Thinking about taking the ol' Phaeton to the mountains soon (maybe spring, I'm not sure) but I was wondering how they do in the mountains. Will they accelerate in 3rd, or is climbing quite slow?? and how is the compression in third coming down a slope? Will they hold themselves back, or do they usually need a lot of brake pedal? Thanks.
