Lux — The best and most luxurious car I've ever owned! Veery luxurious, very nice and stylish! Beautiful car! If I had the chance to get it earlier, I would take it right then! If you have the financial ability to own it, just don't think any more and get it!

I Really Enjoy May Car And Feel Blessed To Own One! — I own a 2006 5-Seater V8 VW Phaeton. The fit and trim are fantastic and ride quality is stiff but the seats are comfortable. The cost of ownership is pretty high, i.e. new brakes are about $1,200 but it that's expected on a high end luxury vehicle. The looks of wonder and amazement that I receive makes the purchase worth it! The Nav system is quite antiquated but the BMW 2008 CDs can be used in place of the 2006 VW Nav discs. The sound system is superb! There are many bells and whistles that are missing such as bluetooth, backup camera, and MP3 (IPOD)interface. Overall the vehicle is unique, due to only 3,000 being sold in the U.S., and it is very comparable to the competitor luxury saloons but has the misfortune of a VW stigma. I do not mind the VW brand but some undereducated aristocrats may differ. Test drive and Buy one, if you can find one!
