In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2004 VW Phaeton. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Wow this is the first time I've ever seen the Phaeton. I usually go for name brand cars like Mercedes and BMW and this honestly surpasses both the S Class and 7-Series of its same year. This is Bentley-type luxury and I love the unique detail on ever inch of this car. I'd get myself a W12 of these if I would find a good one around me but sadly they are extremely rare, even the base V8 models are hard to come by. After all.... I think this was 20 grand more than an S and a 7 at the time so that may been the reason there are so little because people would spend 20 grand less and get a name brand s class recognizable on the road. But for me with that same mentality, I really like this car

@abdbach379 7 жыл бұрын

VW actually owns Bentley, so the electronics and the W12 engines are actually VW engineering, let's not forget that those are the same guys who engineered the bugatti veyron, unfortunately people tend to hate on VW because of the american spec cars they get in the USA, they don't know that the European versions are a completely different experience.

Good and terrible car at the same time. The W12 engine and attention to detail are amazing, but at $100,000 you're not paying for the car, you're paying for the logo. The rich don't want to drop their money to be seen in a Volkswagen. If this had a Mercedes or even Bentley nameplate instead, this car would have sold like hotcakes. Arguably the best car in the world when it came out in 2003 that nobody wanted.

The price for a Phaeton is in the class nearly to Mercedes/Audi' prices. Many want to have the grat image, a VW has lower image than Mercedes/Audi.

+escobar 370gt Okay, you're obviously a thick-headed moron who has no idea what I'm talking about. I know that VW and all those cars have been doing that since the '70s. What I mean is that the 2004 Phaeton had leather material around the cupholder area, where as the '05 and '06 had wood. Think before you open your god damn mouth.

Al B Do you know what other problems the car potentially has? Many models I've seen for sale have a millage of over 200.000 KM and some even go up to 500/600K. This is usually a sign that this is a dependable car (because worn down, high millage cars are usually shipped to eastern Europe where they don't take vehicle quality checks as seriously). I'm considering a 2003 4.2 V8 Highline model with 128.500 KM on it at 12.000 euro's (16.000 dollars).

The Phaeton was actually positioned to be above the A8 in terms of luxury. The Phaeton shared its chassis with the Flying Spur and was more refined than the A8, the A8 was positioned to be the sportier luxury sedan like a 7 Series.

I like how the wood grain lifts up to reveal the vents when you start the car. I have personally never seen one of these. They're cool.
