I've had mine for 2 years and only major problem was air suspension. This is my first RR but not my last...been a pleasure to drive. Prior to buying this I asked which was better RR to buy and was told if petrol is not a issue then go for RRS S/C. The engine is bullet proof. |

Don't underestimate how thirsty the S/C is though. I've not been able to get better than 13mpg, even tried driving like my nan - it made no difference!

I've had two FFRRs and an SL55 AMG in the past so I'm not much of an MPG worrier, the SL would do about 15 around town and the petrol RR about 16/17.

They make a great sound too!!, I occasionally look at the E63 s with the V8 bi turbos online, when prices fall a bit more I'd consider one. |
