May 24, 2010 - PRLog -- |2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom Review|
The 2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom is an ultra-luxury sedan available in regular or extended-wheelbase models that seat five by default. Most expected luxury features come standard, including 21-inch cast-aluminum wheels, an adjustable air suspension, front and rear parking sensors, power-closing rear coach doors, a power-closing trunk lid, soft-close power front doors, a sunroof, multizone climate control, heated front and rear seats, driver memory functions, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a leather headliner with wool and cashmere accent panels, and veneered picnic tables built into the rear seatbacks. Also standard are bluetooth, keyless ignition/entry, a navigation system, voice command functionality, Rolls-Royce Assist emergency telematics and a multifunction electronics controller. The audio system is a 15-speaker Lexicon Logic 7 surround-sound stereo with an in-dash single-CD player, a glovebox-mounted six-CD changer, an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio with a lifetime subscription. The Phantom EWB adds 10 inches of rear legroom, full rear climate control, reversible footrests and a rear-seat entertainment system. If that list seems incomplete, rest assured that Rolls-Royces can be customized to your heart's content. Should the extensive list of standard exterior and interior colors not strike your fancy, Rolls will paint the Phantom and tan its leather any color you see fit -- for an extra fee, of course.

|Walkaround|
As you can likely imagine, most of the extra cost comforts available for other luxury sedans are present in the Phantom, but it's the countless special touches that set Rolls-Royce apart. Every surface is covered in leather, adorned in veneer or accented with chrome. The carpets are made of deep-pile sheepskin that makes you want to drive barefoot. That Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament disappears into the grille when the car is locked to prevent the flying lady from being taken by a coveting onlooker. Speaking of looking, the RR logos in the 21-inch wheels are known to turn heads, as they don't spin when you're driving, so they're constantly on display. Of course you know there's more... On this sedan the back doors not only open rearward to allow for a more graceful egress, but they also carry hidden Teflon-coated umbrellas which are ever so perfect for those unexpected showers. Then there's the optional fiber-optic headliner which creates the brilliant illusion of a starry night. The countless customization options cover just about everything you can imagine, from cabin curtains and an infinite color palette to a trunk-mounted wine cooler and full cabin partition. Alas, when you think there couldn't be more, you find out your Phantom has an older sister. That's right, there are actually two Phantom sedans. The regular-wheelbase model boasts one of the largest backseats on four wheels, but for those who desire even more space, the Extended Wheelbase (EWB) model packs on an additional 10 inches of rear-seat legroom. Sure, you could buy a Porsche Boxster S and an 82-inch TV for the 70 grand you'd be dropping on those 10 extra inches in the back, but you'll definatly be relieved you took the plunge when it comes time for you to take Shaq and Yao Ming out to Mortons Steakhouse. No matter which of the sisters you choose, you'll enjoy the same potent V12 engine and a meticulously engineered chassis that soaks up bumps like they were never even there.

|Summary|
No matter how nice you think the Phantom's interior is, trust us, it's even nicer. You'd have to transport the largest cattle ranch in Texas to Sequoia National Forest to find this much leather and wood in the same place. Locating a strip of plastic in a Rolls-Royce is a difficult proposition. For those who will actually drive their Rolls-Royce, the instrument panel design is clean, with classic gauges.
