  • The Arteon is a coupe-like executive car that provides a comfortable ride, and allows you to arrive in style.
    It also has a few driving modes to suit various occasions, including a weekend outing with your friends. We check it out to see if it is powerful enough, and handles well enough.

    Uncle you revealed your age! Great to have such good coordination at such age. Unlike other comments here I thought the VW MD was terrified during the drive judging by the size of his eyes as his face was behind the mask. The more white you can see above someone’s iris the more terrified he is.
    Just watched your Passat drive up and I thought you would have enjoyed the Arteon more without the MD on board.

    Great video! You are my favourite car review channel cause I love to drive up Genting too! But possibly to be more critical for future car reviews? Things like noise insulation poor, ride too firm, too much body roll, what competitors are better in what aspects etc.. perhaps even build quality and even reliability based on your experience cause right now every car you drive seems equally good no matter the brand or power. E.g perhaps this Arteon vs the Mazda 6 2.5?

    this reminds of the drive i had last late evening in my skoda octavia 3 1.8 TSI 180HP, also made on MQB platform, similar engine, similar power to weight ratio with this car. Mine is manual and also Skoda lends more to confort rather than stability in corners, but damn, it was a fun "aggresive-ish" drive, pumped me with some adrenaline i can tell you that. I love the engine character, very free revving, very responsive, very smooth power delivery and liniar (mine is limited to 250Nm unfortunately, but still good enough). Maybe one day i'll upgrade to an arteon, since it fits the same category as my Octavia, but one class higher.

    Brilliant video uncle :) Brilliant review however the only thing that disappoints me is that :
    1. VW brought the Arteon quite “late” into Malaysia (while in Canada n Singapore we have it for almost 2 years)
    2. VW’s decision to launch the Arteon as a CKD vehicle (my personal preference cuz if I were to buy a continental car I would rather have a CBU version)
    3. VW Malaysia detuned the Arteon to 190 PS , with no 4Motion All Wheel Drive System and sunroof option...(To me it’s just horrendous...a VW is suppose to be fun and utterly brilliant to drive)
    Despite all these complaints from a VW Arteon R-Line owner living in Canada...I still envy the Malaysian version for having the Golf R steering wheel as a standard equipment. Cheerios everyone :)

    • @YSKhongDriving
      @YSKhongDriving  Před 3 lety +1

      I think the decision to make it a CKD did impact the launch timing, and also the Covid 19 issuue contributed. to it. some people may prefer a CBU, but the majority of people will appreciate the CKD programme as it brings the price down to a decent level. We are already paying high prices for cars here in Malaysia. Thanks for your input anyway, Cheers.

    • @johnthiam2446
      @johnthiam2446 Před 2 lety

      Basically it is a choice of a 1.5 litre turbo or a 2.0 turbo tuned conservatively, amd a choice of a cvt versus a 7 speed dct. Both cars are similar in size, one Japanese one German, both good. Take your pick. Wireless charger is not a deal breaker, I should think.
