My uncle had a Phaeton and I was amazed on how good it was. I thought it was some special VW only offered in China, but the experience inside the car is nothing like an typical VW I find in the states. I really think it's for rich folks that does not want to show off their wealth, yet they want a car that's on par with the Bentley Flying Spur. I don't think any other car can present itself as understated wealth than a Phaeton. But most people in the states don't have that desire to do so. My friend thought I was crazy when I random found one on the and street and yelled, "dude look at that VW phaeton"

I’ve owned a silver 2005 V8 Phaeton since 2008. Stickered at $80k, and I bought it fresh off a lease for $17k from a dealer who just wanted to get rid of it. It’s been the most reliable piece of technology I’ve ever owned, and the most affordable. Only $$ is brakes/rotors every 20k miles, one timing belt, and usual service. Granted, those and tires are pricey but I don’t put that many miles on it. Stereo (w/ aftermarket iPhone adapter) is sublime, Italian leather still smells awesome, and the AWD with Blizzaks and adjustable ride height kills it in the snow. Rear leg room is off the charts. My wife drives a Merc R350-I call it my Island of Misfit Toys-and that’s been a far worse money pit. I don’t know how long this party will last but I’m in it until the bitter end. ✌🏼

We had 5 in stock for the 06 year and were able to lease 4 and I sold the last one we had. It was a silver/anthracite base V8. Guy came in and bought it for his wife.

If you believe in Christianity you are an Atheist towards all the other religions and gods. Rather than be offended that most Atheists find the believe in superstition ridiculous (hence "joke) focus on educating yourself what words actually mean before you get your panties in a bunch. And yes, in my personal opinion, all religions require superstitious beliefs that does not reconcile with the real, physical world. "All religions are a joke" is an obviously opinionated statement with which you can or can't agree with. What REALLY is silly or a "joke" is that you ask people to provide "peer reviewed scientific studies" on an opinion.

Quiet, heavy, SO comfortable, dependable (mine was bulletproof), and the premium sound with DSP was amazing. 260k and I reluctantly sold it. Moved to a fully loaded Audi A8 D4. It was a little more nimble and the new cabin tech was fun, but it was no Phaeton. I've been in the S Class and for whatever reason, I don't care for them. Never drove Series 7. Either way, I get the horrible feeling that the value and quality of the Phaeton will never come around again.

Doug DeMuro I had one of these but with the V10 TDI (insane engine btw). The one you drove was missing some features: 1. Adaptive Cruise Control (yes, they did have this already in 2003!!) - you mention it's missing on this model, but they had it. Controlled by radar in the front grille. Very nice feature on the auto bahn. It even did auto-braking, although the system warned you to take over very swiftly due to it not functioning under 30 KMh (about 20 MPH). 2. Solar sunroof - this keeps the air circulating through the cabin even when the car is off to keep the interior from getting insanely hot in the sun. Comfortable if you get in it on a hot day 3. Auto adjustable rearview and side mirrors. Maybe the one you drove had this and you did not go over it, but the mirrors adjust seperately when in the R gear versus the D gear - it even stores it with the memory seats. This allows you to point the mirros down or up or more to the side etc depending on with gear you are in. 4. Not sure if the model you drove had it, but mine had Snow Mode. This allowed you to raise the vehicle a good few inches and redistribute the power more evenly across the wheels to allow better driveability in the snow. 5. Stand Heating - this allows to set the a time on the infotainment display. The car will then ensure to be nicely warmed up for you, seats and engine included, by that time. Very nice feautre! You did not mention in the video how the seats are 18 way adjustable - you can adjust A HELL OF A LOT on the seats! Perhaps worth a mention. The only feature mine was missing was the heated steering wheel, since mine had the wooden wheel. The wood on steering wheel looked wonderful BUT IT ALWAYS STAYED SO DARN COLD. I would have gladly traded the wooden wheel for a heated leather wheel. Anyway.. nice car, just very expensive to maintain. Mine developed gearbox issue over time and that got very very costly. It was wonderful being able to do an easy 275 KMH on the auto bahn while being in an ultra quiet and comfortable cabin.

The person overseeing this car's development wanted to make a zero compromise car, which was this (same crazy dude responsible for the V10 tdi taureg), and this was the result.

The "blandness" of the Phaeton's styling was a valuable unique asset. In case you're not a person who want's to broadcast to the world that you spent 6 figures on a full size luxury sedan, this VW let you fool most people into thinking it was just a very nice Passat. IIRC, this car not only shared the same W12 engine block as the Bentley, but it also shared the Bentley's steel chassis as well. This made it heavier than the A8 (aluminum), but meant you were getting a "bargain" Bentley, that you could park at work or anywhere else in public, and not worry about being perceived as some rich a-hole. I don't think there has ever before been such a unique stealth luxo barge on the market. I'm sure all those interior electronics will be fun to replace when they break though.

orbits2 I also agree. However, even driving a BMW like I do, I feel like there is a common negative perception of people with nice cars. This is especially true of cars like Bentley, Rolls Royce, which I see as cars for rich people who feel the need to show off their glutinous opulence, with a very flashy status symbol. That's exactly why I like the VW Phaeton, as it allows you to have almost as nice of a car as a Bentley, but without the social stigma. The VW is understated, without the excessive flashiness of cars like the Rolls or Bentley. Unlike in the Phaeton, I would feel very self conscience if I were to go to work or the store in one of those "top shelf" sedans.

I owned a 2004 W-12 for 10 years. I sold it when I moved to the countryside. The car really needs to be driven regularly, or it will deteriorate, and I knew that my pickup truck would be the daily driver, so I got rid of it to someone who was thrilled to get it. I am surprised that Doug never mentioned the adjustable suspension when he talked about handling. When in Sport mode, the car's handling was very precise. I used to love whipping around the curves on California's Hwy. 1. It also has an adjustable suspension height, just like the Rolls Phantom. So I really have to disagree with his negative comment about handling. I've driven a fair amount of large cars including luxury ones, and I think the Phaeton in Sport mode was at the top of the list. Same for acceleration when in Sport-Drive mode, although I can believe that the Flying Spur would be faster because of the turbo. I also depart from him on styling. True, it's an exercise in stealth wealth, but it has classic lines that were "borrowed" by many other auto companies. The one that comes to mind immediate is the Toyota Avalon, which is a slightly smaller knockoff. There is a Phaeton cult out there, and it was big enough that my car got more comments from strangers than any other car I've owned. I agree with him about the electronics world now having passed this car by. The Nav system was a pain, and worse than that when its dedicated CD player broke. The stereo was AWESOME, so much in fact that I broke a speaker or two blasting it. The seat massagers were too weak to be useful, and the seats themselves didn't hold up very well. All in all, it was a great car to own, and even with the dated electronics I think the Phaeton is a screaming bargain. I had a tear in my eye when I let mine go. I would enthusiastically recommend a used one.

I always considered the Phaetons subtle design to be a benefit. Most of VW group cars are pretty inconspicuous to begin with. But the Phaeton was unique it that it provided all the luxury BMW or Mercedes buyers were used to, but without the showiness the would draw attention to itself. It was the car for successful people that preferred to blend in rather than show off. You could drive it to a homeless fund raiser without the appearance of conspicuous consumption hanging over your head. That was the point of the sedate badging. All most people would see was the VW emblem and not give it a second thought. Anyway, one thing we learned from the introduction of this car is that North Americans are a pompous lot and like to show off their wealthy. Even though this car came with every luxury appointment as it rivals (and then some) people didn't buy it because the badge came from an ordinary car builder, and didn't scream I'm better than you. Fortunately, for VW, the Chinese didn't have that limitation. Where the car continued to sell for many years.

CrashStudios you’re missing the point. The owner of this car has nothing left to prove, because he’s at the absolute top of the mountain. Ergo, he does not need the Audi badge to impress. There is a reason the Toyota Century is not a Lexus.

The Phaeton should be capable of being driven all day at 300 kilometres per hour (186 mph) with an exterior temperature of 50 °C (122 °F) whilst maintaining the interior temperature at 22 °C (72 °F). Off course you can't do that in real life because the gasoline tank is not big enough for that but it is still impressive that the car is theoreticaly able to do just that!

NoobManIT 280 and give it a doug score. "Well the animation isnt up to par with the current batch of hentai, so i give it 4 out of ten. The main character only has triple J cups instead of the usual DDD so they get a score of 9/10 there. Overal this (insert hentai title here) got me moderately hard and was able to reach for the tissue box in 6.7 seconds"

This is absolutely mind boggling how something that was so expensive 8-9 years ago is barely worth 10 grand. It makes me think about all the new cars out there and give them 5-6 years and their tech will be obsolete and we won’t be able to believe we spent that much on that tech

Doug, If it wasn't for your reviews, I would have never known that Jaguar xjls were under 20k. 2 months ago, I finally bought one. Never even knew Phaetons were a thing, im going to look at an awd model this weekend for 9500. Black on Black, and under 100k miles. You the man Doug!! Got 2 crazy luxury cars for under 30k!! My last ford fusion was over 30k!! Now im rolling in 2 luxury sedans with options people have never even heard of. Thanks again Doug!! Gonna need a nice used luxury truck soon. Maybe you should Review the " Lincoln Mark LT" from 2005-2009. Or possibly the "2003 supercharged harley davidson f150". Thanks again!

one feature i didn't see you mention; if the starter fails due to battery, turn the key the other direction and it switches batteries. Built in jump starting feature. It works in the event either battery dies.
