  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"

  Those who know it - appreciate it. - 2005 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By russell - August 5 - 3:06 am

  Beautiful exterior; drive for sport, drive for comfort, in the rain, sleet and snow its a champ, enjoy the sound system, massaging seats and share the story with those many inquirers. Some quirky issues correctly identified by other reviews just cannot outweigh the value of buying this car with some gentle miles, and really enjoying it. Its one of the few unique vehicles that not pretentious, but is truly luxurious.

  Best Bang for the Buck - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By carnut - August 2 - 2:00 am

  I tried all the competition, the Phaeton flat out offers more value for the money than anything else out there.Try it and compare to S500,A8L,745IL and you will be a believer like me.

  happy owner - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By Happy owner - June 20 - 2:00 am

  I have owned Mercedes, Jaguar and most recently the Audi A8. The lease opportunity on the Phaeton was to good too pass up. After driving this car for the past three months I can honestly say it is the finest car I have ever owned. Quiet and comfortable! I have had clients six and a half feet tall ride in the back seat and say it is the most comfortable rear seat they have ever been in. I am extremely pleased.

  Very good car - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By lovethiscar - June 6 - 6:10 am

  This is my first super luxury car. Prior to the Phaeton, I owned a Lincoln LS. The LS is an excellent car, but is not in the same class as the Phaeton. I was able to purchase a 2004 with 51900 miles for $24500 with an all inclusive VW warranty. I consider myself a well informed consumer that does his research. I have to say this car is the BEST car that I have driven and that I made an excellent purchase. Rides like a dream. On a back road, I got it up to 120 mph, but took it down because I got scared.. Flawless ride even at 120 mph...
