Until last Tuesday I had never seen one and actually had never even heard of it although I have seen its cousin the Audi A8. This is a very understated car I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to drive a fully loaded phaeton from Los Angeles to San Francisco. All I can say is this is one awesome 4 door sedan ! I don’t really know all the specs on the car but for a big 4 door sedan this thing has got some get up and go, shifts are very smooth as is the ride. It has adjustable suspension and a host of other goodies, stereo is nice and the ride is very very good!
On our way to San Fran we went up the coat highway, all I can say is if you have never done this drive you should make time to give it a go, its absolutely BEAUTIFULL ! I have done this drive a few times before but this was the best trip up the coast yet. The phaeton made the drive incredible, I was lucky enough to have 2 other individuals with me also driving phaetons….here is where the fun began.
On our drive the weather had been off an on and parts of the road had been damaged which worked in our favor because there was almost nobody on the road. All I say is for a big 4 door luxury car this thing handles great !! I wish I had some video of the 2 of us playing on the tight twisty road. We came around one bend where there were a couple sightseers that must have been watching us come because as we rounded their corner they were jumping up and down and cheering for us…wow that was a blast.
I clicked some pictures as best I could of the coast as we were driving to Carmel. I know they aren’t great but you will get the picture of how beautiful it was on this trip. There are also a couple pix of the car.
If you are in the market for a 4 door family car that is capable of have a screaming fun time do yourself a favor and check out the phaeton.
Here are some more pix, sorry for the quality but that was the best I could do while driving :-)
