Used Rolls Royce - The Unmistakable Air of Superiority

If there is one vehicle that is considered the very pinnacle of wealth, taste and luxury in Great Britain, it simply has to be the Rolls Royce Phantom. Ever since its initial incarnation in 1925, the Rolls Royce Phantom has embarked upon a ceaseless evolution bringing it right up to date with a modern coupe version. Despite all this changing and developing, the Phantom has never lost what made it stick out from the other prestige cars; the unmistakable air of superiority.

Having been lucky enough to drive the latest 2008 Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe, I can testify that there really has never been a car that feels so luxurious and assured. It is also probably the chunkiest car I have ever had the privilege of sitting inside.

The six speed automatic gearbox is probably the only facet of this car that lets the side down. Despite the 6.75 Litre V12 Engine having the necessary power to pull this behemoth along very quickly, the automatic gearbox always feels slightly out of sync and never quite changes up or down when you want it to, especially at speeds. This is quite a petty complaint however, as I don't think i have ever seen a Rolls Royce Phantom accelerate above a canter, it is a car that is meant to be driven slowly and leisurely.

With all this opulent exuberance comes a steep price which few of us mere mortals will ever be able to afford. That is unless you check the Used Rolls Royce market, which due to the depreciation in value of prestige cars, can hold some very good quality nearly new bargains.
