Rolls-Royce Ghost review! The Rolls-Royce Ghost is a special luxury sedan, and also the "affordable" entry-level Rolls-Royce. Today I'm going to show you all the quirks and features of the Ghost, and I'll also show you all the neat luxury touches. I'm also going to drive the Rolls-Royce Ghost and review the driving experience to show you what it's like behind the wheel.

That wooden pattern on the dash and behind the seats is the nicest use of wood I've ever seen in a car. Absolutely beautiful.
Outstanding
Tasteless
Fake wood vinyl panels on 80s station wagons look better
Not only it looks amazing, it's made of pieces of different wood types. It must have taken ages to make a single ornament.
thats what your mother said last night
And I've heard it be said steering one of these machines is like steering a cloud...

Doug is the kind of guy to drive $200,000 cars in $2 shorts.
Interesting, how both he and Leno dress in rather sloppy attire, whilst conducting presentations of the world’s finest Automobiles…
@@AbeTheSigma007 I'd like to believe Doug dresses up as Leno for halloween. You know, with the denim shirt he wears on his channel.
My kind of guy.
@@CannedFishFiles ah... the Canadian tuxedo!😏😏😂😂
$400,000 with the options
Seeing all the expensive options just makes me interested to see what an absolute base Rolls Royce would look like
The base Rolls is just a theory, no such thing in a showroom.
they say they refuse to sell an abs base RR lol
but ghost is the base car
@@Fergieboi445 base as in no options.

The amount of thought and engineering put into this vehicle is amazing. Think about the timing of the radio cover. If it slaps down its cheap. If it takes to long it’s cheap. Just the right amount of time to feed your opulence.
" to feed your opulence " lmao
Audi gets this better than BMW does, ironically. I had a 2012 A7 Prestige and they used a lot of the same tricks on a budget but it really elevated the car: metal caps on the plastic switches so you were always touching metal, everything was soft-close and delayed to open slowly, subtle lighting in good places, slow fade in on the electronic displays, little light shows and needle dances when you start and stop. Very clever and a better job than BMW does with even the high end 5 and 7 series.
@@MichaelEilers The A8 I’ve been in blows the 7 series away completely.
@@aaron-fauth Are you sure those cars were from the same era?
Doug is the kind of guy who gives a Rolls Royce a 9 for comfortability.
well, yeah
And wears shorts and sneakers to boot.
I always skip the dougscore
He's also the only man that can lock himself in a motorcycle.
@@adj789 that’s like skipping the plot, the dougscore is the whole point
Ah yes , considering either this or a 1998 Opel Corsa 1.0 as my next affordable daily driver. Thanks for the consumer advice Doug!
Difficult choice. In the end I’d take the Opel, because it’s got all the comfort but also drives like an F1-car. So it’s superior to the RR.
Man, same choice for me. But for me it wasn't an Opel 1.0 but rather a Matiz 1.0. And boy, do I love that car.
rich people watch yt too bro
I owned a 2001 Opel Corsa B 1.7 diesel for 10 years, it was a fun car.
Now time to get a RR myself
@@manoman0 Daewoo! Fun fact China made a modern Mariz Copy it's called the Cherry QQ
I mean I would never pay 58 grand for a trim package, but the fact that somebody else did, I can appreciate that passenger side inlay is absolutely stunning
Now THISSSSS is a Rolls Royce review. Finally who specified the double sliding heat/cool options for upper and lower temperatures. My dream feature.
The power reserve gauge was explained in reverse. If you're going very slowly it will still be above 70% because you still have that much power *in reserve*. That's why it shows 100% at idle. If you floor it, it will go down to 20 or less.
I clocked that as well, the harder you accelerate, less reserve power is left. Doug said it backwards.
That irked me lol
Exactly
See, this is why Doug won't be doing older cars. Thanks Car Karen. /s
@@LambosOnly go sit down. He does older cars all the time. Did you forget the eldorado, brougham, or the lagonda?
The Ghost looks great. Its just as classy as the phantom without being as "in your face" as it, such an amazing car.
Then there is the wraith, which is just perfect
unreliable car,insane maintenance cost.
@@janospharkas6367 yeah man people who buy this car really care about maintenance costs
Are 12? Only a 12 year old would find this "classy" because they don't know what the word actually means.
@@TheTerryE I'm interested now, what cLaSsY vehicle do you have in mind as preference here?
It's a fukkn Rolls Royce lol how is it not in your face. This was in every rap video in the 2010's
25:46 it actually takes just a moment on each side to paint :) there is a special person (Mark Court) at RR who does just that line on their cars and if you look it up on YT you'll see how fast AND precise he does it by hand. RR had him once shipped to Dubai to paint a coach line on a car that was already delivered because the owner changed his mind and wanted to have it done additionally :)
The skillset is remarkably nevertheless. It is not about how fast he can do it but how long it took him to master his craft so he can do it confidently in a matter of seconds.
I once saw a guy in Allentown, PA, do a "coach line" (we plebs call them pin stripes) on a ~2014 Subaru Legacy while waiting on a friend to negotiate a deal on an Impreza. It was incredibly impressive, even if I wouldn't want it on my car. I wonder how Subaru dealer guy compares to RR factory guy. It was detailed, totally freehand, and seemingly took about 5 minutes.
Master mechanic friend of mine told me about a guy they used for pin striping many years ago. He’d take a shot of whiskey for each stripe to steady his hand. Probably a joke but putting paint to something like this i would want to get it over with and swear it’s the best work anyone could do lol
Doug is like my dad - using 50 words where 10 will do, and endless recaps of what he's already said.
That's how speeches work. It's the only way to get anyone to remember your point.
@@mvbmvb It is also the easiest way to lose people's attention in further conversations.
just watch at 2x speed, then it's normal information density!
He done my head in I skipped 99% he never took a breath 🤪
AND!.....AND!!..... AND!!!. How annoying!!!
The only affordable rolls for me are King’s Hawaiian.

Also possibly the best Rolls
A bit of a correction, 13:46 Good sir De'muro.
Power reserve acts not like a tachometer or a rev counter but one in reverse.
For example if you floor it the more power you shall -use- sorry, consume say 69% whereby less of it shall remain, i.e. 31% as such the Power Reserve needle here shall point to 31%.
If you're in slow traffic you'll consume less power say 31% and have 69% in reserve, and the needle shall again indicate as such.
Assists in showing the amount of power left in a gear.
Jolly good, carry on.
I say, absolutely splendid advice my good fellow
@@carltonleboss 'Twas a brrrrriliant commentary sir!
Brilliant!
Doug is the greatest to ever do this car review thing. He ran up a biggg bag n still does reviews exactly how he’s done them since day 1!! No huge crew, no fancy this or that. Literally just Doug, his iPhone n his simple, cool, intelligent, interesting, quirky way of doing car reviews. Can’t do nothing but respect this dude. Keep doing ya thing man. Love every review n I love the knowledge I get from them. N I love seeing n learning about some cars that I otherwise would never know about or didn’t know enough about. For instance, the Mclaren F1. A car I had heard of before n had heard all the praise surrounding that car n i still didn’t think it was all that until I saw Doug review it. N after that I was completely sold on the F1 being the greatest car ever made. Thank you Doug!! I appreciate the work n research that goes into making a great video. Take care n keep the reviews coming.
He does have his own video editor though...
I have 2015 Ghost. It's been several months since I bought it secondhand and I'm very satisfied!
That's about the same Price you get these here in Europe for! A Friend bought a 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost with a bit over 100000km (about 62000 Miles) for 95000 Euros (around 95000 USD as well).
He bought it in July from the Owner. So far he used it to drive on Vacation in Southern Italy from here in Germany and as of now he doesn't regret buying it nor had Issues with it.
Makes me wonder if it will be fine for another 100000km (62000 Miles) or if they're known to get Issues in that Range of Kilometers.

@@frasermackenzie7275
Super Blondie is an older woman, he'd be trading her in soon enough for a younger model.
Working down in Naples, FL I see these around town with some commonness. They definitely bring that Rolls prominence that is to be expected albelit less so than the Phantom as Doug pointed out. Still really big sedans that turn heads but the blend in slightly more than Phantoms. Still awesome, love the vid and love the rep for the 76ers. I moved to Florida from right outside Philly so naturally Philly sports feel like home.
i’m glad that Doug thoroughly answered all of my questions about the spirit of ecstasy
Doug is the type of guy who follows traffic rules on GTA
he follows all applicable laws and regulations. 😆 can only walk down the street.

Doug even pulls over for the police and gets shot
@@paulie-Gualtieri. arrested *
fake, no one follow traffic rules in the GTA, i mean the Canadian one.
im not sure about the videogame btw
@@JDMHaze busted*
The styling, I find, to be far superior than the Phantom. Thanks for another spectacular and thorough review. I absolutely love this, specifically this (S-Class/A8/XJ/7-Series… and above), category. Cheers.
I agree, the phantom is far too "blingy" for my taste. The ghost is understated and elegant.
S Class Benzes and their Brabus and Maybach counterparts are the best of the best in performance and luxury imo
Honestly, I do like the simple look. It's like a nice mix between a Dodge muscle car, and a fever dream.
While I like the Phantom's imposing look, the Ghost is the one I'd buy if I had Rolls-Royce-level money to spend on a car. I like the subtle look for everyday-ish use, and as Doug and others have pointed out, it's more of a driver-oriented car than its sibling.
Agree. Many luxury cars are so blingy as to be tasteless. That is not true of the Ghost.
The most detailed review I ever watched on the Rolls Royce ghost! … well done pal 👍🏼
I'm glad he showed that you could lift the screen cover back up, i was afraid that once you put it down, the screen was covered FOREVER.
Doug is so thorough.
Doug is the type of guy to go trick or treating in a Rolls-Royce Ghost for Halloween

Underrated comment 👏
And shouting "BOO!!" every chance he gets.
Then after that, saying "you get it?....Cause I'm in a Ghost." With his little giggle.
The dad is strong with this one.
Underrated comment 👏
Affordable and rolls Royce in the same sentence 😂😂😂
"Affordable" is different for everyone. What's cheap to some is expensive to other.
At least it had the quotes
Must be a joke the rich wealthy people of the world use with one another when they're talking about Rolls Royce.
What color is yo Bugatti? Brokey.
What planet is this clown living on affordable
@Doug Demuro: Thank you for this one. I love RR Phantoms and Ghosts big time. As a 6'3" 222lbs guy these vehicles are designed comfortably for us big guys.
Some facts for us Doug followers.
The "stars" shown all around the interior of this Rolls-Royce are called "The Rose of the Winds", "The Wind Rose", or even "The compass rose". Not merely a compass or a star.
The exquisite work done to the wood covers of the interior is called "Marquetry". In this case, pieces of wood in different colors are inserted into larger wood pieces before the gloss transparent enamel is applied.
Finally, the "champagne glasses" are called "flutes" because or their elongated and slender shape. "Flute holder" is a more elegant term to describe a "champagne glass cup holder".
May I say that Mr. de Muro gives us all the chance to enjoy the best car reviews in all of the web.
Best wishes to everyone of you car enthusiasts.
Well... DANG, Cava. 😀 I was going to make a comment about the compass rose but saw your comment said it all better than I could. Thanks for pointing that out.
Such a timeless design…
Hats off to RR…
Timeless? It looks like a truck. Timeless is the RR of the early 1960s.
The BMW Group designed this car, so hats off to them.
@@ajlee6933 if you watch the video.. rolls royce designed it themselves using a modified bmw platform.
@@23gatesy Rolls Royce doesn’t exist by themselves. They are apart of The BMW Group. BMW saved the brand when they bought them out. Sales were terrible until BMW introduced the Ghost, Wraith, Dawn, and Cullinan.
@@ajlee6933 I'm aware of that. Lots of car companies are owned by parent companies but Rolls still make their own cars in England where they originated.
People who are quick to point out that a “Rolls Royce Ghost is just a BMW 7-Series in a frock” were so curiously silent about Rolls Royces being “just a Bentley in a frock” for the decades that Rolls Royces were actually Bentleys in frocks.
Other way around. Bentley was RR with a turbo and no SOE. But both used GM designed engines and transmissions, Citroen mineral oil suspension and braking systems, etc.
BWAH HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA PERRRRRFECT... 🤣😆😄😁👍🏾 ...I couldn't stop laughing after reading your comment!!!
@Bad Driving South Wales
(Still smiling so big my cheeks
hurt as I write this... LOL)
People who say a Leica 109 is exactly the same as a Panasonic LX 100 II probably have a Nikon Coolpix S550 - in Best Buy blue. People who say the Porsche Cayenne is the same as a VW Touareg probably drive a beat up Dodge Nitro. And people who say "daddy's money" usually have no money of their own or from their dad either.
All car is just a Benz in retarded form
@@MyMarsham err, no they both used Rolls Royce 6 3/4 engines which was still used by Bentley until about 2 years ago
A really good detailed summary. To present a Rolls Royce properly with the ultimate attention to detail, the air vents should be horizontal and the piston stops equally set to half way out. Seats should be equidistant with headrests down and parallel. Fans all set to soft. The upgraded music package wasn’t mentioned - it’s out of this word; you could do a whole review just about that.
Only in a Rolls-Royce can you get an older 2014 model that's looks like it has a competitive edge even against today's models, this is just gorgeous‼️✨️✨️
I feel like when they were deciding what to charge for the optional extras they just threw darts at a wall covered in post-it notes with big numbers written on them...
Yes, this is the "entry level" Rolls-Royce and it's based on the BMW 7 Series, but even if you spec a long wheelbase 7 Series with the most powerful V12 engine and pick literally every option, you'll still be about $100,000 away from the base price of a Ghost.
A BMW with a Rolls Royce body.
materials are on way another league with RR
A rolls owner would never buy a beemer and that's the end of it
@@shreyraj3054 They might buy one for the butler.
Those who can afford a RR, will not buy just the base spec...
I personally think you give the best reviews on TH-cam!!!
This is quite a review of a very nice luxury car. I did notice that when the engine hood was opened there were a few caps that looked a lot like caps on my 2011 BMW 328i. The oil cap on this car has the same shape as an oil cap on the BMW, but is labeled with RR for Rolls Royce. The windshield washer fluid cap is the same as BMW. Also what looks like a coolant expansion tank cap looks the same as the cap on the BMW. So unless a person is looking under the hood of the car they would not see any thing from BMW.
As much tech as these have, I'm surprised it doesn't have power sun visors. That woodwork though, is beautiful.
And also I've heard it be said that steering one of these majestic machines is like steering a cloud...

Doug, please make a full review on the GT3RS Watering Can.
Doug driving the Ghost the whole time was so calm … Calm Demuro.
NO ONE SHOWS A CAR LIKE YOU, DOUG! EPIC! Be happy, be safe
Glad to see Doug reviewing cars his subscribers can afford
yeah, homeboy made so much money he isnt in the same tax bracket
Not always expensive car reviews...
If you're reading this, next week will be the best for you so far! And for car enthusiasts, I hope you get your dream car by year's end! Recent Rolls are awesome!!
The details are making me fall in love with brand I already love.
13:57 I think opposite might be correct Doug. Power reserve falls as engine RPM rises. That`s why needle rests at 100%.
"Rolls Royce" and "Affordable" can never be in the same sentence. 🤣🤣
They're very reliable unless you drive them like a tank
Probably not to maintain, but when I lived in England I walked into a Bentley/RR service shop, they had like 15 cars for sale surprisingly cheap. There was a RR silver spirit II from 87 costing 11000£ , i couldn't believe it myself. I asked the manager to let me in and fell in love with the thing.
I LOVE the "conservative" styling of the Ghost,compared to the Phantom.....No outragous curves to grab the eye.......Just simplicity..........GREAT LOOKING CAR!!!!!!!!!
i just put my order in for this one. thanks for the review, Doug.
classically just bought one
Champagne FLUTES Doug, Flutes
11:06 That panel gap would drive me absolutely nuts especially if I paid $100,000 + for it.
It's 200k+ when it's new.
Buy one with 0 mile good for you🙌🏼
4:04 the price when new was $375,845
omg! I can't unsee!
Is it a panel gap or just a weird camera angle?
It seems like someone tried to open it manually.
Having driven these brand new from the factory ready for export, I can say that the rolls royce ghost is closer to a BMW 7 series than it is to a Phantom. Not to say that it *is* a seven series, but you drive them side by side and they are obviously related.
Driving a rolls royce phantom is very much like sailing a boat, in the nicest possible way.
For anyone wondering I worked for a vehicle import export company in the docks in England. The cars I regularly drove were rolls royce, jaguar, BMW, mini, Bentley, Aston Martin, McLaren, Range Rover etc. We also worked with dump trucks, tractors, excavators, etc from new holland, John deer and so on.
I don’t know why I think excavator would be even more fun than a Rolls-Royce. Well, a different kind of fun.
This sounds like you are one of the few people to have experienced just how much more comfortable your average modern tractor is to any car. I am still wondering why no car makers put individual seat suspension in these big SUVs they make these days.
@@JohnnyArtPavlou It absolutely is incredible fun, and getting a feel for how they drive and move is a steep learning curve. There's not a lot of standardisation like there is with cars, but they all work fairly similarly. We had to be extremely careful though, ship room is incredibly tight, so they'll be parked and stowed to very tight tolerances. If you move a lever wrong you could legitimately maim or kill a colleague, especially the stowers who guide you in for efficient use of space on deck.
I was a well trusted and specially trained staff member, so I had access to cars that new hires or those with spotty accident history wouldn't be able to drive, like the Rolls Royce Phantom and the particularly large machinery.
@@bogdanrus7953 Absolutely, modern trucks and agricultural machines have to be comfortable and will handily dispatch most cars. There have only been two cars with better comfort in my opinion; the rolls royce phantom and the Citroën C6 and C5 with hydropneumatic suspension.
@@joannaatkins822 Except any S-class.
Gorgeous work of art! I hope Jay Leno has these in his garage collection.
Doug speaking about vibes in a rolls royce is a vibe
Hey Doug, how come you haven't done a review for the W221 Mercedes S-Class of ~ 2007-13?
Looking forward to it when you do.
I’m waiting on him to do a review of the w219 CLS from 2005-2011 as well. Maybe he can review my CLS55 lol
Sometimes, the "lesser" luxury cars of a brand, are actually the best ones. I'd get a BMW 5 Series over a 7 Series, and an Audi A6 over an A8.
im curious as to your reasoning for that. value for money?
Rolls Royce doesn't have any "lesser" cars, they're all as high-end as it gets.
No way, have you ever been in an A8L?
I'm not sure about the A6 better than the A8, but it's true that a 5 Series well equipped could be a better option against a 7 Series for the money.
@@ieatcentipedesforbreakfast Better value, not only when initially buying, but also maintenance, insurance, repairs, fuel economy, etc.
Beautiful coach. Doug made his main point at 7:00 min- This is a 400k car, which is accessible on the used market at 100k. I love that. Would buy it in a minute.
Great video Doug and what incredible cars these are
Finally its out! I've waitied a long time for this!
Ty, Doug
MATURITY is knowing that if you pay less than $100,000 for a $400,000 car, you will end up paying $300,000 to maintain it.
Not if you ride in ghetto
100% true! payed $10k for my 08’ 335i vert and have put over $10k in it to make it run correctly

just got one last wk after a 2 yr wait. really great improvement over the last one
cant find you. n what did i win?
Youve explained the power reserve guage in reverse. At idle it says 100 because you have 100% available remaining. The faster you go the "lower" it goes on the guage so the needle actually shows you what's in reserve. Not what you're using as doug
explained it.
I feel this is the same Guage as the BMW fuel economy one just relabeled a power reserve.
@@Fleetwoodjohn It is.
Doug, you recorded this video in Jul 2021. Why did you just release it!! I just saw the preview of this when I was watching “Here Are My 10 Favourite Cool Cars for Under $20,000”
I like the process shirt. Miss seeing goshen rd in the driving portion of your vids. Perfect back road to open up on.
Magnificent! There are cars and then their is Rolls Royce 🇬🇧
Doug's the kind of guy to jump out of a Rolls Royce to hold the umbrella for his chauffeur
Upkeep and maintenance has to be a nightmare. Anything happens you have to buy straight from RR dealership
The front side cameras showed around 12:40 are actually pulled straight from BMW. The F10 and F01 5 and 7 series also have those cameras and it's pretty nice to have.
Another great video Doug, thanks.
My dad is thinking about one of these. Once he heard about the BMW underpinnings, he became nervous. Stepping from Lincoln Town Car's bulletproof reliability to BMW doesn't automatically equate to an upgrade; but he has been reassured from multiple reliable sources that BMW and Ghost are not the same. Now if he could only get my mom to release the purse strings....
keep the Lincoln town car I would choose one of those over a Rolls Royce any day
"how much to add an optional luxury feature?" "
Rolls Royce: "Yes."
I keep waiting for Rolls to start pricing their cars in the same way that they used to rate their engine horsepower... "Sufficient".
This is definitely your best shirt to date Doug
I think you said it best when you said that the ghost is the RR you drive. I would feel a bit foolish driving myself in a Phantom but if I were in the market for a ultra high luxury car that I would be driving myself, looking for something beyond S class then I guess it's either this or a Bentley.
S class looks way better than this (interior). I think mercedes hit peak of luxury with that car
It still really bothers me that the stalks are still plastic in such an expensive and luxurious cars there's just no excuse for it
Same here and the steering column cover is plastic and not leather covered, you dig deep you'll see the missed details
@@paulie-Gualtieri. Its not missed details at all. Do you know how much more the car would actually cost if they made EVERYTHING out of leather and aluminum? And how much longer it would take to produce the cars? Be realistic...
As a fellow plebeian I rely on Doug for my life experience 😂
Doug the kind of the guy to film his review on a rocky deserted road to avoid people talking to him
27:56 for some reason the way that Royce took that potwhole, it reminded me of my bmw 5 series, and my old 3 series lol
I prefer these all one colour they look so much better imo
"If you can't afford the real thing."
I can't imagine RR making a substandard vehicle under their badge.
I see the Phantom be a car to be driven in and the Ghost as the daily driver.
the real thing stopped being made when bmw took over
Well thought out Q&F, I think RR were proving a point with this car.
Love it! Cheers Doug 👍
I love that even a Genesis G90 these days has almost everything you see here including heated and cooled rear memory seats and great materials all around - the difference is they're standard on the top trim at around 1/5 of the price of this car...That being said, if you want leather all the way at the Bottom of your doors and beautiful materials even Under your seat, you cough up the half a million and get a Rolls Royce lol. That's the kind of detail you're paying for.
Can gaurentee that a Genosis does not have the same level of detail a Rolls has. The amount of sound deadening that goes into a rolls is in itself a feat of engineering.
Right and to be fair we are comparing a brand new luxury car to an ultra luxury car from a decade ago.
This is the Rolls Royce I would buy. More maneuverable than a Phantom but more extra space than a Wraith.
I have one for sale 👍🏼
When Doug was in the back seat strolling through the center console infotainment screen options, I noticed a "panic mode". Curious to know what the Phantom would do in this mode lol. What a car lol
this is my favorite car too drive, i use mine daily as my exotics come out on nice weekends
In a way, the umbrellas in the front make more sense since you want the driver to be holding the umbrella before he opens the back door. If you put it in the back there is a greater chance for the rain to wet the back seat passengers because the driver has to open the umbrella.
Yeah affordable if your Hoovie or Doug DeMuro
Wow that hidden compartment in the back is perfect for a small baggy
This uses the same chassis as a ghost, but the current one doesn't. Working at RR in Goodwood and seeing them finished is amazing to see
The engines are also quite different I believe. The Rolls is stroked and rated at 6.75l. whereas the BMW engine is listed as a 6.6. If I could I would go for the Ghost with the extended wheelbase. Better looking than the Phantom too, IMHO
It's a marketing thing. Proper Rolls-Royce must have a 6 3/4 liter engine, it's a tradition
I always thought the Phantom was for being driven in, and the Ghost was for the Owner/Operator. Definitely more daily driver friendly I would think.
@Spike16 I mean, if I had that kind of money I’d probably buy a dawn. And you should tell that to all the people that bought cullinans when they came out 🤷♂️
@Spike16 the Ghost has more features than the phantom. If you bought a phantom to drive then you're just paying extra to have an extra couple of feet behind you.
12:20 my 5 series has the same cameras.... Very handy in parking lots and city streets.
A random Joel Embiid basketball t-shirt from Goodwill while sitting in a half a million dollar car. Doug is such a GOAT
Fun fact: Doug filmed this review a year ago.
Want proof? Check out his video from July 18th 2021, "Here Are My 10 Favorite Cool Cars for Under $20,000". Doug is standing right there at this location with this exact RR, advertising Cars & Bids.
Feel old yet?
Rilly?
Its definitely older. His intro for cars and bids was in front of the Cygnet which was already released
Yep, he's even wearing the same t-shirt in the intro.
Nice sleuthing. To me the 2 giveaways were the incessant use of the words "party trick" and the GT3RS watering can.
I also noticed the Lincoln blackwood in the background. Maybe the person owns both?
This has to be one of the greatest auto review shows ever. For a point of reference,the last Doug vid I watched was him squeezed into a
meter maid vehicle.Then this. Brilliant. Equal enthusiasm in both reviews.
9:10 and that is why I love Rolls Royce. Things you wouldn't even think about are of the utter finest quality. 🤧🥺🙌🏾🥳🥰
Real OG's appreciate any good plebian reference in a review!
Doug I love you man, thanks for making my day with your videos and thanks for all the effort you put into them ❤️
Wow that was cringe
It certainly looks better than the phantom from that generation and arguably the current, they are a bit too boxy for me.
I think the opposite, the phantom from those times was the best looking
@@marciliojunior4919 well, everyone has a personal opinion, I definitely see where you’re coming from, the previous phantom definitely has a strong presence.
Those stars on the centre console look lovely
My guess for the rear hinged door is for them to have somewhere to put the motor for the power-closing door trick
