Cool. You can get the V10 TDIs and W12s for a bargain.
Which engine did you get?
wow great car.

yep ... as the selling numbers aren't the best for that car you should get a demo car for the price of a new loaded passat :D :D
but -> it is a REALLY GREAT car -> loads of space ... a real cruising limousine

So far, just a week of ownership.
The car is fast off the line! Very comfortable suspension that can be set to 4 levels of stiffness. Steers well, tracks well.
Very quiet inside except when acccelerating - exhaust noise is supposed to be sporty but to me, it disturbs the music on the radio. I wish it quieter - like the W12.
Lots of space, comfortable seats but getting in, would be nice if the seats moved to make it easier to get past the B pillar. The steering wheel retracts though.
Very happy with my choice of color and interior. See ya later - I'm drivin it!:incar:

Congrats on the new car however you should have gone with a proper marque if you were after a luxury car;)

Phaeton warranty is 4 years, 50,000 miles plus an additional year on the drive train. Everything is free except wipers and tires. Same as the Audi A8?

Yes - everything is free - just like Audi. For four years! They also say you get a free loaner - a Phaeton or a Touareg, if one is available.
