I've driven my friend's Phantom twice, so let me share some real impressions. The Phantom's presence completely overshadows the Ghost – its 5.8-meter length instantly becomes the center of attention when parked at a hotel entrance. The rear seats offer truly imperial treatment, with hidden mini-fridges and custom champagne glass holders in the doors. While the Ghost is also luxurious, it feels more like an ultra-luxury sedan to drive. At 1.85m tall, I still had about a fist and a half of headroom in the driver's seat. Phantom owners mostly employ professional drivers – when driving it yourself, making a U-turn requires three-point steering wheel adjustments. I nearly scraped a pillar in a mall parking lot last time. The Ghost's rear-wheel steering is much nimbler, handling tight turns like a regular Mercedes S-Class. The fundamental difference? The Phantom is a mobile palace, while the Ghost is a luxurious ride.
