  Great Car - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By impex4 - February 17 - 2:00 am

  Great Car, all 10s except fuel economy, but the MPG is comparable for this class of car. What a comfortable and luxurious car all in an understated package. Amazing power and capability. Outrageous fit and finish. I saved so much money-I was about to get an S500 4matic.

  Bentley in Disguise - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By Bobm1 - August 27 - 5:53 am

  My Volkswagen Phaeton V8 is by far the best car Ive ever owned or ridden in. This is not a car for status seekers. Its a car for people who want to drive the best large luxury car but dont want anyone else to know. The only down side to owning it is when you have to take it in for normal maintenance you dont get the same level of service you get from the other luxury dealerships. They try but truely dont understand their Phaeton clients.

  Great car - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By bernies - August 19 - 10:00 am

  I have owned Jaguars, Mercedes, Lincolns, Cadillacs, the vw w12 Phaeton is the best auto I have owned. It is a fun car to drive. It is extremely comfortable, especially on long trips. The technology is awsome. The service by VW for this vehicle is the best I have ever received for a luxury car. The w12 engine is very responsive and it is hard to believe but better mileage than one would expect from a 12 cylinder engine. After 5000 miles I am getting 20 mpg on highway driving. I am simply deighted with this vehicle.

  Wonderful car - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By phaeton II - January 5 - 4:26 pm

  I have 5000 miles on the car and it is still a good feeling to get in and drive. The fuel economy is 15 to 16 in short trip city driving. Highway speeds 70 and higher where allowed 22 to 23 mpg. The car is solid and quiet at speed. The fit and finish on this car is perfect. I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a good luxury car for a price way less than some other brands.

  Stealth Wealth - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By UMohan - December 11 - 5:36 am

  Picked up the car beginning of November and have had it for about two weeks. I had heard a lot about this car and once I got behind the wheel and drove it I was sold. The build quality is far greater and move "high priced" vehicals. The drivabilty of this luxury vehicle is not like those of its competitors, though its designed for luxury it does not over do the soft comfy feel, you still feel connected to the road and feel like driving more than being driven. The acceleration is moderate to good for a car which is just over 6000lbs, the exhaust soundtrack is like none other about the only thing you could hear while you drive this misunderstood hidden gem of a vehicle.

  Great Car, but Get a GOOD VW warranty - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By FastEddy - December 6 - 9:10 am

  Ive had the car for about a year now. Overall, this is a extremely competent luxury car. Good acceleration (not a burner, but fast enough), very smooth & quiet. The exterior is understated (which suits me just fine) & the interior is one of the best Ive seen (especially on an 04 car). Good attention to detail all around. The only drawbacks I can mention is Service & some reliability issues (mostly electrical gremlins - which arent uncommon in high end luxury cars). Combining the electrical issues w/ the fact VW technicians have little experience w/ the car can make service an exercise in trial & error & very costly if not covered under warranty(mine didnt cover much)

  Best Luxury Car..and its a VW!! - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By DaBigDog - November 4 - 2:00 am

  This car is more than just a Luxury Car...It is a Comfortable Car. When you sit in the back of the car, you are presented with the self adjusting rear passenger headrests. Legs Tired?? Turn on the back and leg massagers. The creature comforts are beyond your wildest dreams. Multi-positional Drivers seat leaves no uncomfortable position. Horsepower on command!!

  Mixed Bag - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By Disappointed - July 26 - 6:30 pm

  My first foray with a Volkswagen has been a mixed bag. From the first test drive, I knew I wanted this car. The handling, acceleration, and performance have been great. The car has more than lived up to its engineering reputation. Unfortunately, the electrical issues I have experienced have outweighed the joys of driving the car. When the weather is cold, the cars sensors indicate that the car is overheading, even though it isnt. The dealer tells me that they are aware of the problem, but they cannot fix it. On occasion, the dashboard electrical system freezes. Shutting off the car and restarting doesnt help. It eventually goes back on, but I never know when. This car has too many issues!
