Having just acquired the same vehicle,I might be able to comment,my previous RR was a 4.2 s/c which I owned for about five years so I can really only compare it with that,the 2011 car is better built in my opinion and has the 7/8 speed gearbox which gives fuel economy of 26/32 mpg.
The duel turbo engine is quite noisy at low speeds around town but is amazingly fast and smooth if you boot it from 30mph upwards it actually seems faster that the 4.2s/c.

I spent about 3 months looking for this car and ended up with a silver one with black premium leather,autobiography wheels,a useful blind spot gimmick on the wing mirrors and premium sound system,sub 30k miles and full service history,I actually use a local independent who have just serviced the car and reported no problems.

I think that they are serious value and would unhesitatingly recommend that you get yourself in one!

Just had ours 3 years and averaged just under 30mpg for the 40k miles.
We also had a 4.2 s/c previously, and find performance to be about the same.

The only issue we have had is 4 replacement starter motors. (A known issue - all under warranty).

A new replacement of the same spec is now over £100k, so this will be staying with us for a while.!
