S65 as a slightly younger target market.

Tough choice... if he has not had a Bentley before - I would say Bentley - if he has had one before then I would say S65

If he likes givin' it some gas then the S65 - if he potters around then the FS.

 

Both cars are nice but if he wants to lose 100k in the first 2 years of ownership get the Benz. Been there done that. The 65's are awesome but the depreciation is insane.

 

I've seen both on the roads around NJ...


see a S65..--->
see a Bentley FS--->


IMO there is NO serious consideration between the two, hands down Bentley...you wont take a HUGE hit as with the 65...you wont have a car that to the normal joe looks like any other new S...and you have probably one of the most luxurious cars for the price tag

or as Jim Jones would say...

"Talk a buck 80 If the bentley is the topic"

 

i don't know wtf is this guy talking about s 65 looks much better outside , i think chrysler 300c looks better than bentley , its so not muscular , im not trying to defend a benz but for me bentley is like lincoln town car , i would never buy it , the interior looks too English for me , i don't know i work near a lot of businesess and bunch of gt's and sp's are there and it doesnt show too much attention at all liek maserati would , s65 looks awesome with the amg bodykit , and big rims and when you sit inside its like a spaceship so stylish , he should deff test drive both cars and it's rare as **** and for the people who's saying O it lost so much money for two years , thats because the new s and cl came out , sl lost 50 000 for two years wich is not that bad at all for an exotic car and it will keep this price for few more years i would get either the Maserati or the s65

 

Two very different cars. I was able to drive both the Flying Spur and the Continental GT last year and I have also driven the S550 although not the new 600 or 65AMG. Overall I wasn't blown away by the Bentleys. They are very nice looking inside, and I liked the sedan better than the coupe, but I still think that a W221 S-Class is a much better car. Also I think the technology in the S-Class is second to none and even though its the most advanced, its also easy to use.

It also depends what kind of guy and what kind of business your father is in. A Bentley will attract more attention than the S65, and that can be good or bad depending on what his intentions are. Where you live of course will determine how much attention the car gets as well.

 

Oh one more thing...the cool thing about buying a Bentley is if he orders the car, you can really personalize the car any way you want. Mercedes will not allow you to do this.

 

ofcoarse the Flying Spur , consider also the new Automatic Maserati Quattroporte or even with the cambiocorsa Trans . but I think the Auto will be fine for you

 

Everything depends on what you expect. Both are very luxurious, Benz is more sophisticated and Bentley is more classic. It's difficult to choose between the two because only few have the opportunity to drive a Bentley. If you get the Bentley, you would sacrifice the technologies that Benz has. Overall, I would choose the Benz because it has class and also advanced technologies. That's just my opinion.

 

S 65 !! D**m HOT !!

 

Bentley Flying Spur, is a very nice car, engineered & designed well and its also very limited in numbers & so if U get one U'll stand out in the croud..but Merc is no different, its a king in its class & most advanced is all aspects..S65 is very powerful too..hence my option goes for the S-class at any time..

 

For your personal enjoyment= S65
For everyone else's enjoyment= Bentley

I've driven the Continental GT and was astounded with how boring it was. Heavy, lumbering, complete lack of personality. I'd take my Mom's mini cooper over it for driving experience.

Then of course there's your wallet you have to worry about. How about this? Get the Bentley first, see if it fits your lifestyle. If things don't work out, you can always swap it for an S65. Bents don't depreciate too steeply, AMG's do.

 

Wow!! tough decision...we recently had the pleasure of working on both w221 chasis and a Flying spur on the same day. The tech says he gets more looks from younger girls in the w221 vs. more mature women in the Spur.















PS: And by the way, we do tuning for Bentleys too!!

 

wow benz looks so sporty comparing to the bentley , i'd never take bentley , i would go already for maybach 57 s or the maserati

 

The S65 looks better than the Bentley.

 

in pictures but not in real life. s65 although a great car ,the regular joe can have an s550 with the sport package and nobody on earth can tell them appart "except those who know". i have had the oppurtunity to drive both. s65 is a killer car with a bad as engine and tech,love the way the seats and suspension works but for that type of money the flying spur gives you some type of swager when you are in and walking away from the car that cannot be match by any benz. leather so soft and gauges that just look expensive. i stay in miami and benz's are just regular cars down here. every body and they moma has got them. from c 240 to certified preowned, dawged out s classes, prices ranging from 5k to 30k making the regular person who has a few dollars fell like they somebody. bentley has great performance, smooth, quiet and has that wow factor. pictures do not do the car justice.

 

s65 crushes flying spur eos

 

I mean like honestly i dont know what to think, im going crazy!!!! i want a car for myself now.......but i dont know what to get "E-55 is changing the shape" S class is too common, the new CL is faked out like crazy, so many posers!! CLS is
too common too...S8 is looking pretty hot with that gallardo engine, M6 looking hot too....omg im just ranting so much....wtf am i gonna do...guyz help me out! btw my dad chose the bentley !! ill post pics in a bit!!!

 

the new cl faked out like crazy ? yo go buy m6 , cl - amg is the best looking car on the market you geek . Waaaaaaaaaaaaaat u got me heated

 

dude CL just came out, Also AMG packages were just body kits, Now the whole package arrived and every1 is faking it, especially with the 63's... I was thinking of an M6, but i hate 2 door cars... Im more of an S-class person, i like Style with
speed...btw is the S-65 AMG the fastest 4 door car in the world?

 

I think the correct description should be "the quickest 4 door".
It still has that 155mph limiter after all...

 

I hate the fact that it looks like a old mans car, or some rappers dream ride, the MERCEDES looks insane, it looks as if its moving while its standing still. Love the new s class body. Hey cylinder head whats your take on this. loll

 

now i got to convince my dad to buy me an S-65 lol....god im like so in love with that car, problem is im only 17, and what car am i gonna get after that lol...

 

get a helicopter after , lol 17 and into 4 door cars i dunno dude ???? lol what are you doing on weekends ? playing golf ? ahahhahaah , nuh but s65 is the quickest , and the hottest looking sedan , cl65 is the hottest coupe on the market , with the best looking interior ever anyone made , you have to get in designo mystic white with white interior and black maple wood and the enterntainment package with tv's in the headrests =P

 

lol you cracking a joke? ...Ive always loved 4 door cars, due to the fact of it being relaxing and just plain easy, im not a speed freak but at the same time i do like it, down here traffic is a *****, so cruise control has got my back for life, with massaging seats. I mean atm my s600 is kinda dying on me, i feel like the engine is bout to fall off... and im trying to convince my dad to get me a S65..., btw what is the price range for S65 & CL65?
