Rolls-Royce Phantom reviews

2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom:

• Lush and generous are the bywords for the Phantom's standard five-occupant interior; four-occupant seating with rear bucket seats is available. - Cars.com

• A sophisticated double wishbone suspension up front with a multilink array at the rear and height-adjustable shock absorbers produce a smooth ride and keep the bulky car tractable through the curves.- Forbes

• The Phantom's air suspension softens the harshest of impacts without feeling floaty like so many comfort-tuned large sedans.- Edmunds.com

• The ride is superb, as it avoids being floaty while soaking up Miata-sized potholes and other road imperfections with nothing more than a muted "thump."- Edmunds.com

2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom Comparisons:

• While the Maybach may offer more high-tech gizmos and a greater sense of modernity, the Rolls-Royce features an undeniable old-world charm and a stunning larger-than-life presence.- Edmunds.com

• Start kicking things up a bit and it rapidly becomes apparent that the Phantom is no sport sedan. That's not a knock on the 5,600-pound Rolls, just a heads-up for those who think anything BMW touches (like the Mini or Range Rover) becomes an instant canyon carver.- Edmunds.com
