Flying Spur or Phantom

What's everyone's opinion on this? A 2007 CFS and 2005 Phantom are roughly the same price~only 20k difference.

Thanks.

This would be a daily driver. I only drive 300 miles a month though, but am a fan of cars.

flying spur would be better. i think it looks weird if people are driving phantoms and not being driven in them. flying spurs are also very fast and more of a drivers car.

i agree, i love phantoms but looks weird not being driven in them. the gt and flying spur are awesome. honestly cant go wrong with either. i have 2 little kids and they will fit fine in a gt. i prefer the gt over the fs.

As they have said, Phantom is usually to be driven by your chauffeur. I'd pick Flyng Spur.

I actually drove both of those cars today. I would say that the CFS is more enjoyable to drive. It handles pretty well and has a good amount of power. It also has a nice quiet ride. The Phantom drives pretty big. It handles like a cloud and there is no road noise. The Phantom makes a statement and gets you noticed more than a Spur would. All of my clients drive there Phantoms. Spur is easier to park. I drive these cars everyday and I can say that you will be happy with either one.

Bentley built too many flying spurs they admitted it. While I love the GT I hate the FS styling even though they are essentially the same car. Phantom is exotic so if you want looks and exclusivity go Phantom.
