[@abdbach379]

For the people saying the car is loud, you clearly don't know what's the phaeton is known for, it's the camera that has a very sensitive mic, you can even hear the guy breathing.

[@PeterGayOFFICIAL]

i was also gonna say tire noise adds as well

[@_J.P._]

exactly what I do not wish to hear :D like he was on the run for the past hour and now tries to contain his heavy breathing :D :D

[@grietjegertie9868]

We had exactly the same Phaeton as this one. It's a powerful motor and I loved the sound of it. But inside the car you could nearly hear it because of the double glass windows. This really was a TOP car!

[@mathewm3073]

It does have a pretty powerful v6 though

[@user-ne9oj1tz8l]

It's just a great and beautiful Car. And you're completely out of the annoying discussions and comparisons between Audi, BMW and Mercedes drivers. This Car speaks for it self, it's just luxury but also not to much. A timeless Designe and in my opinion, it represents the Character and mentality of the Germans (they like luxury but not to pumpous and obviously, more on the second view).

[@lilmoris1]

What I love is that it doesn't look that much different from a Passat unless you really pay attention to it. It's like a fatter Passat

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

When they facelifted the passat I think they took a lot of the styling cues from the Phaeton. Especially the rear lights.

[@krane15]

If it looks like a Passat then you need glasses.

[@krane15]

@@AWMJoeyjoejoe Is there a (luxury) brand where that is not the case? Lexus, Cadillac, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, etc.? All follow a similar design theme. There have been many times where I've mistaken a lesser models for the flagship. So what was the point of even saying that?

Phaeton the King ! 🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆😍

[@MagicMike87]

Underrated car.

[@Jimbo8012]

As a new car, they made no sense whatsoever. However, as a used proposition, the Phaeton is absolutely astounding value for money. Recently saw a 2013 Phaeton with 40k miles for £14,995 - a car that was close to 4X more expensive value new! 1st owner got f*cked in the arse on depreciation but the 2nd owner, wow. Got a great luxury barge for not a lot of cash.

[@gasperfantas]

And you get a lot of technical problems with it, for free !

[@gasperfantas]

+/Chooêt\ mad cos you bought it?

[@stashouse617]

vw depreciation is very quick that's not good . maybe if u wanna buy one but just imagine if u owned one ud be pissed

[@Jimbo8012]

stashouse617 - VW tend to hold their value very well with the Phaeton being the notable exception. That's why you buy a 3 year old Phaeton for £40,000 less than it was list merely 3 years ago.

[@myid9876543]

I bought one. This car has presented nothing out of the ordinary in over 2 years and 78k miles (152k now). Nothing has happened with the air suspension (yet) but you can get rebuilt struts for $600 from rebuild master tech, so who cares if it does fail.

Got a 2015 Passat and looking to change to Passat CC... If they sold Pheatons were I live I would try to get one of those instead. I had to edit... Just saw a video of an Arteon is this a replacement for Pheaton? Or a new class on its own?

[@matejvukovic7798]

Pablo Champagne Arteon is VW replacement for CC,only with new branding.

[@pablochampagne525]

Matej Vukovic Thanks I just checked it and yeah its the replacement for CC and will be available here too... I got kind of confused with the names given. Also as I like VW and had multiple Passat and Vento cars I just found out they cut out the name Passat from the CC version a considerable while ago and I always refered to the CC as Passat CC.

[@matejvukovic7798]

Pablo Champagne I think that Arteon looks great,and i hope that it will be a sucess for VW group.

[@dr3amerofficial803]

I've got the model and it's really cool, but with the suspension on the air in the curves it's not good... For the roads in Romania, the suspension is perfect, but to go daily with it is hard because the car is heavy and it turns hard. For those who want to buy, be careful with its maintenance.

[@franzr44]

A 7or 8 gear gearbox like the A8 has would absolutely fit. 6speed is ok, but you can feel that something misses.

[@Brixxlnator]

Schade, dass der Phaeton eingestellt wird. Ich fand den wegen seiner Unaufdringlichkeit immer recht attraktiv...

[@BigMadmax91]

+Brixxlnator Er ist in der Oberklasse halt weniger gefragt. Leute, die hohe Summen auf den Tisch legen oder in den Genuss eines Dienstwagens kommen, greifen in diesem Segment eher zur S-Klasse, A8 oder 7er BMW.

[@SirBender]

+BigMadmax91 und das weil sie schlicht noch nie einen Phaeton gefahren sind! In meiner Familie/Freundeskreis werden glücklicher Weise alle der lusuimousinen gefahren. Mein Vater fährt den A8 3.0tdi. Mein Onkel die S-Klasse 320 und ein Freund meiner Eltern einen 730d. Vor 2 Monaten kam mein Bruder dann mit dem Phaeton 3.0 daher. Man muss es einfach mal so sagen: der Phaeton ist ZEITLOS. Die Verarbeitung PERFEKT, das Fahrwerk ein Traum! ich bin ihn einmal von Dresden bis nach München gefahren und bin hellauf begeistert! Man sitzt in diesem Wagen einfach am besten. Er gleitet wie kein anderer. Man merkt schlicht und ergreifend dass Herr Piëch einen Bentley mit VW-Logo haben wollte um nicht auf einen A8 zurückgreifen zu müssen. ein Auto dem vollkommen unrecht getan wird! man fährt unterm Strich einen günstigen Bentley!

[@SirBender]

+Xplosion51 nein, der Phaeton rostet nicht nach 2 Jahren... kannst du überall nachlesen. Achso und wenn er doch rostet, dann hat jemand unsachgemäß dran rumgewerkelt! Ich frage mich woher du deine "Infos" beziehst! VW startet außerdem bei der zukünftigen Version mit dem Elektroantrieb, um eben dem Abgasskandal entgegen zu wirken. Die Diesel und Benziner kommen! Und wieso man sich über einen Elektrophaeton lustig machen muss, wüsste ich gerne! Klar wird er wahrscheinlich nicht gut laufen, aber wenn das Konzept stimmig ist wird auch hier der Absatz in Konkurrenz zu Tesla steigen. Der Plan könnte also aufgehen.

[@SirBender]

+Xplosion51 welches Baujahr und wie viele Kilometer hatte er runter? Rostorobleme dieser Art ist nur bei Modellen bis 2007 bekannt und ab 2010 komplett beseitigt worden!

that wasn't a thing yet on this platform... remember the phaetons were on sale in 2003 already... same gen a8 and other cars that use the 3.0 tdi didn't have 8 speed transmissions either, only next gen ones ... without doing research on it i would guess around year 2010 onwards etc.
