I loved this car from the minute I saw it, it had great design and I knew it was reliable because of Volkswagens history. Also, I loved the features, most of wich were standard, they were easy to use, but attractive at the same time, this car is the best by far. I couldn't be happier with my new purchase.

The Volkswagen Phaeton is a high quality machine, drives like a dream, provides extraordinary comfort, is extremely powerful, and is a unique vehicle that gives the owner a sense of real value.

Great Car, all 10's 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.

This is quite shocking about a car with a vw on it,I had pretty much wrapped up a deal with Audi for an A8 then i figured ill test drive the Phaeton boy am i glad it knocked my socks off,without a doubt it will blow away Mercedes BMW and Audi and forget Lexus. Simply put this is the car before Maybach and Rolls

I have owned Audi's for 15 years, including the A8. Naturally, when I had a chance to test drive the Phaeton, it was love at first sight. The vehicle was an Audi A8 with more extras and wow, what a great lease deal. I have test driven Mercedes 500 series, BMW 745i, and Lexus 430. Sorry, but the competition will have to come back with VW designs to beat this gem. It truly is a hand-crafted vehicle, with room in the back seat for a King.
