Interesting read. I'll agree that the Outback is one of the more "complete" cars on the road. But, just like Clarkson, I wouldn't have one.

I rented a Legacy Outback wagon last weekend in Denver, and my dad owns an Outback Limited sedan. Great cars, except for the front seats: they need to go back another inch and there's no thigh support. I don't see how a guy Clarkson's size can be comfortable in one.

Trust me dude they're rock solid.....if you are saying the phaeton is not reliable, you are saying the audi A8 and Bently Continental are not reliable.....they are all HAND-BUILT in the same factory.....do your research!!!

I'll chime in and say most VW group products are not reliable. a good friend of mine who works at a mitsu/VW delaer says there are VW's including the phaeton in for warranty work constnatly.
