    The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is not a passengers car, it's a driver's car.

    Every Time I see a phantom I'm stunned by the size of the thing. It's HUGEEEE n yet so classy

      Kings mario I was surprised too! The first time I saw one & probably the only one was in April.

    • @eireboy100
      @eireboy100 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Never seen a phantom till my neighbour brought one home, I couldn't get over the size of it, I knew they where big cars but holy shit they're huge.

    • @rustynugget2288
      @rustynugget2288 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Kings mario i think everyone that says they're ugly has never seen one in real life. in pictures they look kinda small and not that flashy. in real life they're stupidly big and look so elegant. i first saw one in Jakarta and I couldnt even believe how big it was. makes every other car look like a mini

    • @rustynugget2288

      Turbo Snail moment of silence for all phantom chauffeurs in dense cities please. imagine trying to parallel park one or navigate it around a multistory carpark

    • @gmansplit
      @gmansplit 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The first time I saw a phantom... Oh wait, I have never seen a Phantom, or any RR for that matter. The best Car I have seen was a base 911 Carrera.

    "leather so soft it's like getting a hug from a cow that was happy to sacrifice it's hide"...lol

    • @niptodstan
      @niptodstan 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think I'm right in saying that the leather in a RR is from bulls not cows. Unless the cow he was on about was his Mother in law!

    • @randomcarguy1656
      @randomcarguy1656 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      yes. it is from bulls. you know why? because cows get stretch marks when they're pregnant.

    This is probably one of your best videos to date. You're absolutely right about everything you say in regard to how Rolls' are built - there isn't a single corner cut, nor any expense spared. And that's the way it should be!
    It seems Rolls Royce's values are mirrored in your own. Your videos are spot on, and you guys are a credit to the TH-cam community. Please keep making them!

    Thank you for your thoughtful review. If you can love a car, this is the one. Truly this is a grand motor car. I got to sit in one at the dealership and they were so nice, they even gave me a DVD on how they are built. This was in 2015-2016 when they were still being manufactured. I dream of owning one and can still feel the sensation of the steering wheel in my hands as I pray and envision owning one someday.

  • @sgfreak96
    @sgfreak96 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Phantom's drive/ride experience is unlike any other car. It is perhaps the smoothest driving car in existence, and probably the most elegant of any car out there. I can't wait until I get in one again!

  • @borjan.s

      Xavier Jones They would if it was a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. These two really are the ones that people hate and are jealous of the most.
      They'll admire you if you have a Bentley, Aston or Maserati, but they'll hate you fora Ferrari.

    • @Dgannt
      @Dgannt 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Kaisuke971Xavier Jones I think when you drive a Ferrari people know you're driving the best there is and that somehow ignites their lowest qualities, jealousy being the strongest. That is why all these stories are made up about Ferrari owners and drivers being in a special way and many call them dickheads. Jealousy at it's strongest. And most start by stating the opposite to justify their attacks, that they are not jealous. The higher up in class and price you go, the more they will hate you. Usually TH-cam videos about cars are up to 95% filled with jealousy and hate comments.

    In Ireland you pronounce rice as Royce, apparently the owners of a car company were in an Irish café trying to decide what to come up with a brand name, they asked what came with the chicken curry? The Irish café owner said "sorry but were out of chips, but you can have ROLLS or ROYCE " the rest is Motor industry history.

    Only downside to this car that I encountered is the fairly limited rear legroom, considering the overall vehicle dimensions. Sadly, it is true that Rolls-Royces CEO announced that both Coupe and Drophead Coupe will be permanently discontinued by the end of 2016, so Dawn will be the solely open-top Rolls-Royce, Wraith the solely coupe.

      boy638 the phantom coupe is a more elegant car. i also prefer the more squared off profile of the phantom to the rear swooped wraith. the wraith is sweet, obviously, but it's also boisterous and in-your-face. if i had my pick, i would prefer the phantom coupe.

    • @boy638
      @boy638 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      to me both are still pretty in-your-face-im-rich, so if i can afford one i would choose the wraith, but thats my personal opinion :)
