Went and bought one of these bad boys- a vw phaeton in 3 litre turbo-
and this time around -I went for the 3.0l turbo diesel model-(as regretted ever selling my older first version v6 - 3.2 petrol version-) and not disappointed-
And as a bonus-this newer facelift -model- one-comes with all the new led upgrades- including the interior led pack-new sat nav-and is also-as a bonus -a 4wd model- and now fitted with all round 4 wheel drive-and also the newer -and self levelling, air suspension-lovely and superbly quiet inside- (down to the 3 layers of door and window-seals -and double glazing all around-)
on approaching a corner- even the new - 3 led fog lamp on each side-- modules fire up, and illuminate the -actual sides of the road-(as these newer cars have an inbuilt 3 lens camera mounted under the rear mirror-unit for lane detection ,road signs etc! a godsend for sure-, on dark unlit roads etc.
so- not missing my previous Jaguar XF- turbo diesel model at all!!
and can easily live -without the flappy paddles -and the stop start and or electronic brake as well-
just a superb and extremely roomy car-measures-longer than a transit van-on our ferry-crossings!! and must be a good .75 metres of extra width inside the cabin-refined -and for peanuts these cars-??
so -uxury on a shoestring-for those who know???
