I think the Arteon coupe is the most beautiful vw currently in production. I am not a vw fan, but they always catch my eye. The shooting brake is a less successful design in my opinion.

[@betterbeavailable]

I think the shooting brake is the best looking estate on the market. Looks good and I don't usually like estates.

[@davosworks]

Arteon is not coupe anymore. Its just sedan and Combi with bezzelless Windows. CC was Coupe, it also had coupe seats (they were different than in passat), also it was originaly 4-seater. It had predecessor of IQ light, Arteon has basic lights, basic seats from Passat, and only black interior. Last coupe from VW was CC

[@Cloxxki]

@@betterbeavailable I love the external looks apart from the VW front. Seems like a car that doesn't back up the pretty face with practicality and that kind of ruins the estate thing. I can't decide what to get. The Skoda Superb is so bland, the Passat looks like a Golf in a bad way. V60 looks old. Opel is pricy for what it seems to offer. Maybe E/C Class is just the way to go...

You don't learn anything and there are so many ads. Mat doesn't criticize these cars, partly because they are new and you can't. Why doesn't he review these cars after ten years to see how they hold up? This Arteon isn't much different to the first Passat CC if you put them side to side. How is the price acceptable compared to a normal PASSAT. Why doesn't he talk about the dual clutch transmission and the fact the Volkswagen outside the EU sells it's cars with Aisin8? If he is a professional journalist he should know these things and discuss them. If you want a real car channel where you learn something check out Car Expert.

You also have over 100 litres more boot space than the Arteon... The Superb is still the biggest Estate the VW group do by cargo volume, which is literally the reason to buy an estate in the first place. A washing machine will fit in the back of the Superb without folding the seats down - though you do have to take the cargo cover off.

Ten years from now.. halogen will be like vinyl records or photographic film or tube amplifiers. LEDs are so ubiquitous that they don’t even matter anymore.

Matt what are the reasons to grab this over a superb scout? Aside from looks which is subjective? The scout has adaptive dampeners standard, AWD, a bit more clearence, bigger boot, more headroom, same motor and gearbox, equal warranty.

Man we never get the cool stuff in America that foreign manufacturers make 😡😡 No golf R estate, no GRMN Yaris, not even a wagon version of the Kia Forte That Arteon is soooo sexy!! I have a 2017 golf sportwagen but I’d buy that Arteon in a heartbeat!!

I understand the annoyance with the uneven load surface when the rear seats are folded, but the simple and more practical solution is to open the rear passenger doors rather than bowling your items from the rear towards the midsection of your vehicle lol!

I am with you Mat on the idiocy of having touch controls for the climate control. Utter madness! I wonder what car manufacturers are thinking. Unless the touch controls in the HVAC panel can double up to control other functions too, there is simply no reason for not offering physical controls.
