| Description |
| The Bentley Arnage is a huge saloon packed with luxurious features and promotes complete exclusivity. There are however far more vehicles on the market that offer a more modern design and equipment, better pricing and performance although they are mass-produced vehicles. |

The last of the all British designed Bentleys are displayed in the Arnage as the later models will feature a large amount of Volkswagen influence under the bodywork.
The Bentley Arnage is a very fast car for its large size and filled with leather trim and wood finishes. The Arnage boasts hand built quality but this does not compete with the much cheaper luxury saloons provided by the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
The driving experience is not so great on an uneven road surface but the handling is still secure.
Petrol consumption is not great on the 6.75 V8 turbocharged engine but it does give out great performance.
Other downsides are the high cost of servicing the Arnage and its large depreciation value. All in all a nice car but expensive upkeep. |
