[@divinehatred6021]

Wow, this is a really awesome quality of content for someone so small. I was suprirsed to see you dont have even a 1000 subs while your quality is on par with channels that have 500k+

[@rve3716]

Very meticulous in-depth car review. Bravo!

[@michaelfedorsha8147]

This is shockingly fast. 13.3 in the quarter mile for a big 4 cylinder sedan and from VW is impressive. Plus, the car is gorgeous

[@billlump3792]

I got a 22 SEL non premium R-Line a few months ago. to replace myt14 CC that was totaled.. Your review is fair and spot on! They are a fantastic vehicle but I don't think at the as "new" price point.. The one I got had 4K for mileage and the as new window sticker was 48k and has everything but the rear heated seats, 360 camera, and powered trunk. At that price point new there are so many other options to look at.......But on the used market I got mine again with 4k miles for 37k before down payment and that price you get SUV level of space and cargo, a good deal of power, and a great deal of of luxury! Bur you certainly want the 22MY and up for the added power and DSG. You were very thorough and factual with your review! Keep up the good work!

[@aidenshearin1637]

Only a few (very minor) complaints: fake exhaust tips and the capacitive touch buttons inside. Beyond that it’s perfect

[@adamvanlewen7712]

I hated polishing carbon from the exhaust tips on my Audis. I love the fake tips on this car.

[@LocallsYT]

I was skeptical of everyones complaints about the haptic buttons on the steering wheel. Ive had my arteon for 3 months now, and I havent had any issues with them. They function exactly like regular buttons. U cant “accidentally activate the buttons” either, u have to press them as much as a normal button. In comparison my sisters Tiguan has the normal buttons and I personally hated them, they felt very cheap, and they are way more susceptible to wearing away after time.

[@Jenny_Thalia]

@@adamvanlewen7712 100% agree, I can live with the fake exhaust tips if it means they will stay looking clean.

[@Jenny_Thalia]

⁠@@LocallsYT People just love finding reasons to complain. I love them and find them way nicer looking than the regular push buttons in older VWs.

[@LocallsYT]

@@Jenny_Thalia yeah I love the modern look of them, especially how they sit flush to the wheel. On my sisters 2022 tiguan I feel like the normal physical buttons look pretty dated and tacky now. I also found the haptic buttons to be more comfortable and easy to use honestly. You can hit them anywhere, along the edge, right in the middle, etc. and itll always give you the same feedback

[@jlam6449]

My father still is holding onto his 2013 CC that is eclipsing 150,000 miles at this point. He's put money into it with timing chain tensioner replacement and carbon cleaning but largely the car has been trouble free. As much as the CC is a relic from a bygone era of well assembled Passats, I really want him to trade up to the Arteon before this too is put to pasture.

[@j-1332]

Nice video dude! I have been a fan of the Arteon since it first came, and was looking for a full and in-depth review of the most recent model year for the vehicle. Sad to these go after 2024 though, seems like an outstanding product offering for a SUV/Sedan shopper.

[@michaelquinn8757]

I purchased a 22 SEL R line in early 2023. Love the car. People remark how beautiful it is. The hatch trunk is enormous. No regrets at all. Beware, low profile tires are prone to blow outs from pot holes. Get the tire insurance.

[@alvin1039]

I have a 21, and I love it. I think it's the tires. I have had 3 blowouts and researched a lot of tires. I brought Giovanni tires. 4 for under 400.00. No drop off in handling, been on car for year. Will buy a 23 soon and not waiting for potholes. New tires, too. Go to Walmart or Priority tires sites

[@wolframluchner5316]

This car feels like 10 years old. Everything about it is a generation behind. They go for $10k off MSRP, that should tell you everything you need to know.

[@абвгдђежзијклљмнњопрстћуфхцчџш]

​@@alvin1039what is the model of those tyres please?

[@Dlwinborne]

Thanks for this great review. One correction; the transmission is a 7-Speed DSG.

[@tristan.z]

You are correct! I was going off of older information as these switched from an 8-Speed Automatic to a 7-Speed DSG Starting with 2022 Model year cars. Compared to a 2019 that I drove prior, this one had the low-speed lurches that were to be expected of a DSG. Thank you!

[@AaronDubina]

Bought the 23 SEL premium r line with only 40 miles on it. Retail is 52 but I bought it in 2024 so it was on sale for 46 . Pretty damn awesome I love the car can't think of a single complaint. Especially enjoying the Harmon kardon sound system, has a sub woofer in the center of the spare tire which is another awesome thing, it has a full size matching rim and tire. Lots of vehicles don't even have spare wheels at all 😊

[@Jenny_Thalia]

Damn, they did you dirty. I got my new Premium SEL R-Line in Kings Red for $43,000 today. Basically $10,000 under MSRP

[@alvin1039]

Mine is 21 in Kings red, I'm about to buy 23 in the same color for 41,200

[@Jenny_Thalia]

@@alvin1039 Nice! You’re gonna like the extra hp and features. I love mine and like Aaron have no complaints. It’s truly an amazing car and I love it.

[@divinehatred6021]

Yeah, this car looks very good to me, 11/10 design with no flaws, good potential for some tuning, so its very very weird that they stop the production of it, is it only to fulfill the "emission" demands that make no sense at all?

[@jeffreymohrlock5503]

unfortunately they stopped production to the US market due to lack of sales. The US market right now is geared towards SUVs. Large Sedans/liftbacks are not desired anymore.

[@divinehatred6021]

@@jeffreymohrlock5503 thats not really true, a lot of people didnt become obsessed with SUV, even among "general masses"

[@jeffreymohrlock5503]

@@divinehatred6021 It is factually true. Hence why toyota has 6 different SUVs for sale. 46% of all cars sold in the USA right now are SUVs. the other 54% consists of trucks, vans, hatches, sports cars etc etc...

[@stevekramer6189]

Really comprehensive review...nicely done. Now I'll know more than the dealer when I go to see one. 2023 is the last model year -- it was 2024 but VW updated and said '23s are the last. Hoping to haggle a decent price.

[@independentnegotiations2710]

Great Review 🥂 Thank You Very In depth and informative

Wanted a premium but nobody has any had to settle for sel

[@faautobahna9416]

Very good detailed review. I am considering this. Can you please give your opinion of the Harmon Kardon sound system here? As an audiophile, this would be my only reason to go for SEL Prem otherwise mid SEL R is doable. Many owners of the '24 Atlas SEL Prem R are disappointed by the Harmon Kardon sound in it. Thanks.

[@NeverlandRancher]

What is dependability like? I saw a 2020 with 50,000 miles, but I am nervous about it.

Not a fraction of the cost of an Audi A5 sport back. About a 5-10k difference depending on what trim you get. Beautiful car though. Getting this or a Rav4 hybrid this Summer.

[@DailyDriversCarReviews]

One correction, it’s no longer an 8-speed from 2022-2023 it now has the golf R 7-speed dual clutch.

[@garyhawkins1941]

Actually a 7 speed dual clutch transmission.

[@DailyDriversCarReviews]

These are a deal now, some of them with up to 10k off msrp because they aren’t selling, and will no doubt be sought after in the future

[@maryd86]

Where are you seeing them? Hardly any SEL Premiums in Southern California and very few Black on Black. I'm willing to go out of my way for this car, But how far remains to be seen. And there are virtually no new 2023's with any kind of discount. Even some used with low mileage are priced above anything reasonable.

​@@maryd86why u prefer black on black over blue white or red?

[@MaulaJatt786]

VW's best kept secret, Arteon ! Because it was such a secret, they didn't sell many and discontinued manufacturing these this year 2024. So no more new ones being built on order. Prices will drop for used vehicles as demand isn't high for them yet in UK. If you do buy one Parts will eventually become a problem to get hold of IF you plan on keeping it for a long time. It is a shame because the Arteon Type R, 320BHP version is like a rocket and a better option over the A5 equivalent. Bye bye Arteon 😭

[@jerrypeters0312]

Good review. Try to take "lovely" out of your vocabulary. Just a suggestion.
