I almost bought a W12 Phaeton myself instead of the VehiCROSS, I think it came down to being in Northern Ireland before I visiting the south coast (where the Phaeton was). Both cars were LPG modified, both listed around 6K GBP, both were interesting... and most likely the Phaeton would have cost just as much in repairs as the VX Anyway hope you enjoy the Phaeton; personally my solution to the VX being small was to fit a towbar, but I guess that wouldn't work so well for kids.
