[@KC_88631]

@@msya2831 You cannot compare VW to Mercedes or BMW bro as their price point are different level. For instance, VW Golf highest spec is RM169k where else a Mercedez A250 is RM253k. VW handling should be best compared to Renault or even perhaps Toyota and Honda too.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thank you Nick.

[@clspecialisthealthcare5688]

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. Another entertaining watch and keep it up uncle!

Hi YS, 👍👍👍. There's only one thing left for Erik Winter to do ie. Improve the aftersales service of VW Malaysia, nationwide.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thanks SilverScreen for your great support all this while!

[@vladmihai306]

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.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Wow, I love the fact that you can buy a manual. Over here, manuals are very rare, and almost non- existent in some brands. Thanks for a very good share.

[@vladmihai306]

@@YSKhongDrivingyes, in Europe manuals are still available. Frankly, this engine kinda needs an automatic because i can't really do the shifts as fast as the dsg, but it's more involving.

Most experience man on the go!

[@leonknapp]

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?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha , I just love to drive, and some noises are music to me.

[@russell8826]

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]

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]

We would also rather have Conti cars as CBU given the choice but a VW Arteon 280PS 4Motion alrdy cost USD58k. I am sure most Canadians and Yankees will jump. Brsides, Malaysia is a tyropical country. Sunroof is a waste of space and option.

[@imataquito005]

Need feedback on Arteon Vs Accord Vs Camry... In terms of power, comfort, handling... And overall feel... Curious about the new Mazda6 rwd too...

[@JJ-wp6ld]

Yup. D segment face off.

[@IqramMianji]

So yeah, we got what uncle ask for, 4motion 280PS Arteon. Awesome!

[@davidletterboyz]

21:00 Actually which is the best way to tell if you are cornering at the maximum capability of the car? When it starts to screech a little? Or it has no screech at all?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Depends on your lines. I can make it screech everytime, for effect. Fastest is when it just starts to screech.

[@santiagocabrera260]

Overall handling, driving dynamic etc between Arteon R-Line and Honda Accord 1.5 Turbo which one is a better buy? No wireless charger, USB port at the back is quite a let down.

[@YSKhongDriving]

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.

The Arteon would be more comfortable, and much larger, but the cla may be more agile, because it is lighter, but likely to be very harsh on your butt.

The car is built as an executive sedan, and behaves like that in so far as NVH is concerned.
