Have you driven either one? The Wraith is easily one of the best cars I’ve ever driven. I haven’t had the chance to drive the current generation of Bentleys yet but all I’ve heard is how great they are. The interiors are incredible in them.

No, but I can't imagine it handles like a Lotus or Miata. If you could explain why it's the best I'm all ears.

When you’re old you’ll care less about shoe-horning yourself into a tiny car and more about driving one of the best cars on the planet. I’ve had plenty of sports cars and currently have a 458 that I traded the Wraith for, but there is nothing that drives like a Rolls. It’s the absolute smoothest most luxurious ride you can possibly get. It’s fast for its size, you feel like a total boss driving it, the upgraded sound system is the best I’ve ever heard in any car that’s OEM, and it’s just an experience that no other manufacturer replicates including Bentley. The Rolls of today is not the Rolls of the 1980s.
