How is a Phaeton less reliable than comparable bmw's & merc's? I'd venture that it's at least as good. I've been in and driven one, the build quality is insane. VW really took it to the next level for that model.
However, the a8 is much better to drive. Hated the phaeton's disconnected chassis and steering, true Limo. The a8 actually has a tiny bit of character, drives pretty similar to an e39 sport from what I can see. Bit more cornering grip, a good bit less steering feel but still a modicum of it is there.
