Guess you haven't driven many Audi's. I think they drive very smooth, have great smooth power band, top notch brakes, and good handling from the factory. My 10 year old 150k mile Audi still pleases me. You are entitled to your opinion tho.
I work for the honda dealer as a writer. I would say get an 01-05 Civic. They are the most reliable and just make sure you do t-belt service at 110K or 7 years, and keep up on 30k services and you'll be fine. ive seen them often with 350k miles running perfect if maintained.
I love the Bentley! I remember my first day working at MAG my boss rolls in with the Continental GT and told me to put some air in the tires and drive it around the block to get the indicator off. My eyes lit up! It was a very fun car to drive!
