  phaeton to the rescue - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By brian mcnally - December 18 - 10:00 am

  after 20 years of declining Benz quality and unable to stomach the cosmetics counter styling of thier interiors it is a godsend that VW has rescued car buyers from having to drive the class favorite of orthodontists and garmentos. After 8 months and 25000 miles Im ready to order the wagon and coupe, if VW will just build them.

  Groundbreaking car from VW - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By TREKGUY77 - August 12 - 10:00 am

  This car has so many excellent features, I dont know where to begin! The car is a pleasure to drive, day or night. I understand they only sold 900 nationally, so it is very exclusive, almost rare. I am getting 23.3 mpg on the highway, which is not much worse than my Chrysler 300M Special I traded in. Dealer has been good, but not up to Lexus standards.

  Phaeton - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By Barbie from WI - May 31 - 5:46 pm

  This is the best handling car weve ever owned. Since our son is 64" the legroom is outstanding. this cars comfort and ride are far beyond our expectations. I cannot say enough about the options that are available on this model. I have not found any car that has close to the number of options that are available on the Phaeton. Sorry to say that the vehicle will no longer be available in the states, maybe if they would have sold it under the Phaeton name rather than Volkswagen. People just dont realize its the same car as the the Audi - ONLY BETTER!

  Best Kept Secret in the Used Car Market - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By Steve - March 28 - 1:10 am

  I purchased a used, certified model with 60,000 miles from a VW dealer. The superb materials and build quality make it seem hardly used. The buttons, carpets, leather surfaces, chrome, liners, etc all look new. The paint deserves special mention. My silver reflex paint scheme is beautiful. The car is comfortable, with ample room inside, especially the back seat area. The air suspension is sublime. This is the car to have on long trips. This car is truly exclusive, as less than 3,500 Phaetons were imported into the US. Thankfully the Phaeton remains in production, and obtaining parts is not a problem. Servicing by VW is a must. Recommend purchasing an extended warranty.

  How do I feel about spending 70K on a Vw - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By Todd Nilsen - January 21 - 2:00 am

  I love the vehicle there is no question this car rides, performs and handles better than Bmw745Li and Mercedes-Benz S500 4matic hands down and therefore I just purchased one for 70k and you get a lot for your money. So go out and look at one if your in this price level it might be a Vw but this is a world class car and in my opinion the leader of the pack.

  Luxury Unsurpassed - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By luxurycollector - December 9 - 2:00 am

  I have seen websites list Phaeton competitors as the Infinity Q45 and other "luxury" vehicles (Lexus 400 series, etc).My advice, buy a W12, or at least go to your local VW dealer and test drive it.It will take you about 2 minutes to figure out that those "competitors" are not competitors of this machine at all.This vehicle is designed to compete with the S Class Mercedes and BMW 700, and it not only compares favorably to these, but blows them away (for specifics refer to comparison chart of the Phaeton/S Class Mercedes/700BMW in the Phaetons brochure/manual).

  Phaeton phenominal - 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
  By Chris Crane - August 28 - 4:56 am

  It is a pleasure to drive the Volkswagen Phaeton V8. Every aspect of driving becomes enjoyable. The gauges and controls are logical, easy to read, and instinctive. The car handles amazingly well in the snow. I have driven an Infiniti Q45, BMW 740i, and Lincolns, but nothing compares to this car. There cannot be a greater value than the (reduced price) Phaeton.
