Must be one of the best all round cars

I wanted a 4x4 that could easily tow my caravan that weighs in at 1800 kilos, tried most and whilst testing a toureg stumbled across the Phaeton at the VW dealers. Well over the years I've owned many large cars from 7 series BMW's to Sovereign Jags and have enjoyed them all but nothing comes close to this. It's got most things and reading a full description on the VW website is the only way to do it justice.
I enjoy driving this car as it is refined in all aspects and with a 3.0ltr diesel is economical and well thought out. It has all the technology that you need with easy to use systems that give all the information required.
To own a Phaeton is an experience I will always cherish, I have covered many thousands of miles in the car and look forward to many more.
Talking to VWVortex forum members there's not much to go wrong and the 2010> version I own has dropped many of the tech for tech sakes gadgets that could be a problem.
