2020 Bentley Continental GT any issues?

Does anyone with a 2020 Continental GT have any issues with it? Whether it be rattles, fit and finish, electrical etc. I'm considering getting a 2020 model but if there's any first model year issues that are just better avoided then I will probably lean towards a 2021+ model.

Mr Horsepower is infamous around these parts
I have a 2020 Conti GT V8 and the car has been great with no issues. Purchased new in May of 2021, currently have approximately 3500 miles on it.

The car is looking great thanks for the reply! I will definitely look into getting a 2020 model.

I was at the point of ordering a new 2021, when this car appeared on my radar and was close to my desired spec. It was located in an area that was still on covid lockdown as well as some other problems and the dealer was open to negotiate a deal.

It came with every option I wanted as well as some I didn’t. I can tell you some things that came on my car that are not worthwhile - at least IMHO, LOL.

Yeah for sure I would like to know what isn't worthwhile. Also do you have the Naim audio system that was something that I've heard a lot of people say its practically the best sound system on the market.

I can’t comment on the Niam system as my car has the Bang & Olufsen, which was (in 2020) a $6800 option and meets my needs, but I’m not an audiophile. I’ll post the all the options tomorrow along with my opinions.

It pretty much is. When I bought my car I specifically looked for one that had it, after reading several rave reviews, including but not limited to What HiFi?, and it's every bit as brilliant as the hype might lead one to believe. I've been a rather hardcore audiophile for a long time and it's by far the most balanced OEM automotive system I've ever listened.

The downside is that it occupies a sizable chunk of trunk space. Something that I realized only after signing the dotted line. Not the end of the world as our kids are grown up now and my wife drives a more utilitarian Audi RS6 but something to consider depending on your needs.

That's good to know. Since the car is mainly just going to be a daily for me and I don't really haul much things I think I should be fine.

sweet car! does it have the spinning hide-a-display? i love that option. Also, in your shopping I would pretty much only look at Mulliner cars. They usually have the diamond stich pattern on the seats. Oh yeah...and ambient lighting. I really love that one.
