Rolls-Royce Phantom Saloon (03 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 30 May 2006 Last Updated: 04 June 2009 Rolls-Royce may be owned by BMW, but the Phantom is both individual and feels every inch the pinnacle of British-built luxury. Its appearance is certainly imposing - indeed it's too heavy-handed for some - but it travels with an unmatched elegance and style. It's a 'motor car' in the great Rolls-Royce tradition with a long list of options with which to personalise the vehicle, it has a surprising turn of speed and can be controlled with a level of precision that belies its size. If you want the best car in the world - and can afford it - we couldn't argue against choosing a Phantom. 5 out of 5 Other Rolls-Royce reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £285,565 - £337,045 View all new prices Used price range: £68,594 - £272,276 View all used prices Get a Rolls-Royce Phantom Saloon (03 on) information pack Next steps Rolls-Royce Phantom Saloon cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
