What’s your favorite Rolls-Royce on tsp.TrueCar.com?
DAWN
The least expensive ghost
Wraith for sure
Ghost. To be perfectly honest, I think I prefer the Ghost over the Phantom. The Ghost's styling is the perfect modern interpretation of what a Rolls-Royce should be, without completely abandoning its roots, like Mercedes have done with the latest S-class.
Dawn. Only cabriolet with 4 adults fitting in comfortably
My friend in LA had a Phantom (with aftermarkets 24" rims) back in 2006. My best friend and I got to be a passenger in it for a couple of hours. Most comfortable car I have experienced by a land slide to this day. It was like riding a magic carpet and we were totally isolated from the world around us. Definitely my dream daily driver.
You must have never ridden in late 80’s / early 90’s Cadillac’s!!!
It’s funny you mentioned magic carpet ride. That’s what Rolls-Royce calls their suspension systems. You literally cannot feel a bump in the road while riding in a Rolls-Royce. It’s pure automotive perfection that is unlike anything else. There’s a reason why Rolls-Royce has no real competition in the ultra luxury market.
@@jaygats3842 I can almost guarantee a modern phantom rides better then an 80s Cadillac as good as they ride for the price, there’s so much money put into it just riding insanely good there’s no way it doesn’t ride better.
What does yo friend do for a living? I need to know
@@jaygats3842 People will hate me for this, but a 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood is legitimately more comfortable than a BMW 7-Series imo
It is obvious how well insulated it is. The acoustics are like a studio, rather than a car. Just listen to how clean and echo free their voices are.
Your audio recording gear is so good that when you whisper around 8:00, you can hear you two clearly. It also speaks to the sound dampening in that vehicle.
What is someone honks at them. Would they even hear it.
“Psh my driver wouldn’t be caught dead in a Maybach” - the person buying this
One advertised feature that Maybach has that Rolls doesn't talk about is: factory installed armor plating, which, for guys like us, is a major concern.
@@gmb858 what about dor squeeking?
@@gmb858I agree , I also prefer the subtleness of the maybach if styled correctly.
Facts 😂
@@gmb858 when You driven in a RR you don’t have enemies, after all it is Your Country, bought fair and square… 😂
I was on the fence, but you guys sold me. My next vehicle will be a Rolls Royce Phantom!
Congrats!
Lol sure they did , enjoy your Honda civic 😂
@@frankcastle1578 Hey, don't knock my car. Yes, it's 14 years old. But it runs and it's paid for.
Flex on em Gerald
Dreamer
Beautiful car. I’ve always had love for both Rolls & Bentley, their stuff is on another level of luxury.
Still cant compete with S-Class or Maybach.
Rolls Royce can learn alot from S-Class.
@@ElectronicHouseFlash Like what?
@@ElectronicHouseFlash you’re delusional. Rolls Royce is the pinnacle of luxury
@@mg77045 If you want to get a better Car than Rolls Royce the only choose is Maybach. RR is only for prestige, Maybach has the better Technology and History. RR is good for show off, a classic beautiful English Car.
@@ElectronicHouseFlash The S Class, is just a tarted up German Taxi, and the Maybach is just a tarted up S Class.
Well,the Phantom is my favorite so thank you very much! I enjoyed the vid very much. I currently own an 87 Silver Spur for 20 years now and love her to death.
These vehicles never 'look' old whatever the year. Would like an older Phantom (can't afford the new one either) but I need a place to store her.
I wish this level of craftsmanship and artistic expression was available to more folks. So classy and inspiring
I actully knew a guy that traded in a civic in for a new Phantom. He said the RR dealer didn't even act jugmental about it. The employees were genuinely passionate about their cars.
That's an old trick at the car dealership, act happy to about the trade-in even if it will be over at LoBaller Wreckers getting weighed for scrap in about five minutes. It a psychological thing for the previous owner, the babies got a new loving home or something like that.
The wheels don't look terrible, but equally they also look like what you'd get on a modern Kia hybrid, not an RR costing hundreds of thousands.
The spinners would be okay if you're the buyer making serious bank playing in the NBA.
This is my dream car too because it's the last car to focus on true luxury BUT I don't like how ostentatious they are. That's what I loved about the VW Phaeton's concept. So I'd love this ride, feel, luxury and build quality but skinned as something less "look at me and how much money I have." Since these cars are designed to be status symbols, I doubt that car will ever exist and I'd just have to customize something but Rolls Royce quality with understatement is what I want.
That's why I prefer Bentley's. I hope to get a W12 Bentley Continental GT in the future. I think it is the perfect combination of speed, comfort, and luxury. They're also very sleek and more understated than Rolls Royces, which is nice.
@@Steve-sz4bh Still too showy for me.
You boys are killin it in Cali! The videos are amazing as usual. Can't wait for more.
Thanks. Still 2 more!
The one thing that bothers me In Rolls cars, is that the driver can close the front doors electrically, but not the rear ones. The driver should be able to control all the doors.
You know how the LED DRLs are a solid line, I'd love to see the entire headlamp as a solid block of light like Ironman's eyes
Soon, that’s definitely the future.
They already do that 2018-2022
@@brentboost2879 no
@@brentboost2879 the Grand Cherokee looking ones get close
very creative
These cars are always so cool. I will never own one, but it's always nice to see a video on these.
Buy one and you're gonna love it
@@life-pm5xl you have 800k that you can give me?
One of your best videos. You guys were chirping "living large" in Malibu. If people are looking for the coolest drive, the Malibu Canyon roads are the best.
It doesn’t matter if you’re in an F40 or a Civic, you’ll feel like a celebrity going through those canyons.
@@flacht_6 agreed.... even in a beater Honda Civic low rider...
Starting my morning out with a banger!
Close to a million dollars is crazy when the s class and maybach exist, not the same level but still.
The rich just by these for the name.
True , however if you’re considering a car at this prize level money probably isn’t an object.
Exactly....The new RR Phantom refresh was about 500k -600K at max and now they just change some minor details like headlights and bump price to 800k, That is wild.
To be fair, this is million dollar quality
Yeah, the Circular DRLs looked a bit more haunting and "Ghost"-like if I may say. Fit the haunting beauty of the car
The RR Phantom is in the top tier of luxury cars reserved for your Masters of the Universe (or people with a lot of money who want you to look at them). Personally, if I had one I wouldn't really care about the front seats. Unless it's the chauffer's day off, anyone who owns a Phantom belongs in the back seat. It's really too bad that Bentley stopped making the Mulsanne a few years ago.
That has Changed. A Lot of Rolls Royce Clients like to drive themselves
The starlight headlights have less presence but the devil is in the details right? I love how they look from up close! ❤️
Also, Congratulations on your first Phantom review! 🙌🏻
The DRL’s look like the new Honda Accord now.
@@jr1885 Totally, I agree!
I think the details of this and the Rolls line are very much dated
@@Yachtzeee Yes, they are! I actually prefer the Bentley Flying Spur's details but I thought it was some sort of "Knowing your target audience" because for some reason I expect people of an older age buying a Rolls-Royce so maybe that's why they have more classic styling 🤔
@@Bmontepeque11 I 💯 agree with you on that. I even find the leather work far superior and a better ride.
For a lost voice, soar throat take a Halls Honey Lemon cough drop ONLY (the others for some reason don't work as well) and put it in some hot water so it melts and sip.
Thanks. My voice actually returned. The accord video was filmed after this one
Preferred the last headlight design. They had more presence.
who’s to say this luxury barge doesn’t have presence
That’s how all of BMW is going sadly. Ultra minimalist
Yeah, these look like the new Honda Accord.
@@malwallace3041 BMW, minimalist? Yeah, right. They have some of the most offensive designs on the market currently.
@@jr1885 well, minimalist doesn't mean innoffensive
That intro with the doors was ::chefs Kiss::
Meet n greet in LA! Always say to myself, “crazy I been here in GTA” as well the 10 turns into the 1 lol
800k for Starlight Headlights is insane. This car was already expensive enough and now they just made it right under a million and it makes me not appreciate it even more
I understand the clientele likes the design and while I can't afford one, I still think It definitely needs a refresh. That design has been around for about 20 years. If I had the money, I would rather have a Bentley Flying Spur at a 1/3 of the cost.
The clock in the dash is worth more than all my cars.
Great video! Unlike other highways in CA PCH is not “The PCH” its just “PCH” 😉
I'm impressed you can have the heated and cooled seats on at the same time. Wonder what that feels like haha
It’s like when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object
Trading in my Forte for this💯👌
Definitely in a class of its own hopefully you can get yours soon Jakob
Amazing I had to buy 7 of them in all different colors.
Never Orange interior though, I ain't no Orange kinda dude LOL
But it definitely filled a hole in me soul for a few hours...
The slow self-closing doors started this one off with a chef’s kiss, lol
Hi guys;
The one thing the Rolls, didn't have was a partition, that separates, the driver from the passenger.
My mother rented a Rolls, for her birthday, decades ago and the chauffeur, asked to drop the partition, to ask directions, to the Joan Rivers, concert. Long Island, N.Y.
All the best
Shaun of New York City🗽
The dinner plate wheels definitely look the best.
2:00 Those Starlight Headliner Headlights SOLD ME!
You guys should definitely come down to LA more often! Let us fans take you out for drinks/coffees/group rides through the mountains!
I'm sure they would, if you have the right kind of car. Like a Bugatti.
Would have been interesting to go over the option list that the car had and how much they gouge, I mean charge for the various options. like $5000 for apple carplay etc
RR have an infinite option list. That video would go on for days.
They can make you a rolls royce fully plated in gold if you want. Just like he said the list is unlimited.
@@nicholasdipilla6993 and it’s all real for sure for sure
@@krane15they could mention 5 interesting options at least
@@stephancunningham2024plated gold isn’t like gold on a necklace or watch. It’s super thin. And any gold on something is usually 18K anyway so it’s 75% actual gold.
I always think of the end of the movie Arthur when Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli are standing next to his Rolls-Royce, his chauffeur opens the back door of the car and Arthur ( Dudley Moore) asks Liza Minnelli
Dudley Moore: Have you ever been in a Rolls?
Liza Minnelli: No is it nice?
Dudley Moore: Well it doesn’t suck.
I really like the New Rolls Royce Phantom actually
If I had this car, I’d drive without shoes on and make sure all my passengers take their shoes off 😂
The man says please subscribe (7.55). I oblige because he sounded very honest.
Thanks for subscribing, we are always honest
OMG! M so glad because your success is our success the moment I saw the thumbnail of phantom 2023 being reviewed by both of u I was in tears of joy .
KEEP THIS CHANNEL GROWING
Thanks Rick 🙏
Get better soon Jakob.🙂 Good review fellas.👍
When you get in, you’re not entering a world of high-end luxury, you’re being relieved of the world outside.
Man, I just replaced the motor mounts in my 09 Vibe (205k) and I thought I was sitting in the lap of luxury regarding how smooth it is now lol.
It's interesting to see how quickly the RR depreciates.
The whole car is a peasant blocker
😂🤣
Cleanest door close intro 👌
So no car in LA have a plate on??
Those starry light headlamps are beautiful.
Omg I love the videos and the reviews alike. The comedy and lightness in conversation is quite refreshing. Yuri is so cute 😍
I just bought a 2013 Honda Odyssey with the rotary dial infotainment and I'm loving it lmao
I will drive something else for the weekly grocery run and save the Rolls Royce for special occasions !
Can confirm as a Canadian whenever a website makes me put in a zip code i just type 90210.
I would think that this drive was one to treasure and remember forever…..
It certainly would be for me!
Long live the v12! Hold on to the very last min ol friend
1:38 I like the fact you guys use a CX-5 as a cam mobile
Good that they spared RR, I like how they decided not to be too drastic like BMW did.
Also same 17:13
Yes! So cool seeing it on video before I have mine! ❤️❤️
Bro why am I watching this with $100 in my account 😵
Love the intro!
How many takes was it to get those automatic doors to close at the same time in the intro?
2 this time. Pathetic
@@TheStraightPipes Idea… you should do a compilation of door close takes again! I think you had something like that once, but haven’t seen that in a while.
The glass over the dash reminds me of plastic wrapped furniture
The quietest video that StraightPipes have ever made!
I can't decide if I should get this or a 2009 Chevy HHR. Hmmm decisions
What kind of range do you get? Is there a special place to refuel without associating with riff raff?
chauffeur obligation to have it always full and in range to do at the very least Monaco - Bellagio
There are service companies who wash your car and fill up the tank in your driveway.
Yes please! More SoCal videos!!
Yuri is so much better! Glad to see he seems happy :)
*the center caps would be considered "floaters"*
Can we have a video where the fans get to ride in the luxury car and be part of the review.
You guys always do a Great Job! Always been a fan of the Rolls Royce and so fun watching your review. New Subscriber! 🙂
Thanks so much Marty
GREAT VID GUYS! I was expecting a Grey Poupon moment but never happened. Still gave it a thumbs up.
"You see the double R. This ain't no Lexus Jaguar"
What does the seat feel like when its being heated and cooled at the same time?
@3:04 The word you're looking is "Floaters" instead of anti-spinners.
Ultimate car for its use, great video!
A Rolls Royce Phantom is basically a plane on wheels 🙌🏿🔥
I honestly like the 2019 headlights way better!
Cali sun looks good on y’all…. Hope y’all enjoyed yourselves!
That purple is gorgeous. Definitely not blue.
Is there any chance you guys will ever drive a Bentley and/or Austin Martin (sedan) , seeing how you have driven Rolls Royce; McLaren, & Maybach?
Love the metal g shock
Roll Royce’s are nice I’ve been in the suv in Dubai and it’s amazing when you get in a luxury car you don’t want to go and drive a standard car
I am sorry but that little yellow triangle sticker in the headlights on my 800k car would drive me nuts lol.
Perfect timing! A Nigerian prince is supposed to wire me a million dollars after I deposited money into his account, so I am thrilled to see a video of the car I am going to buy!
The anti-spinners are called floating center caps, at least that's what Mini calls them
2:48 beautiful wheel
Damnnn you guys reviewed a phantom .. that’s eliteeeeee ❤
Nice review keep up the good work
If they redesign the rear end, that would be a great looking car
Not that I could afford one anyway 😂😭
I just randomly searched up your channel
LMAO, you two look tiiiiny in the intro in that huge ass car! 😂😆
Driving a RR, rockin' socks from Costco. Respect.
Socks and gyros
I saw one in a Burger King drive-thru once.
Please Return to Canada. Missing the Canadian prices and details. We need more CanCon auto news.
Must be a dream going thru malibu cyn rd. Gorgeous car.
Feel better angelic jake.
I like the Ghost as well.
