Not sure if this has been posted before but as an Autocar subscriber I got this mail a couple of weeks ago. Thought it may be of interest around here.

I took a friend at work for a drive in my 215 a few weeks ago. Recently ex-Bentley chassis engineer. His opinion was that the 215's ride & handling, and interior quality (also ex door trim engineer) were far, far ahead of anything Bentley had not only at the time, but up until he left them.

Excellent review, he has understood the point of the beast. It's a bit of a Q car really, for grown ups, rather than the "in your face I've got a Bentley"
