"The team at Everyday Driver is living a nightmare many of us are curious about, but not brave enough to try, owning a used VW Phaeton and Maserati Quattroporte. The vehicles were technological marvels in their time but today represent some of the most unreliable vehicles money can buy."

Objective journalism at it's finest, or to be taken with a very large pinch of - salt?

Having taken a real shine to this 2007 E280 i'd love one of the big passats

I still view the QP with envious eyes too but we're eyeing up OMG I'm losing my job camper vans to see if the prices start dropping at the moment.

I thought that the fact it made 150+ mph on salt is pretty good going. According to the driver it was getting more stable as the speed was going up.
