    4CAR RATING:

    Assets
    Miraculously combines a leave-the-world-behind ride with responsive handling and potent performance. Lush, spacious and furnished with discreet taste. Has a presence like almost nothing else.

    Drawbacks
    Inevitably expensive. Is almost embarrassingly large, and styling is controversial. Rear doors not easy to push open from inside. Quality, on very early cars sampled, is not as close to perfect as it should be.

    Verdict
    Redefines a Rolls-Royce for the 21st century. For those who can afford it, this is the car that does it all.
