I've driven many Bentleys, Merc S Classes and Rolls-Royces in my years as a mechanic. Honestly the most quiet car in the world was the Lexus LS400. It was literally "next-level" in quietness. You couldn't hear the engine or the even stepper motor when you adjusted the steering wheel. It was like being in your own bubble. It wasn't just having lots of sound proofing, it was engineered to be quiet from the ground up.

The best advice that i learned from Manny Koshbin is don't buy a Super or Hyper car until you have 10 times the price of it in your Bank account, when you purchase a Super car you add a car to your garage but u add also maintenance and unexpected damages that can happen in future

I understand Manny advice but that's overkill. If most people did that - they would never own one. The 10-15% rule is enough - especially if you make even more with multiple streams of income. My investment properties pay for my exotics cars. It's many different things you can do to afford easily and responsibly. You don't need a million cash to afford a cheap 100k car, My first exotic was 100k put down 20k- financed 80k. Then traded up to more expensive cars. Now I have an Aventador, so it's not hard at all, Especially if you are making 20-25k plus a month with little to no debt with multiple streams and assets that produce income.

If you have that much money sitting in your bank account, that means that you are not investing your money properly. Money sitting in the bank doesn't really do anything for you because interest rates are so slow. It's better to have $1 million in a place where it can make you 5% on returns rather than having that $1 million sitting in your bank account making you 0.5% returns.

SO, two BMWs, an Indian Tata and a Volkswagon. Oh, and one Classic, real Rolls-Royce. Which, by far, was the most beautiful, characterful, elegant and posh car here. So the Silver Cloud is the only one in the group that's worth owning. The Chinese and Arabs love the ghastly German models (special points to the I7 for being the ugliest car on the road--inside and out--a 7-Series tradition since the 2001 E65 model). But anyone who loves luxury cars--especially British Luxury cars--will have the Silver Cloud here or nothing.

Its not just the measurable things like sound levels but the whole feel and ambiance of the thing - its all about luxury and hang the rest. Just as a true luxury car should be. The rest are still trying to play the sports game and be somewhat agile/etc - pointless in a barge anyway. If you want that get a GT car.
