  • W12 Phaeton - VWs Masterpiece - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    My 2004 Phaeton W12 is my 8th Volkswagen. I am very happy with this car, it is quiet, powerful and very well designed. Elegant, but understated - stealth wealth.

  • So Far So Good - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    Significantly depreciated value / price of this 04 car made it a great value. Solid feel with incredible performance in a "better than limo" luxury experience. So many bells and whistles that it takes days to train self on all functions. Three complaints: navigation system is antiquated, complex and only provides minimal information and tire pressure sensors are very sensitive and wont read correctly in very cold conditions and finally, cannot turn off seat-belt tone which is bothersome if you just want to sit and wait for someone without being buckled up.

  • Luv my Phaeton - 2005 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    Have 31,000 miles on auto. Have not had one thing which I could ask the dealer to fix. NOTHING. Service has been beyond excellent. They say VW dealers dont know how to sell or provide customer service to luxury buyers. My buying and customer service from my dealer has been better than my previous Mercedes, Lexus and BMW dealers. Last two cars were 740-ils several small problems with each. Loved my 740s but my Phaeton will be remembered more than my first car. If I can ever part with this W12 my next car would be another one. It is too bad that other luxury car owners are afraid or maybe embarrassed of saying I own a VW. They are missing a great driving experience.

  • The Best Bargain in Used Cars. Period. - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    Let me state this clearly: The VW Phaeton is one of the best cars in the world. As a used car it is without peer. The very-high-quality interior is gorgeous, the attention to detail is astounding, the sound system is very impressive, comfort is second to none, and the number of micro-adjustments that can be made boggles the mind. The drivetrain reeks of German precision, and the design is thoroughly modern. My wife drives a 5-series BMW and looks every gift horse in the mouth. After riding in the Phaeton, she has been curiously silent. I think shes jealous. I have owned several luxury cars in the past (MB, BMW, Jaguar), and the Phaeton surpasses them all. Its simply a *great* car.

  • THE BEST - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    I TEST DROVE THEM ALL, MB S500, BMW 745 AND THE AUDI A8. THEY DONT COMPARE. THIS IS THE BEST OVERALL CONCEPT SINCE LEXUS FIRST CAME OUT WITH THE LS400. IT IS HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE EVERYTHING IN ITS CLASS.

  • The Best - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    Best car I have ever owned - and that includes 3 Mercedes-Benz S500s, a BMW M5, etc. My Porsche 911 cabriolet was perhaps the most fun (in Miami), but cannot imagine a better sedan. I test drove an Audi A8L and a BMW 7-Series, but this is the car. Its navigation system could be better, but everything else is great.

  • Great Car - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    I love my Phaeton! It is a pleasure to drive and elicits very positive comments from other drivers. My passengers love the cavernous back seat leg room and comfort features. The upgraded stereo is awesome, as is the cooling/heating system. Considering the great deal I made ($54,300), this car is a great value.

    i test drove a 12 cyclinder with after market wheels, rubber, and exhaust system in scottsdale... wow. this is a hand-made vehicle with bentley heritage for under $ 100.k the vw badges are round, so owners can easily replace them with round bentley badges, or customized with owners names, or even "phaeton"... the best car ive ever been in... including bentleys and rolls
