Audi gets this better than BMW does, ironically. I had a 2012 A7 Prestige and they used a lot of the same tricks on a budget but it really elevated the car: metal caps on the plastic switches so you were always touching metal, everything was soft-close and delayed to open slowly, subtle lighting in good places, slow fade in on the electronic displays, little light shows and needle dances when you start and stop. Very clever and a better job than BMW does with even the high end 5 and 7 series.

A car I had heard of before n had heard all the praise surrounding that car n i still didn’t think it was all that until I saw Doug review it. N after that I was completely sold on the F1 being the greatest car ever made. Thank you Doug!! I appreciate the work n research that goes into making a great video.

RR had him once shipped to Dubai to paint a coach line on a car that was already delivered because the owner changed his mind and wanted to have it done additionally :) The skillset is remarkably nevertheless.

A bit of a correction, 13:46 Good sir De'muro. Power reserve acts not like a tachometer or a rev counter but one in reverse. For example if you floor it the more power you shall -use- sorry, consume say 69% whereby less of it shall remain, i.e. 31% as such the Power Reserve needle here shall point to 31%. If you're in slow traffic you'll consume less power say 31% and have 69% in reserve, and the needle shall again indicate as such. Assists in showing the amount of power left in a gear. Jolly good, carry on.

Some facts for us Doug followers. The "stars" shown all around the interior of this Rolls-Royce are called "The Rose of the Winds", "The Wind Rose", or even "The compass rose". Not merely a compass or a star. The exquisite work done to the wood covers of the interior is called "Marquetry". In this case, pieces of wood in different colors are inserted into larger wood pieces before the gloss transparent enamel is applied. Finally, the "champagne glasses" are called "flutes" because or their elongated and slender shape. "Flute holder" is a more elegant term to describe a "champagne glass cup holder".

Having driven these brand new from the factory ready for export, I can say that the rolls royce ghost is closer to a BMW 7 series than it is to a Phantom.

For anyone wondering I worked for a vehicle import export company in the docks in England.

Agree. Many luxury cars are so blingy as to be tasteless. That is not true of the Ghost.

A really good detailed summary. To present a Rolls Royce properly with the ultimate attention to detail, the air vents should be horizontal and the piston stops equally set to half way out. Seats should be equidistant with headrests down and parallel. Fans all set to soft. The upgraded music package wasn’t mentioned - it’s out of this word; you could do a whole review just about that.

Those who can afford a RR, will not buy just the base spec...

This is quite a review of a very nice luxury car. I did notice that when the engine hood was opened there were a few caps that looked a lot like caps on my 2011 BMW 328i. The oil cap on this car has the same shape as an oil cap on the BMW, but is labeled with RR for Rolls Royce. The windshield washer fluid cap is the same as BMW. Also what looks like a coolant expansion tank cap looks the same as the cap on the BMW. So unless a person is looking under the hood of the car they would not see any thing from BMW.

My dad is thinking about one of these. Once he heard about the BMW underpinnings, he became nervous. Stepping from Lincoln Town Car's bulletproof reliability to BMW doesn't automatically equate to an upgrade; but he has been reassured from multiple reliable sources that BMW and Ghost are not the same. Now if he could only get my mom to release the purse strings....

Gorgeous work of art! I hope Jay Leno has these in his garage collection.

Finally its out! I've waitied a long time for this! Ty, Doug

Upkeep and maintenance has to be a nightmare. Anything happens you have to buy straight from RR dealership

I thought that we will never see GT3 RS wattering can again, but I am so glad it's here again! :)

The details are making me fall in love with brand I already love.

Fun fact: Doug filmed this review a year ago. Want proof? Check out his video from July 18th 2021, "Here Are My 10 Favorite Cool Cars for Under $20,000". Doug is standing right there at this location with this exact RR, advertising Cars & Bids. Feel old yet?

Doug, you recorded this video in Jul 2021. Why did you just release it!! I just saw the preview of this when I was watching “Here Are My 10 Favourite Cool Cars for Under $20,000”

The front side cameras showed around 12:40 are actually pulled straight from BMW. The F10 and F01 5 and 7 series also have those cameras and it's pretty nice to have.

As a fellow plebeian I rely on Doug for my life experience 😂

This is the Rolls Royce I would buy. More maneuverable than a Phantom but more extra space than a Wraith.

This has to be one of the greatest auto review shows ever. For a point of reference,the last Doug vid I watched was him squeezed into a meter maid vehicle.Then this. Brilliant. Equal enthusiasm in both reviews.

You had the power reserve explanation backwards.. it's 100% moving slow or idle, going towards 0 the more you smash the gas.. if you are flooring it up a steep hill, you would have less reserve because you'd be using most of it already.

I like the process shirt. Miss seeing goshen rd in the driving portion of your vids. Perfect back road to open up on.

When Doug was in the back seat strolling through the center console infotainment screen options, I noticed a "panic mode". Curious to know what the Phantom would do in this mode lol. What a car lol

Fun fact: This video was filmed back in early 2021

I always thought the Phantom was for being driven in, and the Ghost was for the Owner/Operator. Definitely more daily driver friendly I would think.

@Spike16 the Ghost has more features than the phantom. If you bought a phantom to drive then you're just paying extra to have an extra couple of feet behind you.

Doug the kind of the guy to film his review on a rocky deserted road to avoid people talking to him

"I'll give the Ghost a Doug score" that made me laugh way harder than it should have.

In a way, the umbrellas in the front make more sense since you want the driver to be holding the umbrella before he opens the back door. If you put it in the back there is a greater chance for the rain to wet the back seat passengers because the driver has to open the umbrella.

I love that even a Genesis G90 these days has almost everything you see here including heated and cooled rear memory seats and great materials all around - the difference is they're standard on the top trim at around 1/5 of the price of this car...That being said, if you want leather all the way at the Bottom of your doors and beautiful materials even Under your seat, you cough up the half a million and get a Rolls Royce lol. That's the kind of detail you're paying for.

Can gaurentee that a Genosis does not have the same level of detail a Rolls has. The amount of sound deadening that goes into a rolls is in itself a feat of engineering.

People who say "Oh, this is just a *blank car name* underneath" are some of the absolute worst 😅 "Oh, the Ghost is just a 7 Series", "Oh, the Supra is just a Z4" do they even know how much tuning and calibration can change a car? 🧐 By the way, I think the RR Ghost is the RR to go for undoubtedly! 🧐❤️

You know in both cases people care for different reasons: "It's a 7 series underneath, so it is only unreliable and expensive to maintain but not the absolute technological garbage from GB." VS "It's a Z4 underneath, so it has nothing to do with one of the most reliable japanese car manufacturers and it should not be named like the most iconic car of that brand (and if you are no billionaire you shouldn't own one older than 5 years)."

Wow that was cringe

if you want to comprehend the actual comfort of this ride look at how little his camera shakes with every bump relative to the other cars he drives

And to think, all that wood trim is hand made. Truly spectacular.

Yeah affordable if your Hoovie or Doug DeMuro

Wow, Doug reviewed a non top-of-the line luxury car. Kudos!

This uses the same chassis as a ghost, but the current one doesn't. Working at RR in Goodwood and seeing them finished is amazing to see

12:20 my 5 series has the same cameras.... Very handy in parking lots and city streets.

It certainly looks better than the phantom from that generation and arguably the current, they are a bit too boxy for me.
