    One of my clients has a 2022. I must have stared at it for a good 10 minutes. I'm a fan of hatchbacks. He said they love the car and would buy it again. It was bigger than I thought. That cargo space is massive. I think it's a good choice for anyone in the market.

      Every time I review this vehicle i think should I take it home? If I didn’t have a 4 door sports car Sam, I would buy it. They are awesome vehicles and because of the hatchback; cargo is not a problem.

    Bought an Arteon 2021 in 2022 for 35k with 25K miles on it. The car is well made and looks better than a lot of Audis. I have people always complementing me in it. One thing, this German beauty is very delicate. I have been to the dealer every 3-5 months for replacement of steering wheel controls, then the steering wheel, battery problem, seat rail problem, center console where the camera resides issue, sensors beeping. I think the car is very thoughtful in the design but just requires a lot of attention and maintenance per VW standards. I don’t have the awd but should have gone for that and a ‘22 model! I will probably let it go after the original warranty expires. Reminds me of my past Audi, just constant problems. It’s the most good looking car I ever had though! It is a quality car but not a long lasting quality car.

    Thanks for taking the Arteon out for a drive. I'm an ardent VW Group owner (VW & Porsche). I wanted to ask about the braking part, it stopped beyond the line at one light. There is another light where it clearly went into the crosswalk. 🤣 Were the brakes really that bad where it couldn't stop before the line? 🤔 (I'm figuring out what mods I need before I walk in the store to buy it)

      Congratulations with your vehicle, VW makes some great vehicles. These features can do weird thing, a good example; Porsches will beep around Fords at stop lights or when you get close to them 🤷‍♂️ (North America Problem). I wouldn’t worry too much about them being perfect 👍

    i got brand new 2021 two years ago. I love the car but it does lack power (268hp), I was so mad when 2022 came with 300 hp lol. In my opinion this car should be at least 325. I love the way it handles in the snow too. It did take me 2 years to find out it had masager in the seat lol. great cat over all. When I pay it off I might go with Brand new Arteaon again. We will see what is gonna look like in 2025.

C or E class as it was, even at that time it was a better value overall (it looked wounderfull and it aged well as this Arteon will) All the extras you could put, that were not cheap, but it were cheaper than on other premium German brands.

    This car really doesn't have an exhaust note. Then again, its not that type of car. This one performs, but the athleticism goes to the R version which is not imported to North America. I like the seats, but it doesn't appear to have thigh support which I need with my long 6'4 legs.
    Do not get that gloss black if you can avoid it. My OCD would be full active viewing all those finger marks. Look great w hen brand new and untouched, but once it gets scratched its going to look horrible. Like foggy headlights.
