  • WOW From VW - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    This is the most awsome car I have ever owned. I just replaced my BMW 740 with this Phaeton and it is such a joy to drive.

  • Phaeton is a great deal! - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    Ive had my Phaeton 10 days, and I love it! I was shopping for a 530i or an E320, but when I found I could get a Phaeton for the same money (with incentives) I jumped on it. I got a base model, but it still had all the features I wanted, and is the most comfortable car Ive ever owned. Its no sports car, but it drives very well, and rides like a dream.

  • Phaeton tops all other luxury cars! - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    I looked at Mercedes (S-Class), BMW (7 Series), Audi (A8), Range Rover and Lexus (LS400 series). As a fluke I was asked to look at the VW Phaeton. I thought, VW-no thanks. (Nothing wrong with VWs but not what I thought I wanted). Sat in it and was amazed at the incredible technology and comforts built in. Better intuitive Info Center (Navigation, Climate, Systems, Stereo, etc.) than any other lux car model. The seats are the most comfortable Ive ever sat in-better than Volvo. The room is incredible. The car is handbuilt in Germany. The fit and finish blow away everything else. The ride is outstanding. Quiet? Dual paned glass through out. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST CAR!!!

  • Get this vehicle while you still can! - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    I happened to stumble upon this vehicle by chance and am very happy for the outcome. I am very impressed by the engine build, interior comfort and subdued exterior design - not into the prestige vehicle badges. This car isnt prestige at all, and thats a good thing. Fuel economy could improve but compared to some 4cyl turbos out there it isnt much of a difference. In fact some V6s out there have the same fuel economy as the V8 Phaeton. Personally I would NOT recommend the W12 Phaeton with 12cyl.

  • Built the way Mercedes used to build - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    15 yrs. ago Mercedes had the best built cars. Now VW creates "build quality" equal to Lexus, better than BMW, and way ahead of Mercedes. The ride, handling, fit and finish are phenomenal. Gas mileage is an acceptable 16 MPG in mixed driving. The W12 engine is smooth/responsive and the car so well insulated that it glides super quietly along the highway at 70 MPH with engine RPM @2200. I wanted understated elegance and excellent fit/finish and got what I paid for. I strongly recommend this car if you dont worry about "hood emblems" and just want fine quality, design, and function.

  • The Best Vehicle for Under $150,000 - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    The Phaeton is a fantastic vehicle - really, its the same as the new Bentley Continental Flying Spur. It is fun to drive and much nicer than the S-Class and 7-Series that I have driven in the past. Its fuel economy is not great, but it is a very heavy vehicle - approx. 5,300 lbs. In light of the weight and performance, its fuel economy could be much worse.

  • Best car I ever drove - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton

    Terrific ride. Floats along without any effort at 100 mph. Never a problem mechanically. Awesome technology.

    The Volkswagen Phaeton is a very well balanced car. Its transmission and engine are perfect math!

    The Phaeton is a comfortable technologically advanced car, which drives similar to a Cadillac but has more technology and and all wheel drive. It is an extremely comfortable car.

  • WOW! "TUV" THE ULTIMATE VW - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
    By -

    I have owned many new cars since 16. I am now 35. Mercedes C, E, and S Class, BMW 7 and 3 series, Audis, Lexus, Jag, and Acura. I also have a 04 CLK 320 in the garage. This VW is the best car Ive ever been in. One month ago I bought a 05 VW Passat 4 motion to use as a winter car. In about 8 hours I will trade the Passat for my new Silver VW "PHAETON". I have never been as excited about any other car Ive ever bought. This is truly the best car ever built. Go drive every other car then drive this, you will be impressed!!!!
