  Really like the car - 2005 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By Modestojohn - March 2 - 11:30 am

  Well made performance sedan, drives on freeway better than the Audi A8. Very stable, comfortable highway sedan with AWD.

  Such a great car - 2006 Volkswagen Phaeton

  This is the finest car I have ever driven. That includes 7 series BMW, and even my Lexus. The fuel economy is surprising, averaging 22 city & highway.

  My Phaeton - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By wtahra - January 9 - 10:00 am

  I recently leased a 2004 Phaeton, having previously leased Passats. The Pheaton is far superior to any Volkswagon product I have ever had. The attention to detail is obvious from the seats to the dash including the a/c vents in wood trim which fold back when the a/c is turned on - Wow, what a cool feature. It is a pleasure to drive (power and quietness of cabin)with a mountain of room in the back. Based upon the price as compared to others whom I know who have leased the BMW 745i and what they have paid - It is a supremely better deal.

  Nice Car - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By r nisco - January 5 - 4:20 pm

  The Phaeton is a great car. I have had some electronic problems with sunroof and tire pressure sensors. I also had the rear end go out. All of these issues were covered under warranty. The steering needs a little better feel, it is a little light. I dont think you can beat this car for the price. As one would expect, this cars gas mileage is low because it is such a heavy car - it weighs 5,400 lbs. However, on freeway at high speeds this car gets about 20 mpg. In city driving it only gets around 14 mpg. The interior is beautifully finished.

  Wow - 2005 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By Chris - November 6 - 11:26 am

  I have owned Mercedes and BMWs for all of my adult life. Not only does the Volkswagen Phaeton perform better, it is more comfortable and far more stylish!

  VW Phaeton- Lux Lux Lux** - 2006 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By clrevitup - October 26 - 4:30 pm

  I did a lot of research and compared the Phaeton to the Mercedes-Benz CLS- / S-Class, BMW 7-Series, Lexus 430 and Audi A8u, and have to say that the Phaeton won - hands down. What a great car to drive. You combine the fact that it is " hand " built on a Bentley Continental Chassis; and that they used only the finest leather, wood, chrome and talk about features! The car can either be your "Limo" ride or in a quick shift, can become as sporty as any luxury sportscar. It is fun to drive in any of 3 shift modes / 4 suspension settings / 3 ride heights - etc. It provides the most bang for the buck and hey - its not seen on every corner. It is the epitome of quality and style. If your confidence needs the "Lexus / Benz / BMW label - go and spend more to get less!

  Phaeton W12 - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By macknatt - October 19 - 7:23 pm

  Arguably the best car made. Unfortunately the brand is too inhibitive for its success. People, who do their research and are not stuck on brand image, would have a very difficult time to buy anything else. Workmanship, and attention to detail is better than Lexus, or S- Class. The exterior is the only weak element, as it is rather plain. But in my case I am glad to go anywhere "in cognito". Otherwise, the road manners are second to none. The car is glued to the road, the ride is comfortable and there is always plenty of smooth power. The interior is quite as can be, and the wood and dash with the "indirect" climate system is fantastic. You can literally hear the pin drop at 80 mph.

  Bentley With VW Badges - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By imon_2nd - September 27 - 11:04 pm

  Ive always wondered what it would be like to own a Bentley Continental Flying Spur. However, the price of a decent used one, currently around $65K is out of my budget. I knew the VW Phaeton was basically the same car minus the turbochargers. After shopping for a few months, I won the bid on eBay for a low mileage V8 model Phaeton at $11,800. My previous daily driver was a 1993 Mercedes 300CE cabriolet. The Phaeton is equal in build quality, more comfortable, has better audio, and handles better despite weighing 1,000 pounds more. The only drawback is gas mileage, which is about 4 MPG less than the Benz. The only modification Ive made is adding Bluetooth capability.

  What a luxury and craftmanship - 2005 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By JLM_CA - September 12 - 2:16 am

  The Volkswagen Phaeton is a dream machine, very well thought and executed. BMW and Mercedes need to look at Phaetons interior and learn what luxury is all about. If you drive the car, you will buy it!. Dont bother driving the BMW 740 or Mercedes-Benz S500; technologically they are not even comparable. The sound system (upgrade via DSP system) is the best on the planet on a car. It is like a disco in there.

  Bentley Car for VW Money - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By TJ - August 14 - 11:36 pm

  I have had everything there is to drive in a luxury car, and this is without a doubt the most bang for the buck anywhere! Sure, there are more expensive cars, but whatever those cars may offer over the VW doesnt come close to justifying its price. The car is AWESOME. To quote Ferris Beuller "It is so choice, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up"
