2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe 2dr Convertible (6.7L 12cyl 6A)

Review

If you are a person that loves luxury features like a voice-activated navigation system, 12-disc CD/DVD changer, massaging seats, voice- activated 14-way seats, voice- activated heat / air conditioning in car, adaptive cruise control, universal cell phone reception, and remote start, you will love this Phantom Convertible, which contains all of the above, and then some. Even though it's 6,000 pounds, it gets to 60mph in 5.4 seconds, which is not terribly impressive, but it is ridiculously impressive for such a huge car. Fuel economy is that of a World War II battleship, and it's still overpriced by a good $100,000, but it's a decent (not anything special) car if you have the money.

Favorite Features

voice-activated navigation system, 12- disc CD/DVD changer, massaging seats, voice-activated 14-way seats, voice- activated heat / air conditioning in car, adaptive cruise control, universal cell phone reception, remote start, heated/cooled leather wrapped steering wheel w/ rdio, clmte, and navi ctrls

Suggested Improvements

Fuel economy (they need to make the convertible lighter by about 2,000 pounds to allow an increase in fuel economy of about 65%), price (it's still overpriced a good $100,000), and style (we're not in the 2080's, or the 1940's).
