It is a brilliant car which I have from new as a pre reg with 21 miles on clock. You definitely need to drive one in the wet and see how well it handles with its permanent 4 wheel drive, 2.5 tonnes and suspension options.
No faults other than a sensor and a rear bulb which both faulted 2 days before a scheduled service plus the dealer messed up a water pump recall. I only use it for long distances and you never feel tired. I do not use the toys to the full - only used video once but the big hard drive and card readers and 6 CD player and iPod connection give you a massive music option.
There are airbags everywhere and I think it won some safety award.
As I have said many times - for the money I simply could not find an Omega replacement eg an A8 was around £70k - I paid £29k for this. Some Guys on the Phaeton site pick their's up from Dresden and pay full whack - I could not bring myself to do that knowing the huge loss that would be immediately incurred.
Interestingly insurance is cheap in fact Swinton have just quoted £270. Road tax is a bummer at £435. Service is normal say £250 average over 2 years, mpg on motorway use is 37, it is very very quiet - when I was buying the car I asked about the road tax and the salesguy said "sir, if you have to ask the price of the road tax you cannot afford the car!!"
The space inside the cabin is what I was after at my size (length and width).
