Everything is so gentle, smooth, soothing, that even just merely watching the video feels like a more relaxing experience than any other POV of any other car.
The drive was exactly that - a giant sigh of relief
but is it worth 4k tho
@@BmwMe-uh9sy no, i would say about $628,300 is the price i would pay.
No.
I think the reasons for the lack of steering/lane assist are 1) these cars are meant to be chauffeured in and a professional driver would be more adept than the software, and 2) BMW lane-keeping is great, but not perfect or smooth, which would disturb the occupants
i mean, if i can buy a car that expensive (not that i expect myself to be able to buy one of those) i wouldn't mind driving it myself. like there's no point of making a car that comfortable to drive then putting a self driving assistant and let an AI drive your expensive car, i would drive it by myself every single day
@@suisegs69420 It's because we are poor, if we are rich enough to afford one we wouldn't care to drive. We won't mind to drive but there is no point. Our time/comfort/relaxation would be way more important that any satisfaction from driving cars. We would use the time to do business deals or care about millions of dollars. I've worked for a millionaire whose time is so precious that he wouldn't have seconds to spare for anything other than his businesses.
@@suisegs69420 It's a mindset shift. RR's are known to only be driven by chauffeurs and not the owners themselves. Other cars that are more 'sporty' are usually meant to be driven, Lambo, Ferrari, and even Bentleys, at leas that's what I've heard so far.
@@RandomVideos-yz5qf thats actually pretty wrong. i see RRs on the daily where i live and its almost always their owners driving
@@sweetkalibur Never see them where I live so I can't speak on it. Just speaking from what I see and hear online and in the media.
What's crazy is the "No quieter car" is very accurate. At one point the designers made the car so quiet that you'd go insane, so they had to hold back. This is as quiet as you can ever get. Without losing your mind.
Yup, they put in almost 300 pounds of acoustic foam, and their tires have literal foam in them, which reduces road noise by nine decibels. They had to remove some of the acoustic foam so that you wouldn't suffer from sensory deprivation.
@@ReturnOfMonke I wonder if one can custom make a bently to be completely silent. I love "sensory overload" where you can hear your own heartbeat. I'd go to them and say "I dare you to make a 0 decibel car going 100kmh".
I LOVE his talking, it's just one of the things, graceful, descriptive, unbiased and sincere. One of the many things that attracts me to watch these videos that he makes. ❤
The insurance and monthly car payments are worth being upset about
If you're broke yes
@@ridgefrost it's not that if you're broke, but if you have a decent Job you still can't afford one.
@@aspinthereddragon9302 I think that’s the point. It’s not made for someone with a “decent job”. Lol
@@aspinthereddragon9302 rolls royces aren't for people with "decent jobs", this is why u need a financial advisors, if you're not making 100 grand u really shouldn't be spending 1k or anything unless its absolutely necessary, so to pay for a 500k + car u need to be making atleast 10x that
Bro… Come on🤦🏾♂️
The starlight headliner is actually fiber optic wires not mini LED's. Its pretty cool how they do it.
I stand corrected! That's awesome.
It's great to watch the shooting stars
tho the lights come from led anyways
@@Omniverseeee yee ofc, im just saying there’s not a bunch of tiny LED’s in the headliner, just a few large ones
@@fuze3522 ye ye
What a pleasant review of a motorcar that most will never get anywhere near much less own. Your articulate and eloquent description of the driving experience was sublime! It is so nice to hear the English language used as it was intended to convey a 'being there' experience unlike most other car reviewers. I was surprised that under spirited acceleration the engine sound was detectable and some road noise when riding over mottled pavement and expansion joints. It appears that this review occurred in California as there were many upper end cars (Bentley Continental, Mercedes G wagon, Tesla(s), among others) passing by. Thanks for a most expressive review of the Phantom!
The neighborhood you did the POV drive test in is a petrolhead's dream. A Porsche Panamera here, a Bentley Continental there, not forgetting the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in the flank, and of course, the Tesla Model S. Oh, and did I mention the glorious R107 SL just swooping by? Thanks for taking us with you on your drive. That Phantom is fantastically luxurious.
that's SoCAL, pacific coast highway. Bentley and Rolls Royce are not rare. In Beverly Hills, you see Bentley as common as you see toyota in other neighborhoods. see effspot beverly hills videos.
Newport Beach. PCH. Laguna Beach. Those areas. Wonderful
True! The Bel Air country club area is definitely a luxury car lover's dream!! I wasn't surprised when he made that one finger right hand turn there.
Shiteload of them in NW Florida out of all places...
Speaking as a petrol head none of the cars you mentioned even remotely interest me lol. Hyundai and Teslas? Nah 😂
These reviews are so cool! I don't want to own a luxury car (not that I could even pretend to afford one lol) but it's so cool to see what one looks like inside and out while also seeing how it drives. Great video 📹
I'm glad you enjoyed the experience! Thanks for watching
The machining is so good that the heads don’t even use a gasket
You can own one if you marry a man who has one the great Anna Nicole Smith once said
@@scundoorsup5342so it comes with free fireworks cool
@@scundoorsup5342 really?
Love your videos. Quick tip… If you slowly increase your camera shutter speed you’ll eventually find a sweet spot that stops the light flicker from the vehicles LED lights.
I love this car. It's so extra. Not having a touch screen and putting something that's basically just a showpiece behind the glass that serves no other purpose is such a giant middle finger to all current trends in car design.
This.
Yeah its also very unreliable and expensive to own ! Fantastic
@@sigmamale4147 That's basically everything these days. But if you can afford this car, chances are you don't really care. You're probably leasing it through your company and you've got 3 S classes waiting in the wings when the rolls gets sent to the garage.
@@lamenamethefirst lol no, toyota and honda are still reliable brands
@@sigmamale4147 I'm talking about the luxury car market. But even Toyotas aren't as reliable as they were a decade ago. Cars are getting more complicated and less reliable as a result.
This is 1st PoV drive I've ever seen (plus I've sadly never driven a Rolls!) and it's interesting how the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament can be used to line yourself up in lanes. It seems to be really useful for showing you where the other side of the wide body is sitting on the road.
To me Rolls-Royce we're always up there, no competition can touch it. I'm glad to see it's still the same. Even the best Maybach doesn't have the attention to details a Rolls have.
For ultimate comfort, I'd choose the Phantom but for the price and technology/performance/driving-feel I'd choose the Flying Spur
agreed! rolls royce’s are just too extra for me. personally, id go for the Continental GT because i don’t have anybody to put in the back of the Spur lol
Yeah the Flying Spur is the best combination of tech, comfort, driving, brand cachet, price. Naim sound system for good measure and you have the best sound system in cars.. Maybe outside of Burmester 4D
@@danielmiller9012 I've never seen a Naim test video but I bet it's great ! Bowers&Wilkins does also a great sound system
Pssst, you can buy BOTH if you have money to buy one.
Cute you think you’ll ever afford one if you can and you have time to drive it you’re a bad person
I’m so glad that I came across with your channel, it really tells the feeling of that car and vibe, that I felt I indeed traveling with you in that car.
Woah, I love the aerodynamics on this car, especially the front. It was clearly shaped by wind. The front is like a vertical wall. So sleek.
If my net worth was the equivalent of the British monarchy, nothing less than a Rolls Royce Phantom would do. The Phantom is an Olympian Conveyance that commands attention from everyone near. Other vehicles come close but there's no comparison. Thanks for the video drive review, Miles. KZhead is as close as I'll ever get to a Series II Phantom.
Unless you ever visit SoCal, Edd! I'll arrange a loan to chauffeur you, my friend.
@@MilesPerHr Very cool, Miles! I can take out a loan for the fuel. Does the Phantom sip regular, premium or champagne? 😎
@@eddstarr2185 😂😂 Definitely premium only. No wine in a box. 🤣
@@theecarking Could I get by with "Chateau Pepsi" in the Champagne cooler?
For narcissistic people.
I would love me a Rolls Royce but I would choose a Bentley over a RR anyday of the week. Bentley is made to be driven while RR is made to be driven in. Bentley's are absolute powerhouses as well, reaching well over 320+ km/h in no time. Still a pretty car this Phantom!
Phantom is to be driven in, but the ghost and other models are very much drivers cars
Rolls is way nicer and more expensive
I agree. I’m debating my next car. I could certainly use the practicality of a pickup truck as I’m constantly hauling cargo for commercial buildings. But I would certainly consider going further upscale to a Flying Spur as well.
@@jumboJetPilot if you're hauling stuff for commercial buildings that could possibly damage your vehicle I would definitely not go with a 200k+ vehicle😂 unless you are rolling in cash i'd say why not buy both lol
@@Dylantuning1995 crazy that I’m looking at such a crazy variety of vehicles! I might buy the truck first and something nicer a year or two later. I have an Audi A6 that I’ve turned into a pure utility vehicle! I’ll haul sometimes 40 gallons of paint at a time, ladders, boxes of paper files, etc. I can’t hardly believe what I can fit in there! But my A6 is starting to burn a lot of oil now.
this is so relaxing to watch, thank you❤
11:40 guy on honda after going home: "Today, I overtook a rolls. Best day of my life"
If I had the money to buy a Phantom, I could probably also buy all of the cars you mentioned. Great video! Best POV I've ever seen.
Finally!!! I love you miles, your literally the best car reviewer
Thank you for your support!
I had a ghost 2 years ago and… I can only imagine how quiet this thing is! It was truly relaxing to be inside that car.
What a remarkable and luxurious vehicle. Rolls-Royce never cuts any corners. Great POV drive review of the 2023 RR Phantom! THX, MPH.
Everything about that interior is pure art
One nice touch that is noticeable is that Rolls Royce stayed with the traditional analog gauge dashboard in front of the driver and did not use a computer screen style dashboard and did not use the huge computer screen dashboard that is found on Tesla cars. Being an older person I prefer the old style analog dashboard to the computer screen dashboard and find the analog style dashboard to be a lot more attractive. So one thing that can be counted on by Rolls Royce is conservative styling, nothing radical or highly different.
this car has been my favorite for as long as I can remember. I want to drive this beauty someday.
the love i have to this car .... on another level.... keep doing the best .. 💪💯
G Class was probably like, Wtf's up with this guy? 😂
First one I saw in person was in early 2000's. The big thing the new owner was showing off then was also the umbrellas built-into the doors. I would use $400K to show off in some other way. RR Phantom makes me think of the 80's movie Arthur. Maybe because the old school, "look at me I'm rich" styling is still there. Not for me but neat test drive, though!
So nice, You know the English language. Thank you. I can listen without getting headaches.
The way you narrate and drive that vehicle and the camera quality makes me feel like I’m in the car
It's an absolutely beautiful spec. My only complaint is that the interface with all those goofy large brightly colored icons seems so out of place, like a Fisher Price kids' tablet. There should be an option for a greyscale palette. I think it would appear more classy if you could switch to that so it doesn't clash with the car's interior aesthetic.
Lovely car, one of my dreams. How is it so calming and smooth??
Thanks for showing the engine!
Great review of phantom I have ever seen in detailed
Cool review 💪 Question for the experts - what are the options a buyer can expect on customization? I’d guess many potential owners would have the digital dash removed for analog and all of the cheaper plastic buttons re-done in steel or carbon?
You would be sat down to decide on deep, detailed bespoke customization, it all depends what your willing to spend
The 2023 Rolls Phantom I think is more imposing and distinctive than the Maybach. It is surprising that the phantom has no USB at the rear seats nor any wireless charging at all for such a price point.
What's that dial on the instrument cluster (on the left) that's clocked all the way to the right?
This video is so good and chill that I almost fell a sleep xd
car looks so nice gonna have one one day
That purple with pink coachline is NOT IT my brother LOL Love your videos!
Right?! Lovely car but not in those colours. A blacked out hood on a RR?
Definitely not my taste. Thanks for the support!
Great review, very vivid. Thank you
Love the pov aspect reviews! Wow! This thing is glorious! It looks so quiet and comfy I could just honestly live in it! 😅😆👍🏻 beautiful car and top notch asmr! 👌🏻 pure tranquility!
so good🤩🤩
You researched that RR 100%, you presented that RR 100%, no other presenter has done such an excellent production IMO so I hail you Sir, you can definitely go on my favourites! Oh, and by the way, no decent Brit would even consider getting a BMW or a Volkswagen pretending to be English! lol
"Oh, and by the way, no decent Brit would even consider getting a BMW or a Volkswagen pretending to be English" lol... BMW owns Rolls Royce, idiot.
@@Dan-ce3sd Yes, that is EXACTLY what I wrote, put your glasses on knobhead!
The view, out over that hood, is priceless!!!
Just watching this video made me feel so comfortable i literally was falling asleep in my car lol.
No ventilated rear seats? Jeep grand Cherokee gets it for 70k
I mean it's a Rolls-Royce so I'm pretty sure it's a option
Everything costs extra, but everything is available.
Lexus RX gets it for about 55k
But does your 70k Jeep get a spirit of ecstasy and an art gallery?
Shut up
I love Rolls Royce!
It seems so smooth and easy to drive that machine... it must be a relaxing experience
Im really curious... how did you even get your hands on that key mate? Congrats and great vid!
Great review and drive! If I wanted to be chauffered, the RR Phantom can't be beatened. However, the Bentley Flying Spur is more of a driver's car and much more engaging driving experience.
Can confirm, nothing can get to you when you're in a rolls royce. You just feel good when you're in one
Rented a Bentley on a trip and I definitely know what you mean.
I think even the message or content you delivered while in Rolls Royce felt sthg like more elegant and luxurious
I love the way the guy was doing the commentary of this car! Lol 😆
Really love the car ❤️❤️❤️
We have a 2014 Flying Spur W12. It must be totally different from a Phantom, which I've never driven. The steering is anything but light and actually quite heavy and substantial. You could never drive it with one finger! Definitely more of a drivers car than a Rolls Royce.
That is Bentley's major difference.
That's precisely right. The Flying Spur is one to drive, not be driven in. It's engaging and controls its substantial weight superbly.
@@MilesPerHr why does the car have transperant glass instead of tinted glass?
Have you noticed the hazard warning sign on the left side mirror? Neat.
STUNNING
If anything this has a very American style and vibe to it. I wonder if Rolls Royce is starting to target a marketplace 😛
probably but much more likely to be China and the Middle East these days
They're targeting "new rich" clientele who care more about social status than financial stability. Instantly rich and spending it on unnecessary stuff that will rapidly depreciate.
Yes, Demetrius Marcus and Johnny Smith from Detroit and California, respectively, who care more about their social status than credit score.
Yeah, the guy above has right. China, Middle East are the future markets, and especially China, so it totally make sense to focus on those for RR.
North America is a bigger market than China for Rolls Royce in 2022. 35% US, 25% China, 20% Europe, 10% Middle East. I think the long term economic outlook for the US and Canada looks more stable than China.
I can think of one thing that upsets me. *I CAN'T FRICKIN AFFORD IT*
Hi 👋 Miles Thank you for Sharing 👍😊
Exiting that tunnel felt like u exited into a parallel universe 17:43
Love love love
No tinted windows is criminal
The car in which many dream of being driven... One day with another... Still aiming high. Hopefully one day life will give me the opportunity.
4:44 - That umbrella click is definitely more satisfying than the door shutting.
Another thing to consider when buying one of these is that they aren't produced in gasoline/diesel variants - they are fuelled with champagne, so availability of wineries nearby is a must.
14:19 the popular one😅
I need a video of driving this at sunset
Thanks for this autovideo
Dream car. I'd have to hire a driver and make a lot more money, but it'd be worth it.
I just bought one.
would love a photo of your camera and what setup you got on hear head/helmet
Simply Excellent!
you could literally buy 3 maybachs for the price of this phantom. Thats enough reason alone for me to choose the maybach, its the better option in terms of price to luxury. You're not getting an extra 400k worth of luxury by going up to the phantom.
Turn up to the red carpet in your three Maybachs and guess what? Nobody will care. They are way too popular. Turn up in a Phantom and the crowd will run from your Maybach to see who just turned up...
@@Mk1Male Not everyone buys these to show off lol. Unless you're worth over 15 million, the Phantom is not worth the premium of a fricken house. Plus go enjoy your 400k on a sports car
Yes, but if you have Rolls-Royce money, I promise you, you aren't thinking "I could buy 3 of these instead". If you want the Rolls, you buy it. If you want the Maybach, you buy it too (not instead).
@@MilesPerHr or you buy both
14 MPG is not bad at all considering it's a big and a heavy car.
Wow I’ve known a thing or two about cars for a long time now. First your the best I’ve ever seen at explaining drive quality and I have watched a lot of KZhead reviewers. On the original note I did not know bmw owned rolls Royce. I had to pause the video like…. Wow!
I like how it has the collinan side mirror design
200k options? You can buy a base Flying spur with the options.
I would never buy this car for over $ 600k because it has no pano roof and no illuminated front grill for that price 😂
10:34 new motivation quote
that classic looking cluster.. take notes every other car being made right now.. keep it simple and beautiful
Money is sweet 😋
First!
Had one , love it !!
I like this car. It's massive, but peaceful at the same time. Almost magical.
5fth
I like to change the engine oil myself and I was always frustrated by how the oil flows on the bar in this one.
The pinstripe is a very classy touch
great review
What bullet proof rating does it have?
at 11:12 I noticed there was a warning or attention light on the left side view mirror, that's not a feature I've seen before - Is it to alert you of incoming vehicles that are near you?
8:51 That horn sounds expensive...lol...legend ;)
Did you film this in Wellington/West Palm Beach Florida?
I think after completing my IIT this year, I am coming to U.S. for settlement and to buy this beast. Hard work in progress. Juat some few more months.
❤ love this car .. feel like I own this 😊🎉 I own Hyundai Venue SX but this seems riding in sea of honey ...I will try flying spur but will definitely go with Phantom 😉
I do own a 3 series G20 now. I would definetely go for the RR even tho I really love the speed the bentley comes with. But if I really get the money to be able to afford this car I will have loads of money sitting around so I guess I'd just get several cars.
i just fell asleep watching this seriously . it looks so comfortable and relaxing.
