Just Awesome!
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!
First Test Drive - Not Yet Acquired
Upon test driving the Rolls Royce Phantom, I must say it has remarkably better handling than the Maybach 57. The car is nimble and responsive, although power is subdued for enhanced comfort. The greatest phenomenon upon my short drive is the remarkable handling of the car; the chassis mitigates its weight and bulk, providing the driver and the passengers with remarkable comfort and little body roll even in fast sharp corners. Upon intense acceleration and at high speeds, there is absolutely no noise in the cockpit and absolutely no vibration. The lack of vibration is thanks to a remarkable dual floor system, so the floor is not connected to the chassis. This is a great car.

Spectacular car has some costly issues
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

Lap of Luxury
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.
worst car i have ever owned
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.

The best car of the whole world
I love this car to the fullest. Every single detail of the car is perfect. I even enjoy the service of my RR dealership.
Fabulous
Simply the very best automobile I have ever driven or owned. The comfort and ease of driving is fabulous.
Just Superb
I love this car so much its perfect inside and out and has all the amenities of millionaire car.
Luxury Can't Get Any Better
I love this car. I'm usually not into big cars, in fact I've never owned a car much bigger than a BMW 3-Series until this thing. Driving it makes you feel so prestigious and good. For a big car, it turns pretty quickly and can turn pretty sharp. It won't take the corners like a Porsche, but I've never driven anything this big that handles this well. Sit in the backseat an no one will know you're there. There's a big piece of metal to hide your face. Floor it all the way and you will realize that you can still have a conversation at normal volume. There is hardly any noise in the cockpit and no vibrations at all. This car has no body roll ethier. The backseat is big enough to store a small car in.
Nothing Better than a RR phantom
We own several cars, our old Phantom 2006 is always our best choice when we want to out and have fun, this car must be kept inside, always clean, detailed, batteries fully charged, full fuel, tire pressure check and here we go.. after so many years this car looks and feels like if it was new, prefect wood, music, refinement. Valet will notice you better than driving a new fast car, maintenance is low if you understand the needs per mile and if you keep it indoor, Zero problems since new, 16 years!! We don’t like mechanics messing with our cars, we like preventive maintenance, simple best quality oil once a year bought on line with a filter, ceramic detailing, brake fluid change BMW every 5 years, test batteries before connecting them, low voltage is the electronics worse enemy, keep the negative off when the car is not in service, batteries will last about 7 years for the service and 10 for the Engine. I keep mine in Florida under air conditioning to avoid Humidity, under cover to avoid UV damage.

The Phantom Review
My 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom is better than the Maybach 62 which I also have and enjoy. The Phantom is a great car. I cannot wait for the 100ex to arrive.
Awesome
This car is fun to drive, is classy, but not in most peoples price range!
Refined Quality
The Rolls-Royce Phantom exceeded my high expectations. If given the opportunity, go drive this phenom at your nearist dealer. Not only are you buying the car, you are buying the dealership.

Phantom 2005
The 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantomis a joy to drive. It handles like a much smaller car. The turning radius is very good for a car of this size. the fit and finish are pure Rolls Royce.
Underated
When I entered the Rolls Royce dealership in San Francisco I just had to have it. I took it for a spin, came back, and paid cash. I love the looks that I get when I ride through the Bay Area.
