摘要

If the Bentley was best characterized by exceeding expectations, the Vanquish was the opposite. Put simply, the beautiful body and intoxicating engine note write checks the rest of the car can't cash. To be fair to the Vanquish, it was one of the most-debated cars in this competition. Some judges, your author included, found the steering numb and artificially heavy. Others found it direct and responsive. Some said the ride was stiff and jittery; others called it composed and well-damped. Ranking it ahead of the Bentley involved quite a bit of disagreement.
