Replying to: bgandlg (Jan 25, 2007 3:20 pm) I would suggest you get an online subscription to Consumer Reports - I'd bet that you could find their 2005 reviews that way. You could also use the Edmunds website and Kelley's Blue Book (KBB) for that, too.   I have a 2001.5 Passat that was great - solidly built; only had 1 significant problem, and it was coverred by the warranty. Can't speak to the Phaeton, but I remember reading reviews - reviewers unanimously-agreed that it was a fantastic car.

Replying to: bgandlg (Jan 25, 2007 3:20 pm) You'll find an owner who is very pleased with his if you page back a little. It wouldn't be a bad idea to look through as much of this discussion as you can. IIRC, pretty much the only criticism has been that it was not marketed correctly in order to sell well.

Does anyone know if there's a Phaeton Owner's Club in the LA/Orange County area? Replies to this message: ablenav (Jun 29, 2007 9:47 pm)

Replying to: bgandlg (Jan 30, 2007 1:08 pm) I just got a Phaeton and live in Orange Country. Should we start one? Maybe two Phaeton's in the same parking lot is a start!

Replying to: bobm1 (Dec 14, 2006 11:06 am) Hi!   I am interested in purchasing a 2004 Phaeton. CAn you provide info regarding reliability, trouble issues, etc. ?? Any info would be appreciated. I have heard that the VW dealerships have difficulty servicing the Phaeton, although this may be inaccurate.   Thanks!   Mike
#1627 of 1677 Mike's Questions by ablenav Aug 20, 2007 (7:36 pm)
I have had a 2004 Phaeton since Memorial Day 2007 and driven about 4K miles. Based on my experience and my dealership (Capo VW in San Juan Capistrano, CA), I have found the car great to drive, reliable, and just a little longer than normal to get parts. With only 830 Phaeton's in the US, you should expect some parts delays. Since my dealer has a number of Phaeton's to service, no real issues there so far. One nice thing about having a Phaeton, is that most of the service reps and techs want one, and seem to enjoy going the extra mile to take of them. If you have a choice, I would add the parking sensor package which did not come with my car. And plan on finding a special glass for the cup holders or cup since they are both shallow. If I can help in any other way, Mike, feel free to post or email again. Good luck on your decision either way.

Replying to: ablenav (Aug 20, 2007 7:36 pm) Alan:   I appreciate the time you took to reply. I just took a ride today in an 04 Phaeton. It's an understatment to say it's a true marvel. There is a qualified VW and Audi dealer in my area (Pennsylvania). I was told it's serviced similar to that of the Audi A8. I hope to make a decison soon.   Thaks Alan!   Mike Replies to this message: paldi (Nov 30, 2007 3:27 pm)

Replying to: mkoltonuk (Aug 23, 2007 6:30 pm) Great car! Hope you bought it. I'm also in PA.     (My '04 with a ">mesh grill - now has the stock one back on.)
