Hello together, also I want to introduce myself briefly since I bought a GP3 3.0TDI Phaeton 4 weeks ago. I am in the middle of 40, project manager, family father with two smaller children, come from near Nuremberg and have so far only driven simpler cars (Astra,Golf,Polo,Audi A3, older 5 BMW). In secret I don’t have a particularly automobile heart and had my money invested rather in good food (since both were not in it). 10 years ago I already had a Phaeton as a “beautiful car” in the After my Golf Plus with a moderate 200000km was already at the end, I wanted to treat myself to something better. After two months of riding a motorcycle as an alternative, the decision between ‘sports’ or ‘comfortable’ was spontaneously made in the direction of ‘comfortable’. From then on, only the Phaeton came into consideration, everything else I immediately made as a second choice. I wanted another dinosaur again. A dinosaur not everyone has (Audi A6 was also available, but many are driving), which offered a lot of space and generally a lot for money. I then signed up in the forum three months ago and was frightened by the many woes of Phaeton. However, that did not stop me so that I rolled offers into mobile.de and autoscout24.de. In the end, it was clear that it was the long version with brown leather and As is well known, there are not so many, so I had longer journeys for test drives. I had to accept some disappointments: dusty, unprepared Phaeton, which looked much better on the photos than in real. One had the leather shrugged on, the other had smelled bad inside and trunk didn’t open automatically anymore, was the VW dealer but no matter because he meant he was sold anyway. I then closed short at one VW dealer in the Saarland and had to wait an endless 6 weeks because the car was still processed and I went abroad for business trips. My purchase: GP3, late 2013, long wheelbase, 5 seaters, 86500km, 1950€, new price 104000€, no abnormalities in the electronic service booklet, winter tyres extra, air conditioning new, PerfectCar Pro, 24month maintenance/inspection. 18-way seats/memory/massage, parking heater, parking aid/return camera, steering wheel heated, thermal protection glass, electric tr. Rollo rear, sliding roof, 4x seat heating, Kessy, RNS810 with TV/DAB+, SIM card, Softclose, voice control, DynamicLightAssist/curve driving light, traffic sign recognition. Unfortunately no ACC and DynAudio that were important to me at first. I had a “good feeling” with the car but I didn’t want to put even more holiday days into the test drive. I miss the two things in the meantime, but well. Had expected a little more “Pomp” when picking up the car, was there easy I was disappointed, but it was also a rainy day. I had already noticed when driving home of 400km that the car was the right purchase. What should I say: at the moment I am completely enthusiastic. The car is the absolute dream. Looks in real and in daily use only from the outside even more timeless than thought. Actually I like everything about the car: – Solid like a castle, 2315kg and long wheelbase you notice just: No rumbling, no zapping, great chassis. – Inside unglaubli It’s really great for car music lovers like me. Whether at 70km/h or 180km/h, I just don’t hear a big difference in the outside noises. – Magnificent classic interior: a lot of space in the shoulder area and doesn’t seem old-fashioned to me. All of these sneaking plastic spaceship cockpits of newer cars can just stay stolen from me. – Large windshield and relatively narrow A-pillar: good view to the front and side. – Great leather smell, even after over 5 years. A pleasure every day. – Air conditioning is a dream: even at 33.5° it cools down to pleasant temperatures within a few minutes, really free of draught. The seat ventilation also helps. – I’m more impressed with infotainment than I thought: mobile phone in a backpack, get into the car, Spotify over Bluetooth runs automatically and with fading, looks at the title in the display, can jump forward/back with steering wheel control. Calling (via HSP) goes perfectly, success rate at Voice control is also good. – Kessy and other sensors work well: automatic light control and rain sensor works exactly as I expect, you just have to think about a lot less. Everything when interacting with the car is somehow “in the river”. I get off significantly more relaxed after driving (except in the parking garage 🙂 and my average speed has dropped a whole bit. The length of the car does not bother me, because it gets something in return. A few toads must m I have to get used to it at 10.5 l/100km of consumption on my way to work (50% city, 50% country road, 10km), but hey, I have a 90L tank! – Seats are good but not perfect. – Slots could be a few more, on the other hand: then nothing is completely trashed. – 8/10 sound system is good, but could radiate more spatially. I would be interested if DynAudio – only related to Bluetooth – sounds much better than d the standard system. I noticed during the transfer, that the electric rear headrests did not go anymore (which is strange, because I tested them during the test drive). However, I stopped for a short time and was finally happy about it as a child seat user, because I just don’t need the feature and it – according to forum knowledge – is not shut off. All in all: I became a “Phaeton” believer in a short time, with the smile of the understatement. Images of the car are in the P rofil released. Greetings, Marcel

I’m about to sell my Phaeton, who should have been my 3rd final Phaeton. I was 100% satisfied with the car, the situation only showed that I broke up with him. But the virus doesn’t let me go and I’m thinking about going back to Phaeton. I was through with the “normal” Phaetons, the last one was a GP4 4-seater with all imaginable features, I think except the trailer clutch (I don’t need) he had any equipment. If I think about it now – what is actually the ultimate, final Phaeton, then for me this would have to be a GP4 with V8 (EURO6), 4-seater and Poltrona woman equipment. Does anyone else see that? I’ve never sat in a Poltrona woman myself, how does that feel? From the ambience, from sitting in itself, you can put the Poltrona woman “over” the normal Phaetons or is it only personal taste thing? I have to decide for myself – do I I’m looking for one or am I letting it be?
