I would just assume this, but is start/stop a lot worse when it's not a smooth V8? The start stop in your S-Class isn't too terrible (though I hate it still and would always turn it off).
It’s pretty bad on any car haha. I have it coded off on my S Class
One big issue I have with the 760 is there is no way to turn it off. Can’t be turned off with a button or coded off!
The engine is very fascinating, low HP but insane torque. Over 700 off idle lol!
Wow that is a great looking car with tons of features and very low miles. Decent price too even though its over six years old. At least it is probably easy for you to work on because I know someone with a Bentayga and he said the service costs are ridiculous.
Oh I know you jailbroke it, lol. I don't blame you, but me personally I'd just hit the button every time as long as it wasn't dug into a screen.
One of the great things about a German car is the ability to code it. Mine leaves the ESS off, it defaults to the drive mode I prefer every time, then you can code off and on the seat belt chimes and all kinds of things,
Dealbreaker, that is really unfortunate. i7 it would be!
I wouldn’t call it a dealbreaker, it’s way less noticeable with the 48v system, it’s 95% imperceptible in the 760…it’s actually even less noticeable than on the S580

Its fantastically nice but there were some dealbreaker class issues.....all cosmetic, the step up over my W12 on the interior was also not quite what I expected but I guess when you already have super nice ultra nice doesn't have the same shock factor lol!
The car was on aftermarket rims, REALLY hard driven tires, had a cracked front bumper and shattered paint ($15-20k for that alone) but the real big red flag was the passenger rear door upper lead corner had rust/corrosion. That's not acceptable for $140k IMO....
Appointments and features are excellent, veneer and hides are peerless and fit/finish is not anything less than perfect. Smell is exceptional, door feel is very unique as well.....I was expecting a more aggressive latch tone and thunk like my Audi but it's really more like a Lexus. Very refined and smooth, same with all the controls.
Underside is surprisingly primitive, it's not a flying spur under there that's for sure but I would want this as a pure luxury car not performance. Acceleration is "hand of god" or jet like and very smooth, all inputs need to be deliberate but it's a truly special drive.
I didn't take many pictures sorry, was busy just enjoying its presence etc lol!
RSE screens retract and tray tables are power deploy All metal

Is there really no way to code it out or disable the circuit? On land rovers you physically remove a module to stop its ability to start/stop

That is neat…. Mine’s too old for anything obviously.
I’m a seat belt wearer absolutely but chimes drive me INSANE, my LX. I don’t get around to it right away every time, it will ding for 45 seconds.
In the old analog Benz the seatbelt warning is a light that comes on with the other ones at startup and goes right off. Not even a regular chime.
That’s glorious. Even I was surprised at first at how lax the seat belt warning is.

That car definitely has some presence with that front end and I actually like the wheels on it. I can't see the paint issues or the cracked bumper though. Also, not sure how it has rust unless it was kept outside since it only has 12k miles, it should be near flawless if not driven that much. What do you mean by shattered paint?

Here you go, there is a crack in the bumper just under that air inlet and the paint is shattered. Massive issue and a walk away type problem for me at that price
Also, y'all are right. The Bentayga just doesn't do the badge justice in person, the Mulsanne was the very definition of presence but the tayga is "eh", still a crazy nice interior and I personally like them a lot but I see why many here think it looks weak. The interior is so good however that for me it's still my favorite on road SUV.

Ok, I see it now. As for the Bentayga they get no love here but I saw a ton of them last week and it was strange, some I saw had presence and others didn’t for some reason. Could have been the color of some of them but I didn’t really pay attention much, it’s just some made me look and others just glance.

I drove a silver one today and again the interior is nice but in that color I just felt like I was in a SQ7 since mine lacked the real engine etc....
I've also been around a Viridian green over a similar scheme as the Mulsanne and THAT one had some serious presence. It was a W12 so the exterior brightwork was much more prominent and the drive was just so much better than the V8.
The outer part of that tire doesn't look so good either.
Its absolutely fried, someone was really driving the car right to its limits! Shredded it like it went on track really......to do that on the street you need to push beyond sane limits.
