Should I replace 2017 SS with 2022 GT Speed?

I have been enjoying my 2017 SS for about 3 years now and besides some rather minor issues I have been happy with this car. It’s fast, it has a good sound coming from its akrapovic titanium exhaust, I love the design and on top of this it’s rather a special car being a limited edition.

However, I am starting to really like the 3rd gen Speed, and thinking about replacing the SS with it. In the long term, the SS is probably a more special car and in some years might retain higher value, but I don’t care about that, as a car is never an investment for me.

I have never driven the 3rd gen, so can’t say how much better it really is, but opinion wise, it’s 50/50, I am surprised how many people actually prefer older 2nd gen models, instead of newer ones.

So, Bentley enthusiasts, help me please to decide on this one. Keep the SS or get the 21/22 GT Speed with W12?

thinking seriously about my first bentley

im in denver and seeing there are a lot of bentley owners here so i wanted some straight talk before pulling the trigger. recently stopped by bentley denver and test drove both the continental gt and the bentayga back to back.

the dealer proposed 5.9 percent financing on a 60 month term with a strong trade in on my current luxury sedan plus two years of free service. financially im solid at 230k annual income almost zero debt and a big down payment saved so the monthly would be very comfortable.

bentayga owners in colorado hows the real world fuel economy and air suspension holding up on highways plus light mountain trails? and continental gt owners what are your actual yearly maintenance costs after the free service ends?

thanks heaps for the real talk guys

Hi Everyone

We’d really appreciate your honest opinion on something we’ve been working on as just two people, and it’s actually our first business.

It’s a small collection of luxury car keychains designed for people who like clean design, quality materials, and a premium feel in everyday details.

The idea is to take something as simple as car keys and turn it into a more personal, stylish accessory. The focus is on minimalism, durability, and that subtle luxury touch—nothing flashy, just well-made pieces that feel right in your hand.

This started because we couldn’t really find keychains that felt genuinely premium or matched what we were looking for, so we decided to create something different ourselves.

Any feedback, thoughts, or suggestions would mean a lot to us. What do you guys think? Would you buy it?

Thanks for taking a look 🙌

It’s been over 3 years but I’m happy to say we pulled over 700hp around 6 months ago. I’ll reply with data sheets soon.

Spotted this beautiful Continental GT in China

I wasn't driving, and the dual plate is pretty common here because of the laws of Hong Kong and China
