The fiddly heated seats are a dealbreaker for me I'm afraid. I've decided not to sell the house after all.
Easier seat heating on its cousin the VW Up!
@@prakashnarismulu3332
More space in it's cousin the Skoda Superb
@@jimmyh6601 😅
I just wear a wool sweater, & keep a peasant in the footwell to rub my legs.
LOL
Love Harrys channel.
This guy has used his industry contacts and obvious love of cars to create probably one of the best car review channel in the world. Aside from his knowledge and great real world tests, he has a personality that makes him instantly likeable and easy to listen to. TV car shows are pretty much dead at this point. Long live Harry and his garage!😎👍
Absolutely, been following him for years. Brilliant guy.
Yes & it's good to see Harry DOESN'T abuse caffeine like Doug Demuro! 👍
Your telephone is causing that audio interference Harry.
That's it indeed! Used to have the same problem when playing on the electric guitar and the speaker, thank you.
I always think its my phone and I'm about to get a call. LOL
@@meshies Yes it is the cellphone, usually when it is in GSM. Just put in filght mode when recording.
Yes that’s it. Usually radio mics. Signal search can also cut the audio. Believe me I know to my peril working in the TV industry
@@soulstarr9589 Harry has commented he always puts his phone in Flight mode, with every review
I've only ever seen these " farmers car " in Knightsbridge.
The mere thought of one seeing a puddle, never mind mud, would make 98% of owners head for their heated garages.
Me too mate! I saw 3 in front of Harrods yesterday
You'll see them everywhere in essex
@@bzbaz9687 I have been to Essex and you are right
It’s only good for being a Chelsea tractor
The only time one of these will really go near a farm is when little Henrietta needs picking up from pony club.
lol
or when Julie the WAG picks up little LeRoy up from footie..
@@TJMack- yes, though from knowing a Premiership footballer's PA they probably can't be bothered to do that themselves either.
You don't live in the Cotswolds do you? :)
@@ianwatson4540 other side of Oxford, but the generalisation still stands I reckon ;)
I’m really disappointed the color isn’t named “British Farming Green”.
Whatever it is, I want it!
@@stewiemac4017 I hate green cars, but respect for other opinions
It isn't even British Racing Green!
@@dingopisscreek what’s the color
Wife just asked me to trim my nails and come to bed. I told her I was watching the new Harry's Garage video and I'd be there in a bit. Don't forget it's Valentine's she said with a wink. I got the hint. I told her that for a bit of romance, we can watch it together. Now's she's got the hump. I don't understand women sometimes.
😂😂🤣
I take it she did not know it was the hot V8?
and that Harry was wearing his wellies?
👍👍👍👍
Too late to make it all better with an M&S Valentines dinner I suppose?
When automotive giants like Bentley, ask you to drive their car, you know you’re doing well 🤩 best car channel on RUclips
Brave of them to offer to give you it as a farm car! Shows some degree of confidence in it off-road, at least.
i like how in your reviews, you're neutral, ( without all the excess hype around the fact it's "luxury" & "expensive") you review it as a normal car , it's very refreshing & nice, because when you do own or use one, the hype goes away & what stays is the basics which is what you look for in your reviews 👍🏻 thanks
If that's a farmer's car, either your crop is usually grown in a heated and lit loft 😉
Or your accountant is a Harry potter level numbers wizard.
Haha! You could get many 9 bars in the back of that
Lol. The poppy crop is nearly ready for harvest.
@@R-Tap haha!
How many bags of fertiliser can you fit in the back?
Or you grow marijuana?
Haha brilliant comment bryan
Harry has a knack of telling us exactly what we want to know without talking down to us, really enjoy his reviews.
I am a simple man. It is Sunday, harry is on, I watch and I am happy.
Simple and happy..perfect mix. At least we dont have to fret about never having the spare change to buy a Bentley...even if it has a towbar sod off harry you're taking the piss..also crap wading ability but at least it's got rubber seals on door bottoms so it doesn't make make a mess from you're wellies.. also very quiet on your noisy bit of road, excellent I'll have two how much are they? How much will I get from scrappage scheme for my Lamborghini?
You mobile phone is causing that noise, turning your phone off solves the problem. When I was in a band we would get the exact same sound over our super loud PA system if we left our phones on.
Rarely hear that audio interference these days. It used to be a HUGE problem on film sets. Sound dept. made literally everyone turn their phones off. Pissed off the producers.
Agree its a mobile signal interfering with Harry's recording equipment but a lot of vehicles have their own internal GSM mobile connection so may not just be Harry's mobile Best option would be to protect the recording equipment from RF interference
Flight mode!!
@@David-is1uv Agreed. We have a pet tracker with built in GSM and it causes the same noise if you leave it on near audio equipment. Not heard a phone do that for a decade so it was a bit of a flashback when it started happening.
How many nerds can you fit in a public reply to a shity car review?
When Bentley calls you to test their cars you've made it..
He has a countach and a 512 tr. I guess he already made it 🤷
He's been writing and editing EVO since 1988. He's made it a long time ago.
@@marcwanagas1234 He owned EVO. lol
Although Harry is a well respected member of the motoring press.
It is still just a Press Car.
Be it a Fiat Panda or a Bentley Bentayga
When Bentley tries to convince you that their car is good for farming, you've made it in farming.
As a ZF employee (actually testing gearboxes for VW group) I am glad to hear that you like the box 😊
Audi says gearbox oil change is never needed. Is that true?
@@shakke52nothing audi says about gearboxes is true
"Suppress the outside world." To me that's the personal philosophy of most Bentley owners (and most politicians).
It's everybody. It's just most people can only afford a pair of big headphones.
you can do that in a camry
I'm not a farmer, or a landowner, I don't have 180 grand, or even £140,000. But even with 140 quid and a window box, I'd be very happy to live with one of these (and 28mpg). Thanks, Harry.
Hey Lemma am here to help make that money you don't have in couple of few months,ask me how possible is that?
I'm a rural western Canadian who works in oil and gas, drives an F-150. Ever since I saw pics of this SUV outfitted with the fly fishing package I've been smitten, daydreaming of cruising about to the foothills streams and rivers I frequent being surrounded in all that beautiful wood and leather!
Hey man that cool you really want this car but am here to help you ask me how?
Love the videos Harry, informative, professional, very well delivered and palatable for the layman...keep up the good work Harry ! I used to work for Bentley and Aston Martin
Remember the old Rolls slogan? “The loudest sound in a Bentley going 70 mph is Harry’s mic.” ☺️ I never miss these videos or those of Harry’s farm. Thank you.
Harry, you know that being RUclipsr and a digital influencer is a job of enormous responsibility. It will suffice to think that there are people who live alone, without anyone and the only refuge they have to feel accompanied are social networks, and in particular, RUclips and its favorite channels with which it establishes an emotional relationship. You fulfill this role well, in this task. You do not see unbalanced attitudes, on the contrary, you project yourself by a properly seasoned example.
The only time you’ll see a Bentayga taken off road. Well done review, Harry.
Surely the rich kids will take it 4 wheelin. Cuz they are like trump they are ate up with IDGAF.
I enjoyed this video, thank you Harry.
I’m impressed that Bentley gave it to you to try off-road. So full marks to them for not being afraid for you to try it.
It was more capable on your farm than I was anticipating.
I prefer the new back end myself.
I really like the noise the V8 makes.
Benteyga, a car so expensive it gentrifies the grass and mud it rides on.
Right on, Issac!
Underrated comment!💯
*pinky up, adjusts monocle* Hmmm.Quite so, old chap!
First thing Harry complained about was the price and the cost of add ons.
A Harry’s garage video is one of the very few channels I genuinely don’t mind a 20 second advert in the video. Little things 😂
I love that given the farming take on this vid, Harry has put on his farmer jacket. Harry's farm indeed.
I was funnily surprised to hear Bentley describing their Bentayga as a "farm-car", and even more seeing you climb into it with dirty rubber boots. Very amusing, indeed. And what a hell of a "farm-car" this is. Beautiful.
Always enjoy a Harry’s review, one of the best unbiased review of any car. Just brings a smile to my face😄
The Bentley Bentayga V8 is the perfect Bitcoin farmer's car.
A bit of insulating tape on that light in the wireless charging pocket - works a treat.
Great review Harry.....funnily enough, this car at £180k gives me less heartburn than the Defender at £90k did.
You were right to point out the carpet wheel arches....I’ve got a spec’d out Q8 whose underpinnings are pretty similar to the Bentley, and the wheel arches are a nightmare in the way that they seem to capture everything a Cotswold road has to offer.
Perfect final summary ‘it’s a landowner’s car’ 👍
Any farmer riding around in one of these can never again complain about Brexit or subsidy decrease...:0
Anyone can complain about brexit because it‘s shit.
@@matthiaskettner6686 It's actually brilliant. But only if you value democratic sovereignty. Not your thing right? Ok, each to their own. Fortunately a majority of Brits do value it. But if we change our minds and want incompetent EU non-elected bearaucrats / dictators like Ursula telling us what to do we will come back and let you know 😉😁
@@legionnairegonk4425 when the brainwashing wears off and reality kicks in, the UK will be cap in hand at the IMF
@Joseph T. He certainly enjoys the House of Lords and Liz, I mean those were elected unlike the EU politburo, right? Oh wait, it's the other way round.
@Joseph T. We can swap Boris out if we want using that pesky democracy thing that the EU hates so much, you can not say the same for the EU bearaucrats.
My old ears struggle to hear your commentary while test driving. Not in this Bentley,I could hear every word perfectly. That is a testimony of excellent noise suppression. The rest of the car is pretty good aswell. Thanks Harry.
Bentley called me up once.......asked me to move my car it was blocking their entrance
Lol
But i think you can own a Bentley if you ask me how?
@@louis.hbenjamin5647 scammer
I always check his videos to make sure the old Rolls is still there
No doubt it is a beautifully engineered and finished car as you would expect from Bentley, but no it is not a farmers car. Great review Harry
These are super popular here in Bucharest, Romania where I live. Three on my street alone. . .
All paid for by the generous British tax payer .
Having driven the V12 I can attest to the level of quality, every detail has a wonderful machined feel to it, whereas the Range Rover autobiography felt too mainstream, beautiful nonetheless. It really is a lovely opulent environment to be in. My two girls suffer with travel sickness but loved the Bentley.
Harry: It is 5 years since I last drove a Bentayga
Me: It is 5 months since I last drove a Peugeot 106 diesel
Harry sounds like interference from mobile phone on mic.
Correct, what you are hearing is your mobile handset communicating with the base station, it tells the handset things like hand over to an adjacent cell or increase/decrease handset transmit rf power as you move around. If you turn your phone off or put it in flight mode these sounds should disappear. Great video BTW👍
Probably helped (or not) by the built in signal booster.
Indeed. If you set your phone to flight mode during filming it should go away. If that's not an option, try to keep it as far away from the mic, the infotainment unit and any speakers as possible.
Unless it is the car’s built in mobile used for data, feeding things like real time traffic, OTA and app functionality.
It also happens to my wireless speakers when my heat comes on - I have electric radiators and I believe they're controlled by a radio unit.
Topped out with options, at 200,000 pounds, it's not a farmer's car, "it's a land owner's car"! Perfect report, thank you!
Wonderful Harry, I really like the crown cut walnut wood, it suits the Green leather well, reminds me of the wood in the old Triumph Dolomite!
I would call this Hunter's Spec... just needs the shotgun cabinet in the boot
Hi Harry. Great channel as is your farming channel, thank you! FYI I’m a recording engineer and I know that the noise you keep picking up on your microphones is caused by a mobile phone nearby hunting for a signal. So turn your mobile phone to Airplane mode while filming (or keep it away from microphone/cables and recording device) and it won’t affect your audio!
With the thin margins of farming as you’ve explained them to us, I find it quite humorous that Bentley would push this on you as a 187,000 pound farming vehicle. 😂
It was slightly tongue in cheek, English humour but most people with UHNW money in the U.K. have farms as it comes with a lovely tax break.
Only 187,000 pounds? In Norway this car is priced twice as much!
Well, farmers in the Cotswolds like Harry who have a bit of land adjoining villages can make millions if they can get planning permission for housing.
Thin margins+High yield = lots of money
This amount of money you mentioned here can be made in couple of few months if you ask me how?
Your work is first rate.
We need more words like 'Waftability' here in the Colonies...
A Lincoln Town car is the most waftability you can have
It's a very old company descriptive, " waftability"!
@@edwardmcilwain2139 true
"I'm sat"...& Squidgy are faves as well
@@dragospahontu sad thing about the Lincoln car it finished production at the end of last year.2020
Looks beautiful, thanks for posting and congrats to any buyers!
Aghhhhh the heated seat control. My F-Pace is the same. Why a button to bring it up in touch screen and it starts on 3.... such an annoying thing.
Much better review of this car than the previous one I watched. I'm never going to buy one, but now I feel I know what I am missing...
Such a pleasure to watch your reviews Sir 👌
Never been a fan of the big Bentley, but damn it sounds great under load, gorgeous colour, beautiful inside all the wood you'd expect, Rj in Oz
Hey mate, waddya reckon it'd cost down here? Luxury car tax......
@@alexbrown1995 Bucket loads of cash, in the mid 90's a mate of mine custom ordered a Bentley Continental R, the short wheelbase coupe, was almost $750,000 by the time it landed, Oh & did you hear that Lindsey Fox flew 5 or 6 Rolls Royce's into Australia a few years ago to get around the luxury car tax increase, 2 of them were his, he charged $50,000 for each of the other ones, Rj
@@rjnation5042 Be nice to have lots of money. Bit like our PM. $549K PA, apparently....
@@alexbrown1995 Yeah Scotty from marketing, I've been buying & selling cars since high school, have some interesting friends, got into a lot of very impressive collections over the years, Rj
So when you getting the cullinan in for a farm test?
I don't think he wants to scare his livestock.
@@rsmth43 likewise, that's genuinely vile
I had the exact thought. We need all luxury SUVs as farm cars now
You absolutely deserve that comfort button Harry.
Great review.
I’m getting one of these next week. Lotto depending.
The speakers made by NAIM, are some of the best in the world.
Focal France
Yea speakers are focal who are tied up with Naim now , Naim does the amps headunit etc for this. It is nice to be able to go from focal and naim in the house to a similar setup in the car 😅
@@mitchbuchannon6637 didn’t know that. Shameful.
@@swb7161 I only knew it cause I grew up with a naim system in the house which I still have. just need a bentley now 😅
The Bentayga has really established itself. Very nice set of wheels. TBF, so is the Cullinan. Find both very appealing indeed, and I’m not really an SUV guy. 😎👍
7:15 Well, that explains the trickle-charger included in the boot.
What a car. I used to go to Geneva motor show and since some while ago, I started to admire Bentleys. They started to be really nice and posh in a good way - the quality and refinement of every bit was astonishing. Even from a point of view od someone who can't afford one it's nice to admire the workmanshift invested in these machines. And I do. Very much. I don't have an ambition to own one ever but I'm really glad they exist.
Something terribly satisfying about seeing a Bentley coasting through the muddy Cotswold fields
It's not reeeaaaally a Bentley though, is it.
@@stevenkelby2169 Did your 'E' key get stuck?
@@BobMonkeypimp Yes, also my a key 😂
@@stevenkelby2169 😀
That noise you are apologising for comes from your mobile phone network, try leaving or switching you're phone off you'll notice the difference 🤞👍 I'd also like to take this moment to appreciate your efforts you are the very best keep up the great work 👌
Another VAG chassis + jelly mould (Toureg / Q7 / Q8 / Urus / Bentayga)...top review as ever by Harry though.
It is a opulent car though
Always enjoy a Sunday with Harry.
I cannot see that as a every day farmers vehicle, but hunting vehicle....definitely!
I think it would get stuck in the mud on my shoot!
Without their EU subsidies , they may have to stick with the old Range Rover a while longer.
@@RichardEnglander shooting friend of mine is getting a bowler bulldog v8 to go shooting in, very jealous
It’s the kind of farming I want to do to be perfectly honest.
Hello from the USA! I loved this video. You produce top quality stuff. 👍🏾
' farmers car ' i suspect harry isn't taking this too seriously
Yeah... not quite the same approach as the Land Rover test.
I think people get farmers and Lord of the Manor types mixed up. I certainly don't know any farmer that could afford one of these monstrosities
@@chappy2121 What about Harry?
@@chappy2121 There are quite a few farmers up here in Scotland that own Land Rovers AND Bentaygas.... just saying....
@@Vaclarus no they just wear Barbour jackets and dress and appear to be what people think farmers are😂. I'm in Lincolnshire, don't get me wrong you can make good money from farming. But the ones I know would spend that wedge on farming kit or a race horse. My grandad stopped buying JLR in the 90s due to the issues he had with them
Beautiful car and love the colour Another great review from Harrys garage
Can surely do some farming at Ennismore Gardens with this one...
Real start of this video - those Scorpion tires!
Ps. if you can't put a bale of hay in the back in a review video, then that is a failed hay test.
Keep on rocking Harry!
Even if I could I would not spend over £150,000 on this car. I know that styling is very much a personal thing but it just doesn't look great. I would much rather spend £90,000 on a pre-reg'd Range Rover sport SVR.
Right?!
I actually had the pleasure of driving one of these for half a day after photographer friend of mine managed to convince our local Bentley dealership to lend him one free trial photo shoot. V8 white on black car. Sublime. Loved that gravelly noise when you step on it. Added to the lottery list for sure…
Looks only a mother would love, nice interior tho.
The interference noise you noted during the sound level testing is your phone interfering with your mic and/or recording device. You might be able to stop it, while still using the decibel app, by putting the phone in 'airplane' mode.
As we say in the US 🇺🇸 “a gentlemen farmer’s” ride. For property inspection and Foreman, employee consults.
Well done to Bentley for a traditional rev counter and speedometer built into the immaculate dash.
And the infotainment screen beautifully fitted into the luring dash instead of other manufacturers that slap an iPad-looking screen “onto” the dash as if it were glued there as an afterthought.
I do believe that the seatbelt in my car is made of *exactly* the same material as in the Bentayga!
Ha ha. You can go brag about that in the pub..When it reopens 😄
glad to see a car that is not trying to sell itself on looks.
so a farmer can have one of these or a new Tractor and the defender
I never liked the pre-facelift model but I loved this one. Very classy interior. Awesome wood option. Super review as always. 💯
I’m not going to lie, a VW Touareg is really the trim level of a bentayga to get...
How about a Skoda Kodiaq, surely that's also a decent bentayga trim level if value for money is what you're looking for.
@@mariusdufour9186 you’re probably right, as a Canadian our trim levels are Touareg (now discontinued), Q7, Cayenne and bentayga.
There are people out there who will buy a Bentayga, but for the rest of us peasants a mid spec Touareg or Q7 will offer 95% of the features
vw rubbish
@@audionut9974 Bentley are owned by VW you spanner.
how is the Touareg „really the trim level of a bentayga to get“ if they don’t even share their chassis? they might be on the same MLBevo platform, so they share some tech, but that’s it. period.
don‘t forget the A4 B9, A5 F5, A6 C8, A7 C8, A8 D5, e-tron GE, Q5 FY, Q7 4M, Q8 4M, Urus, Cayenne 9YA and Phideon are all based on the MLBevo plattform. so you wanna say now the A4 is the cheapest version of the Bentayga just because they share a platform? I guess not, same for the Touareg
Ya know what harry, the bentayga really suits you mate!! Allways love the way you articulate the feel, highs and lows. Hope your keeping safe in the lockdown. Kis kaha, ben from NZ
I think the audio interference is your phone being ‘polled’. This usually happens when it switches between masts or goes in/out of service.
Thanks but my phone was in airplane mode throughout the review, just as I do in all of my videos. Odd thing is I've discovered the other time this has happened recently was when I was reviewing the Bentley Flying Spur, so I have to think it must be the tracker device Bentley fit in all of their press cars that's causing the interference..
@@harrysgarage You mentioned at 17:12 that the wireless phone charger enhances the telephone reception, maybe this enhancement causes the problem?
@@harrysgarage I am fairly sure that Quentin is correct that it is a mobile phone, so if its not yours, could it be Bentleys own on board data link?
@@harrysgarage Maybe the car is ‘connected’ and has its own SIM card. If so it’ll work exactly like a mobile and will be polled when switching masts. I’m sure it’s annoying for you but it doesn’t spoil my enjoyment of your reviews 👍
Harry, that sound is mobile phone polling - a sound that has been with us from when mobile phones were still analogue :). You need to keep your phone away from the microphones, or use microphones with balanced connections (XLR).
Oh yeah! I'll make a cup of tea before viewing.
It’s the simple things eh 👍🏼
I poured a glass of wine especially🙂.
Another brilliant review from Harry I am glued to this channel
I know a wealthy farmer who has one so I guess it is a farmer car
Wealthy or just heavily borrowed to the hilt, something like a man called Trump?
Those uncovered cupholders look out of place in such an elegant interior. Details, Bentley, details...
thanks from the Netherlands! now my girlfriend wants one for her horsetrailer haha
Get a new girlfriend.
Very much enjoy your channel and how you present the information. Thanks & all the best from rural Washington State USA.
Any farmer driving one of those over here in the US would get laughed at. We just drive old Fords. 🤣
Quality again Harry! Great journalism. Relevant, critical, unbiased...
wow that initial shot . . . creaks harder and louder than my 40-year-old rusty wheelbarrow
I always enjoy your reviews. Very thorough, informative and of course, can't stop watching.
I would take 9 Dacia Dusters instead thanks
It was a great pleasure to see your Bentley Test ❤️🚜❤️
The question in the title is so ridiculous when a farmer wouldn’t even buy a new defender at half the price. Nice car though👍 That intermittent noise is I think to do with your mobile phone.
My goodness but you know how to tempt a Gentleman. Especially in that beautiful green.
Fantastic review.
No farmers where I live, no Bentleys either. Any chance of testing a 6 year old Mondeo?
:-))
Your fluffy microphone was showing the g forces beautifully.
I can imagine a heavily tattooed footballer with the latest silly haircut buying these. What a car 👍
Silly hair cuts, they must be so bored and have lets see how stupid we can make ourselves look.
@@andyrbush it's more likely that they have no personality and just adopt whatever the latest cringe fad is. Unfortunately copy/paste sleeve tattoos and ridiculous hair has been in for a while.
I don't like SUV, I don't like the Bentayga but I love to watch Harry's video!! :) I miss the UK
