I had the VW Pheaton V10 TDi and it was beautiful. The V6TDi is nice and much more sensible but the V10 and W12 come with the ultra interior as standard and it is almost as good as the Bentley. From a cost point of view there are a few things to watch. It weighs a (three) ton and all the suspension bushes get squashed and need replacement. Brakes take a serious beating as well. I had almost no problems at all with mine over 110,000 miles.

If you are looking at a big good value cruiser I would also add a W216 CL500, not the AMG models as that raises the stakes for everything. Also amazing value for money.

Thanks Alistair, good to hear the voice of experience.....
