This is the best Volkswagen Phaeton Long 2009. Everything from the chassis to the body shell, the interior design, the features, safety equipment and, very importantly, the transmission has been changed. The engines are not all-new but get improvements of their own for improved driveability, fuel efficiency and comfort. Volkswagen says the goal for their R&D Asia Pacific department was to make a 'one-class-above' car based on the feedback from both existing owners of the previous-gen model as well as potential customers of the Volkswagen Phaeton Long 2009. The exterior design may not appeal to everyone, the interior design, space and equipment on offer certainly will. Couple all this with one of the best ride-and-handling packages on any car in the sub-4 metre segment, the Volkswagen Phaeton Long 2009 should feature on top of your list if you are looking to buy one in the near future.
