Rolls-Royce Phantom vs Honda Civic Comparison

The Rolls-Royce Phantom does not try to be a sporty car. It does not chase track lap times or try to dazzle you with giant touchscreens. What it does is provide a completely isolated, calm trip from one point to another. The build quality is exact, and the materials are the best you can find.

Moreover, the standard V12 engine does its job without any fuss, and the ride handles rough patches with ease. Yes, it is huge, heavy and costs a fortune. But buyers at this level are not looking for a bargain; they want the best example of a luxury saloon. If your goal is to travel in total comfort and make a clear statement, the Phantom remains the top choice. It strictly follows its own path, ignoring other passing trends in the car world.

And this is why the company has also taken cognizance of the feedback on the 8th gen car in India. The ground clearance for this India spec has been increased by 20 mm in front and 15 mm at the back. Having driven over a variety of roads, I can safely say that the ground clearance is not an issue whatsoever. I know you are now probably wondering where I stand on this car. It has some obvious flaws and some great strengths - but to me its also about its legacy and therefore the return of the Civic nameplate to India is just terrific. I welcome it warmly - and also now hope that Honda prices it sensibly. That won't just be great news for Civic fans, but also for the ailing midsize segment that badly needs a hit.
