If the author of the article actually owned a Rolls rather than being allowed to drive one for a review, he would have, at a minimum, whipped out his smart phone and called an Uber driver to deliver him from tranquility. The fact that he did not suggests that the whole article was insincere and the author was looking for an angle for an interesting article. Oh No! My Rolls has bad factory service! I'm shocked! (Colonel, I'm shocked, I say shocked, at gambling in Rick's).
By the way. those who actually own Rolls Royces do not refer to them as "Rolls". If they abbreviate the name (which is very déclassé, pardon the French) they invariably refer to the cars as "Royces".

We do? I called mine a LWB...or Shadow or even Rolls Royce.
Your perjorative bad mouthing of a Rolls Royce belies your protalariate ideology. However that said they do tend to attract a certain nouveau riche element who seems to want to draw attention to themselves.
An ox drawn sled could out perform a Rolls Royce. They are merely adequate to the task for which they were designed to perform. Comfort and sophisticated elegance while motoring is their mission, where after a days arduous motoring one steps out of his automobile feeling rested and serene. Imagine yourself relaxing in a nice big easy chair in a well appointed library insulated from the harsh environment of motoring with the protalariate. And of course in the picnic basket with the packed lunch rests a jar of Gray Poupon.
