Buy or hire the AMG SL 43 if...

An entry point into the current SL convertible range, using a smaller turbo four-cylinder rather than the V8 of higher SL grades. It is hired for open-top touring and events where a full-size sports car is not needed.

Buy or hire the Phantom if...

Rolls-Royce's flagship limousine, bought and hired for weddings, state occasions and VIP chauffeur work rather than driven by the hirer. The long wheelbase and twin-turbo V12 prioritise a silent, cushioned ride over performance, which is exactly what chauffeur firms are selling.
