Volkswagen Phaeton

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Phaeton as a replacement for the 75 when she dies?

I've driven the mid range 4.2 V8

petrol and the 3L V6 oil burner and I have to say they really do have something that I cannot pinpoint.

Both are quicker then my 75 by some degree and luxury wise they are streets ahead.

Comfort is ahead and the level of calmness i experienced when driving one makes me really think this is the way to go.

With low mileage 2003 cars being had for < £7k they seem to be a steel.

Anyone had any experience of the mechanics of these?

I hate to get away from british but at the end of the day that boat has sailed.
