2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom Review
Price Estimate:Â $24,156 - $32,679

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Decadent passenger accommodations, unmistakable styling, drives well for its size.
Cons
- Might attract more attention than you want, lacks some high-tech features, some confusing secondary controls.
What’s new
New standard features this model year include a power sunroof and a power "boot" lid.
Edmunds says
Maybach may claim superiority in terms of high-tech gizmos, but the Phantom boasts more dramatic styling and a more recognizable heritage.

Just Awesome!
4.63 out of 5 starsCarlos Marrero, 04/12/2007
2004 Rolls-Royce Phantom 4dr Sedan (6.7L 12cyl 6A)
When I finally reached the point in my life last year that I could afford one of these monsters, I jumped at the chance. This is by far and away the finest sedan I have ever owned and I have had several(S600,750il,S55 to name a few)The Phantom is an order of magnitude better. The main thing that I still can't get over is the level of comfort that Rolls has achieved with this car. On a … recent road trip to Miami, I practically fell asleep driving down 95s in the middle of the day. The leather is just remarkable,as is the woodwork. While not as fast as the V-12 Germans, the car weighs 1000lbs more than the S600 and 760li. This car really hustles regardless of the extra pounds. I love it!

2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom 4dr Sedan (6.7L 12cyl 6A)
Having both driven and been a passenger in this car, the 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom is perfect for anyone. You never feel like you are driving an automobile that weighs 6,000 lbs. It provides passengers with tons of lucury.
Spectacular car has some costly issues

2004 Rolls-Royce Phantom 4dr Sedan (6.7L 12cyl 6A)
A 2004 Rolls Royce Phantom, now made by BMW, could have some costly issues if the previous owner(s) haven't addressed them. The first being the now obsolete PAX tire/wheel combination, which could cost upwards of $10,000 to replace. Other items are burnt out pixels on the dash, inoperative windows, sagging headliner, air suspension, coolant leaks, glued on parts falling off, missing door … knows, fuel injection- I like the car but a person considering buying one should be aware of these issues
worst car i have ever owned

2004 Rolls-Royce Phantom 4dr Sedan (6.7L 12cyl 6A)
I have spent appx $85000 on repairs on this car not to mention $16,000 while it was still under warranty, I only have 52,000 miles on it. I have replaced the floor mats once because they turned green and they are green again and ripped and torn. The rear view mirror is turning black and will have to be replaced soon. The leather seats look like I have put 200,000 miles on them and are … all cracked and wrinkled. The hydraulics to hold the hood up are shot and most of the repairs have been electrical and oil leaks. I have had to replace the shocks 3 times and air bags. I rarely drive it over 40 miles per hour with an occasional trip on the freeway. Rolls Royce does nothing and customer service sucks.
