  • memory - 2005 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    This car is wonderful. It is good looking and fun to drive. The radio is one of the best I have ever had and it is not the best one offered by VW. One feels like a king on the inside of the car, fine leather and very well done real wood trim.

  • How do I feel about spending 70K on a Vw - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    I love the vehicle there is no question this car rides, performs and handles better than Bmw745Li and Mercedes-Benz S500 4matic hands down and therefore I just purchased one for 70k and you get a lot for your money. So go out and look at one if your in this price level it might be a Vw but this is a world class car and in my opinion the leader of the pack.

  • Luxury Unsurpassed - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    I have seen websites list Phaeton competitors as the Infinity Q45 and other "luxury" vehicles (Lexus 400 series, etc).My advice, buy a W12, or at least go to your local VW dealer and test drive it.It will take you about 2 minutes to figure out that those "competitors" are not competitors of this machine at all.This vehicle is designed to compete with the S Class Mercedes and BMW 700, and it not only compares favorably to these, but blows them away (for specifics refer to comparison chart of the Phaeton/S Class Mercedes/700BMW in the Phaetons brochure/manual).

  • Phaeton phenominal - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton

    It is a pleasure to drive the Volkswagen Phaeton V8. Every aspect of driving becomes enjoyable. The gauges and controls are logical, easy to read, and instinctive. The car handles amazingly well in the snow. I have driven an Infiniti Q45, BMW 740i, and Lincolns, but nothing compares to this car. There cannot be a greater value than the (reduced price) Phaeton.

    The only small negative about the Volkswagen Phaeton V8 is the poor fuel mileage. For a 5,200 lb car, I espected this though. Otherwise, I think it is just about perfect. It has excellent fit and finish. It has the people comforts you expect in only the best cars which cost much more. its engine is very powerful and the car is very smooth and quite at high speeds.

  • A Luxurious Rocket Ship Needs No Cachet - 2005 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    Handling, comfort, and electronics are superlative. The discount more than off set the absence of brand recognition. This is a car that you can drive coast- to-coast, in any weather. It is so comfortable and offers so much control on highways or country roads, it makes travel pure pleasure. In short, if your ego can handle a brand with less status, this is one very fine automobile.

    The best car I have ever owned. Previous cars BMW 750il, Lexus LS 430.

  • awesome but disappointmented - 2005 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    Awesome performance, styling, cool, fun and for the under 50 successful crowd... however, one week after her 5000 checkup, a transmission module went, she wasnt shifting... lights on everywhere. two weeks later at the dealership (did they know what they were doing..........) Returned looks- feels as good as new. Still in love with this unpretenious and elegant automobile. some marketing from corporate might help her future...if not, an orphan.............

  • Outstanding Value - 2005 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    This car, with the outstanding deals being offered, represents great value. The quality of the interior materials is above average for the class. Yes, its heavy, but it rolls down the road in fine style and the structure feels bank vault strong. Ive been averaging 17-18 mpg in a mix of city and highway driving, not bad for a large car. Overall Im very impressed so far, and look forward to driving this car every chance I get. Those who dont consider this car because its has the VW emblem are making an error, there is nothing like a Phaeton for the price. Consider this; the Bentley Continental is built on the same platform and shares most of the Phaetons running gear!

  • Volkswagens Luxury Sedan - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton

    this car is absolutely incredible. I drove a Mercedes and BMW before and the Phaeton has beat them all by far! Thank you Volkswagen!!
