Right today I have decided to post some of the more "upper-class" cars of our time. Here we have a Bentley Azure and the very famous Rolls Royce Phantom (better known to be driven by millionaire Lord Sugar). Both these cars cost around the same and have the most ridiculous insurance prices, but then of course that is nothing if you can afford the car in the first place. In my opinion I would go for the Phantom, this is because I have always liked the design of Rolls Royce cars, even since I was young. This car still have the characteristics of the old fashioned Rolls Royce in a modern design. But...
Which one would you choose?
Right lets get started:
Bentley Azure
Average insurance for middle-age man, safe neighbourhood: $1500 month
Following a three year gap from it's predecessor, the new, significantly improved Arnage has now arrived. Featuring the 6.75L V8 from the Arnage, power is upped to 450bhp (quite necessary in a near 3 tonne car) while torque is a tree stump pulling 645lbft for smooth and effortless acceleration.
Interior trim is bought up to date and is ,of course, of the highest standard. Disregarding the current trend for folding metal roofs a la Mercedes SL, the Azure features a traditional canvas top, albeit an electrically operated one. Not cheap at £223k but you can be assured of standing out in the crowd.

Rolls Royce Phantom
Average insurance for middle-age man, safe neighbourhood: $1550/month
On 1st January 2003 BMW officially took over Rolls Royce and with it introduced us to the much anticipated new model, the Phantom. It's styling has proved controversial with an exaggerated front grille and rear 'suicide' doors and at nearly 6 metres long and 1.6 metres high it is certainly an imposing site. Most important of all, however, It is unmistakeably a Rolls Royce.
BMW's super smooth V12 (bored out to the traditional 6.75 litre capacity) provides the power, while fully adjustable air suspension ensures the expected high quality ride.
Production begins later this year at BMW's purpose built Goodwood plant, with prices expected around the £250,000 mark. Only time will tell if the Phantom can restore Rolls' former glory.
