Easy....the Bentley. I've been working for Bentley service and sales for 9 years. I've had a few DB9's on the showroom that I've driven. Didn't like them at all.

unpollo2 is an unknown quantity at this point
bentley is faster than the DB9 in acceleration and top speed

it is much heavier so it handles slightly less crisp but the all wheel drive make up for it

check the slalom times on the bentley vs the db9... not bad for a car that has 1500 more pounds

Please excuse these guys Brandi, they've been locked up for a few years and their parole office is really strict about letting them leave the house.

If reliability is most important, Bentley for sure.

If you were thinking with your heart you'd pick the DB9. It's so much more appealing, sounds wonderful, will likely be much more fun, and is so much better looking than the Bentley that the Continental GT doesn't deserve to be in the same universe at it.

But unfortunately you're thinking with your head and asking which is the most reliable, and to answer that, you'd almost definitely have to say the Bentley.
