I have been in the new Ghost several times, and there really isn't anything comparable, it's really hard to describe just how well it feels wafting down the road. It gives you this instant Bougie feeling.
I honestly don’t think you’re paying for just the name. The smoothness of the engine, the materials (the sound of the A/C Vents!!!!), the plushness of the leather, the unrivaled ride quality and the way it makes you feel special when you drive it.
I kinda disagree. Engine smoothness is also found in a lot of luxury vehicles and even lesser ones, the GV80 is a classic example, for materials Bentley with the Flying Spur is incredible, so is Mercedes with the Maybach (A/C sound vent isn't a deal breaker), with the leather, the above mentioned cars do a pretty awesome job that rivals the Royce and more, Ride quality is the only place I would still rate a Royce first. In conclusion, you really are paying for the name because in the fast moving world of automobiles, people are looking more at areas like technology, quality materials and more. Pitting a Rolls-Royce against flagships from other companies, the Rolls doesn't score wins in a lot of categories just a few.
You're paying for the name. I bet if you were blindfolded and rode in this Ghost and a 2021 Corolla SE sedan, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Modern cars have come a long way and the Corolla sport trims have a Lexus luxury powertrain.
@@braetonwilson4296 I’m so sorry you’re objectively incorrect. I’ve owned Carolas and now own audis and Lexus , you definitely notice quite a few differences. Is it necessary? No but there definitely is a difference besides the name. Actually Lexus and genesis actually prove that it’s not just a name. Please go drive these cars atleast as a test drive before making such broad statements I know you’ll see hear and feel the difference. Again is it necessary no, also I’m sure if cars aren’t the thing you spend money on for joy, you have a thing that isn’t necessary but you do anyway because it feels nice. Please go drive the carols se back to back with an rx 400 or gs350 or even the is300 you’ll notice a difference immediately.
Why does the host state certain features are a waste of money when the car is worth $500K?! If someone is going to spend the money to buy the vehicle, spending an extra $5K on the exhaust tips is no big deal.
I like how Sofyan is doing compliment sandwich! Says good things. Then says the heads up looks average then says the ecstasy is not average and amazing!
The RR is my absolute favorite ultra-luxury vehicle! I suspect that the typical RR buyer couldn't care less about the cost of ANYTHING. If they did, they'd be buying something much more pedestrian.
yes and it was in the beginning a problem because it was to much reflecting, that is way one side is polish and the other siede not. (grill) it doesn't should be lighting, it should be glowing
6:16 "Calling roadside assistance?" 👀... For half a million I expect private security & service staff to drive out to where I'm at with the tire and some refreshments of my choice (preferably champagne) to calm my nerves while they change the tire for me because my shattered nerves can't handle that such a thing would happen TO ME? 💆🏾♂️😭 I'm rich and important and I have places to be. 😂😂😂
You have created a new chapter in automotive journalism videos: the night-time drive. For viewers it adds a new perspective to experiencing the car vicariously -- I feel like one of the car's occupants. You should consider making a night-time drive a regular part of your tests.
Great review, guys! Captures the wonderment of this gorgeous car. And the colors (ALL of them-that silver is mercury-liquid freakin' luscious) are gorgeous and super classy, as they should be. And Mr. PuponT would surely LOVE it lol ;).
Sofyan, I love your honesty in this video. Every other Rolls Royce video I see the reviewer is just full of superlatives, I mean I get it , it is a special car but everyone seems to say the same things as if they are being coached by RR on what specific things to say. Thanks for the great video
@13:23, FYI...you can set the spirit of ecstasy to your presets just like with every other BMW. This saves time from going through the menu to find the option to lower it.
The only disappointment are the steering wheel stalks. What have they done with them? Even the ones from BMW look ten times nicer! Apart from that it’s a gorgeous interior.
It's funny how they came up with the design of the 2004 Phantom and haven't been able to go any further. Not that this looks bad, but that car was sooooo far ahead of its time design-wise that there really wasn't anywhere else to go.
Just for the record the umbrellas are not 1200 extra, they are standard. However, to get them color coded with the interior and not black, you have to pay 1200 extra.
I just wish that RR would stop branding this car as having a their old 6.75 V12. This is indeed a relative of the V12 that you can get right now in a BMW 760. Nothing at all wrong with that, but RR has been doing this since 2003.
Great video, Sofyan. I certainly can't afford it. I think I would have to be extremely wealthy to even consider buying a Rolls-Royce. You have a great week.
Part of the expense of such a car is that you're able to get hand-built craftsmanship to include laser-braised roof construction that is then shaped by hand using primitive equipment such as an English Wheel, hand-polished metal switches, and yes, even a steering wheel that is hand-sewn. Yes, they're no longer 100% hand-built, but so many of the components are.
press the number 8 it rais and lower the spirit of ectasy, in front of the passenger seat there are a display with 90000 holes with 150 LED ! to open the backside door pull once it open a little bit and if you hold it it opens from alone, to open the picknick tabel press left. to open the monitor right
Why am I getting some vibes of old Sofyan from around 2 years ago, well... its a good thing coz i really dont like the vlog style please keep this format the same on other reviews aswell
Nice to see your new husband having a talking role in a video. I would love to see you both doing a point-counterpoint kind of thing with your road tests. It would add a new dimension similar to Micah Muzio and his wife Evie. They balance each other and give you a dual take on the vehicle.
When taking about cost/affordability you have to remember that most of the sales are based on leases and those customers looking to “flex” for lack of a better term. Often it’s those new to fame/money who want to project an image but couldn’t safely purchase the car.
At this price point you’re not going to qualify if you don’t make $$$$. They ain’t making a lousy 100k a yr., even on a lease you’re still dishing out around 3k a month so add that plus mortgage ins and other bills, that person would be making 170k annually at the Iow end
Then don't watch the videos of cars you can't afford. You want an auto journalist to turn down the opportunity of reviewing ultra luxury cars because most of us can't afford them, after for many years reviewing basic cars?
@@InvestBetter. I have, but the rolls Royce is definitely more luxury focused than the Bentley, rolls Royce designed the new ghost to be simple and minimalist, so no crazy designs like the insane quilted leather in the Bentley just a normal clean design
Something about the digital dash seems out of place on this car, I think a combination of traditional gauges and some digital displays would have been better
@@kristians2704 True testament to how good of a vehicle the Genesis is compared to the Lexus is how well it will be operating and how much is it worth 10 years from now.. and to answer that question the Lexus will blow the Genesis out of the water..
If you guys could have this car for 2 days with a chauffeur, what would you do and where would you go?
Anywhere. 😁
Drive it myself of course! I think only the Phantom really appeals to people who want a chauffeur.
After firing the chauffeur, how about taking on the Pacific Coast Highway?
To my wedding.
I would go to chick fil a first... That's all I know for now
Keith’s comment of “Drop me off at the dollar tree” was HILARIOUS!

Only thing missing during the review is Sofyan needs to hold a bottle of champagne while doing this review.
And a cigar 🤣
And don't forget the Grey Poupon..
he wont do that
I remember reading that the average Rolls Royce buyer made $6 million per year. Not worth $6 million, but actually having an income of $6 million.
Let that sink in for a second or two. Saying that’s insane is almost a compliment.
That's about 600K a monf😤
Key word is "average"
Oddly enough MOST Millionaire or Billionaire don't drive a Rolls or Bentley.

@@kobbycrentsil2859 Same. Though I'd opt for the extended wheelbase. The standard wheelbase seems quashed in the back.

How does a hole and a hole.....
This Rolls-Royce is one of the few modern-day Sedans that have a seemingly-high ceiling...
The interior of the car is beautiful.
Thanks for the review for the rolls royce i have been watching your vids for a long time
Just like that your off to the sunset in a relaxing manner
I like how this guy reviews a Rolls Royce the same way he reviews a RAV4

Sofyan you appear small in the driver seat. Those seats backs really that tall/big? For an entry Rolls this is impressive ride for sure.
Just for the record the umbrellas are not 1200 extra, they are standard. However, to get them color coded with the interior and not black, you have to pay 1200 extra.
Did you intentionally try to match your shirt and shoes with the interior? :)

This car cost about 200k max & the RR badge cost about 300k
Nope, about 150k is for the rr badge and they are allowed to overprice it since it is the best and they charge you for the best
from the side reminds of the infiniti m 45 of 2003.
