2003 Bentley Continental Review

　　

zzdcar' Expert Review

What’s new

　　After a slight restyle in 1998, the Continental has remained largely unchanged -- just the way Bentley customers like it. Minor cosmetic enhancements include restyled bumpers with massive air intakes, and a slightly revised grille. For 2003 Bentley adds a cosmetic Final Series edition to the R Mulliner model. The standard Continental R as well as the Le Mans and T styles have been dropped for 2003.

　　

zzdcar says

　　A stylish and exclusive coupe, the Continental has tons of power and luxury, but there are better ways to spend hard-earned cash.
