I own this car in 2liter 150 hp R-Line version.
This is a fantastic car. The engine is enough powerful for cruising and every day purpose.
The interior is typically Volkswagen -, serious, not really fun, austere. But classy and elegant.
The driving, the handling and road dynamic of the car is excellent. The seats are a bit hard, not really comfy but it's ok.
The acoustic in the -cockpit- is quite good, not to much road nor engine noise.
Very good passive protection ( line keeping assistant is impressively efficient) you have the feeling of an autonomous car.
After 7 months of using the car I'm really satisfied. I love it.
I hope it helps even if I'm not fluent in English -!

I just got this here in the states last week, I was in the market for an A4-A5 since my last car was a 2018 A4 and I gotta say this car is an absolute joy. For the money it has just about as much to offer as an A5 top trim prestige (over 52000 before options) for only 47000 as well as more room. It-s so comfortable and quiet with an amazing sound system and with 34 more horsepower. If you-re in the market for that range of Lucy car check this car out and you might save yourself 10 grand for something just as nice

I like it, but there are two things I cannot get over. 1) The gear knob looks exactly the same as my 2012 Golf and because of that it looks pretty dated. Audi and BMW have much more modern looking center consoles. 2) It has an analogue clock on the dashboard? In my opinion that completely destroys the lines of the air inlets, and to makes things worse the clock looks pretty cheap. The satnav has a digital clock on it. The speedometer has a clock on it. Why do I need three clocks?

With regards to the SPL reading ignore the result because the microphones in phones are cheap crap so SPL readings will be very inaccurate compared to a decent quality Class 1 SPL meter. The automated emergency stop is probably useless because it takes a while to recognise the driver isn't responding and by that time you could of crashed.

So this is what car companies do when they get busted ripping off their customers of millions of dollars in scandal after scandal. They use a poor dead race drivers name like he was some kind of a cheap hooker used to being passed around, figuring he could give VW it's credibility back?
Disgusting, fowl, corrupt.

The Volkswagen Arteon isn't really meeting the luxury small car standard since it is not as sporty as some rivals. Some rivals also have better materials inside, which defeats a luxury car's purpose, and the controls are poorly designed. But, I do like the interior and the exterior of the car!

Who needs an Audi or Mercedes or BMW. when you have this. Just look at it. It looks amazing. I don't care if Audi/Bmw/Mercedes is more better and more practical than Arteon. The design of this car is. -i don't have any words for it-. while Audi/Bmw/Mercedes are quite boooring in terms of design.

It-s a way better looking car. My friend just told me about it. I love VW I have a golf now and it-s bullet proof but getting old. I was a Mercedes- CLA but several lads I work with have mercs and they are like boomerangs always in the garage. Where I can-t complain about the vw at all

Idk why the price is a problem here in the states the top range Arteon starts at 46000 I think. For that you can maybe get a fairly well equipped A3 or a Premium A4 (which really has nothing. My last car was a premium plus A4 at just over 51000 and had way less kit than the Arteon

VW has done a fantastic job with this car, it looks very sleek and extremely stylish compared to some other premium brands on the road. This car is definitely a winner. I don-t know what Matt has got against VW-s they are Damn more reliable than Audis and BMW-s and that is a FACT!
