I'm glad my review has stirred up so much interest! The responses have fallen into a few different categories:
1. Interesting write-up; thanks for sharing!
2. What are the maintenance costs? I'm curious.
3. I DO NOT LIKE PHAETON AUDI A8 IS BETTER!!!1!
4. I DO NOT LIKE PHAETON HONDA ACCORD IS BETTER!!!1!
5. Look like Passat, LOL, do not want
6. WHY U SPEND SO MUCH ON MAINTENANCE R U GAY?
7. My neighbor's ex-wife makes $55 a month working from home! Ask me how!
8. My grandma could write a better review than this, and she's dead.
9. Volkswagen? More like THANKS OBAMA. Am I right?
10. TL;DR

Do they work for $55 a month in a sweatshop?
Oh wait sweatshop workers only make $55 a YEAR.

Welcome to the FP. I do a series of mostly forgotten cars and when I did one on the Honda Beat, EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. who ever heard of the beat in passing came out to tell me all about how they knew the car existed. That was literally half the comments before I got pissed and dismissed the angrier ones.

Hmm, you shouldn't still be grey. I replied to you!

Thanks Jagvar! Hope that you got a job, if you did and posted about it, I missed it!

I'm still looking, but remain hopeful.

Something will appear when you least expect it.
It will be like a priest farting.

Nice car. Why did you choose a car that "will part with me for years to come"? :) Sounds like a problem.

Thanks! And I wrote that meaning that it will be my companion for years to come. I will be using it at least 7 years.

I totally knew those comments existed already.

Le sigh. Seriously, those are about half of the comments right there. Even when I explain that almost all of it was covered under warranty. No one listens.

Or getting felt up by a nun.

It was a good read, and not just because I'm a VW guy.
Sometimes I think the interwebs just draws out The Stupid in people that would normally have little to say. Just a theory I'm working on here..

Yeah I've had a few reviews put up on the front page. Some of the comments just remind you what a nice place Oppo is, internet-wise.
On one of mine, somebody comments and goes "Wow, you think anyone would believe this shit? Fuck you."
I was like..."Huh?"

I once commented on the history of dual-zone climate control, and somebody told me to kill myself.

LOL that's what you get just blurting out about a sensitive topic like that, not thinking about how your words could make people feel.

I didn't even know what the Beat was until I read this comment. Thanks.

Of course. It's why we all love the interwebs.

Maybe they see you roll up in the Phaeton and think they can't afford you? Good luck hunting and thanks for the review, it does take some grit to open up oneself to the internet's potential for abuse, especially when it comes to something as personal to a Jalop as one's ride.

#6 FTW. Nearly blew a mouthful of tea on my computer because of it. Otherwise image sez it all about the stoopid comments.
