Nice Car And Very Comfy Ride

...Realy nice car,build quality is outstandind.Got all the gadgets and style of a top end luxury motor...

#2
The best car nobody ever knew about!
Source: Cars.com

..."Hands Down the Phaeton beats all competitors. It is hand made in it's own factory in Germany.
It is unique blend of power and luxury! All wheel drive is standard not an option.
If you are looking to drive a machine and not a car then you have to consider this car.
Trust me. People don't know what it is and when they see you they stop and stare!
People who own a phaeton are wheel informed and not looking for a badge like BMW, LEXUS OR Mercedes. See for your self."...

#3
What to look for
Source: Cars.com

..."The V8 has transmission issues and should be avoided unless you like the headaches.
The W12 is bulletproof but only gets about 14 mpg around town.
You want to get some kind of warranty with any of these cars If you can find a W12 with the four seat configuration...BUY IT; one of the best cars in the world without question."...

One of the very best

...Pros: Well made Cons: nothing Overall: outstanding...

#5
the best luxury car ever
Source: Cars.com

..."This is the best luxury car ever more solid than a mercedes s and more fun than a BMW 7 take my word for it the only reason why it is not selling because it has a VW badge on it.
If you are looking for something gorgeous and amazing to drive the Phaeton is your best bet so go and test drive one today and then you will see what I say is true"...

Should be called VW "Phatal"
Source: Cars.com

..."The Phaeton is just another example of a VW failed scheme.
I'll admit that the interior is nice, but for nearly 100k everything about this car is inferior.
My company briefly leased one of these Phaetons and the first thing that went wrong were the automatic vents which were stuck closed.
Imagine telling your friends that you paid 100k and can't even get air circulation in the car!
EMBARRASSING! Here's a car that looks like a Buick with the usual refined ureliability that has made VW famous, and people wonder why it failed.
VW has obviously found a couple of suckers...

Lux

...The best and most luxurious car I've ever owned! Veery luxurious, very nice and stylish!
Beautiful car! If I had the chance to get it earlier, I would take it right then! If you have the financial ability to own it, just don't think any more and get it!...

#9
Best Luxury Car
Source: Cars.com

..."I have only owned my pre-owned Phaeton for three months.
It has a better ride and feel than the BMW, Mercedes, and Chrysler products I have owned.
I like the fact that you don't see yourself every day on the road like the other cars I have owned.
Unless someone is a VW owner, the car is un-noticed by most people. A comparable luxury car would have cost me double what I paid for the Phaeton."...

#10
Another German Car
Source: Cars.com

..."To much money. To heavy. Not reliable. Expensive repairs.
Overpriced. There are better cars for the money. There is a reason why it did not sell well in the states.
In Europe you can get a V10 Turbo Diesel and the V6 Turbo Diesel.
At the price range new, the Lexus LS 460 is a superior car. If you own on do not look at getting any money out of it when you sell it."...
