WTF!!!!! This dudes lighting, camera angles, knowledge, and voice was ridiculously good! Talking about a hidden gem! I subscribed!

Many of the features that you claim come from an Audi have been utilized by VW for many years, and are carried over from the CC. Volkswagen makes Audi, not the other way around.

I leased a 2020 Arteon in 2020, ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. Had to give it up when I went overseas, 😩. I tried get over it, but my heart would not be appeased. I must regain her again!! So I sought a replacement high and low, and found something my heart would accept. 2018 A5 😆. Having had experienced both now, I know the pros and cons of both cars. Each had their own charm and unique distinctions, and I still miss the Arteon but I'm very content with my A5 now. I come back now like checking up on a old girlfriend, but I got wifey now.

Just got mine two months ago (US Buyer), never saw any advertising for it, only reason I knew about it was from my obsession with VW/Audis current and upcoming projects. Seemed like the perfect fit for my commute, AWD, decent power and unique styling. Love it.

Audi, Audi, Audi. VOLKSWAGEN OWNS AUDI!!!

This is a car for Europe. We don't want big SUVs we want 4 door coupes and fast estate cars. We don't drive mom cars. We drive cars that can handle and go and don't need 50000 hp to do so.

I agree the 2.0T gets so much hate when in reality its one of the most refined 4 cylinders on the market and has been for a long time.

I've been watching a lot of car reviews lately and I'm pretty surprised at how many reviewers are Canadian. Aside from that, how well done the video are. Canadians definitely do them better than Americans. The editing is nice, the dialogue sounds rehearsed, no repeating the same thing and just using filler language. Obviously, this your own video so these props are for you, but just speaking in generalities. Good job, Canada.

Excellent overview. I was really curious about this topic and you covered everything and more! Thanks for a superb video. Hunting for an Arteon now!

Well done. I bought my arteon today and love it. It’s been on my wish list for a year but got a deal I couldn’t pass and just went for it. Super professional video and informative. I can’t say enough how impressed I am with the presentation. Thank you

I'm still astonished no one that reviews these like other Audi and VW vehicles ever mentions the fact you can upgrade your horsepower at the dealer in most cases retaining warrantee and gaining about 100 hp and over 100 tq APR tuning does several levels of tune

Most thorough Arteon review on KZfaq...good job!

Great review. I owned an a VW CC and my daughter totaled it. I went a got an Audi A6 t o replace it. Love the new Arteon went to the dealership to see. I got the Certified AUDI at a much better price. Thanks for the review

Great review from a knowledgeable Audi point of view. Excellent references between parts shared between brands too; much appreciated. It is interesting how much value is in the Arteon yet many people will miss out..great for the enthusiast however!

I had the opportunity to take this car for a weekend drive. It's honestly a really good pick up, specially now with all the deals they have. It meets all the basis that a car that size should have. Proper Hp, proper Torque, AWD, spacious, and classy looking.

Car and Driver has the VW Arteon at 64 decibels at a cruising 70mph test, which is equivalent to the new Audi A8L, Audi A7, and Mercedes S550 (66 decibels). Surprising, but as an Arteon and Audi owner, I can totally see it being true. It's way quiter than most cars I have driven. Just as quiet as my 2014 A7. The 2.0T is super quick once you are moving at least 45-55. Eliminates low gear confusion, or possible lag, that the supercharger doesn't have off the line. Can't really notice the highway power difference, in all honesty. Floor them both, and you are already in triple digits, with both pushing you in the seat very nicely. Feels really similar to me. Usually I can notice the difference right away in power, but here, both are great.

Great review! Well filmed and a geat balance between a lot of info but not tooooo long. Looking forward to seeing more!

This is the best looking car VW has out right now. I've seen someone put this slammed on air suspension and it looks stunning.

Finally someone noticed that Arteon has the same distance to A5 as to A7! European reviewers compare it only to A5 and BMW 4 series which both are significantly smaller and less practical. Good job!

I've wanted the CC when it first came out but was never in my price range. And the Arteon was never marketed. I only knew about this car through the KZfaq algorithms. And it led me to your channel. After watching your channel I was sold on it. And I bought this exact one right at Dalmar. I talked to the manager and said if I watched Acceler8. Told him I did and I didn't realize the low volume of sales but I just purchased on of your cars that you reviewed. I had it for almost a year now. Great car but not perfect. Close proximity sensor in the winter gave a lot of false warning, especially in heavy snow. Overall though I'm quite satisfied. Keep up the good work, love the edits and your new videos has awesome intros.

Great review, thank you. Surprised you don't have more subs. You just won one! Keep up the good work.

Fantastic review Mike .... well done

Not sure how i ended up here (my endless search for arteon reviews) but you haveca very nice aesthetic and gave earnt my sub.Please for the life of algorithm get more cutaway shots

This video was really good. One of the most detailed Arteon reviews out there! It's such a beautiful car. If it had more HP, or was slightly cheaper, I'd own it already lol. Just found your channel through KZfaq recommendations. I'll be checking out your other reviews too!

Canadians are killing the KZfaq car review game this channel is fire 🔥 then u throw in throttle house and the pipes lol along with truck king and auto trader ca u guys are taking over and I appreciate it

If you could fully debadge this, most people would have the hardest time figuring out who makes this thing.

Nice video, greetings from Brazil ✌🏻

Fantastic looker.This is a future classic Im sure.

I watched like the first 2 min of it, and I subscribed right away. I like the way how you talk bud. Keep going!

Best review I have ever seen.👍🏼

Well said It’s for people who wants a drive with style, very elegant and nicely build. Absolutely value for money. It is going to be my next car afte my bmw 3 series. I driving in the city with 50kmph restrictions will do good with it. Who wants 300hp when u don’t have limitless motorways? Bestcar 👌🏼👌🏼

This channel just popped up on my auto play for KZfaq glad it did I’m binge watching great channel my guy u got another subscriber and I got the thumbs up and icon bell clicked so u get that ad revenue lol just keep the reviews coming

Great video man. Looking at the Arteon or A5 for my next car.

Great review - I like the style of your reviews

The Volkswagens used to have a regular house outlet (2009 Jetta) it’s a great feature, would be great if they still had them in the newer cars as well!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="522">8:42</a> - I have a 2019 A6 Prestige and even that car doesn’t even have a direct tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), but rather an imprecise _indirect_ TPMS.

Stunning looking car, and excellent useful review !!!

Great review ! Thanks !

The paddy shifter, I think, is a fun factor. And having those, it opens up to a bigger market, makes it versatile.

This car is definitely number 1 on my car bucket list now.

You sound really nervous, or just struggling to breathe. I like the intro, thats what sold me. Dealer shots needs some work. This is my first video but I think this channel is going to be great

Attention to the details, love it!

The lightning of the video is amazing. Studio shot for sure.

Enjoyed this. Some reviews of the new BMW three series please. Which model / spec offers best value??

so happy to see awesome Canadian content...

Strange that your approach is assuming things come from Audi when VW is the parent company Who knows where either would be if VW wouldn't have bought Audi from Daimler Benz in the 60's

Great review. I agree; this car is for your 9th or 10th car. I have had a VW/Audi in my driveway consistently since 1985 (there are 3 in our stable right now). I like the real-world review of the Arteon and I now plan to buy an R-Line version as my next vehicle. THANKS!

In UK there is an acoustic pack available for arteon. Acoustic side windows + other noise reduction.

Arteon R is coming in month or two with 300+hp :))

amazing review. subscribed

Fab Car and fantastic review! I obsessed about the arteon from the time it launched 😍

Good review beautiful car. This is going to be my next car!

Thanyou for doing this review. I totally agree that this car is a sleeper an vw needs to advertise a bit more. I appreciate just like your other video the comparison between audi an vw in parts an driving experience. Your commentary while driving was very informative and i learned alout. I hope it will be my next car. Thankyou for all you hard work in making this video.

Very nice car! The white looks beautiful as well!

What a great review good job 👏👏💵

So much great info i mean just the type of video I was looking for. Can you do a 2020 Passat SE review ? I've subscribed 🤘🏼🙌🏽

this will be my 2nd car... for the exact same reasons you mentioned: spacious, comfortable, sporty enough. I'm excited 😬

I have one, probably the only one in the city and day everywhere I go I get stares and compliments. This thing is sexy but I would put it against an A7, bit of a stretch lol

great video, like it a lot. I stayed in London for 5 years and left in 2019, I knew it is in London as soon as I saw the Dalmar logo, right next to Audi LOL. Hope everything's great there. stay safe mate!

Just an upgraded CC... I’m coming for you Arteon 😍

Excellent Review. I know about the Arteon, only have seen one here in Eastern PA. Thanx. 👍🏻👍🏻

My 18 yr old just leased an Arteon in white....not sure he's a typical customer for this car but he loves it...very classy-looking car...turns heads...I've driven it and really like it...you did a good review ..I just subscribed to yr channel because of it..nice job

Very detailed review!

Great video!!

This review is top of the top!

Enjoyed the review! Interesting perspective on the paddle shifter option. Love it in my GTI, but I can see how maybe for this more luxurious car it may be kind of pointless. Nice to have that option though :)

That is a very honest review good job 👍

I fell in love with the arteon as soon as the first images circled around the internet. Imo it sits right next to the phaeton as the most beautiful VW ever made. Im actually a sailsman at VW and I just bought a 2022 Arteon as my first "own" car, because up till now I always drove our dealerships cars so I never really needed one, but because VW stopped producing the Arteon as a limo I figured this will be my last chance to ever own one myself. Perfect fit for me, golfbags fit into the trunk with ease, car drives really comfortable, fits the image of a salesman. Absolutely in love with the updated ergocomfort seats the took straight from the touareg, the massaging feature is now lightyears better than in the pre-facelift

I hit the like button.. 😁 great video

I’d buy it. Nice video bro.

Great video show the engine through

Hey, Thanks for the review. Ticked a lot of boxes. Your view on market seems spot on. This is my next purchase, though question on the 2021 r-line 320 hp is almost a need Also prefer the temp knobs instead of digital. Comfort and styling with space and price. Well done and thanks. Adam. Sydney AU.

I’m seriously considering this car

i just got a 2020 passat R-line, worth 50000... jewel. shifters are still good for downhill break engine if u want to save your brakes

beautiful arteon j'aime thank you

This is a beauty!!!! 😍

Wow.... 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Great job Bro... Greeting from India

From all the VW’s I’ve had since ‘05. My favorite is the 1.8t with 6spd tiptronic.

My first visit here.. Loved it. 🔥❤️

Good car. I love it.

Ive had a VW CC for about 8 years now. I absolutely have loved it, so much so that i think im just going to upgrade to its new version (the arteon) Great style and quality for the price

Great video subscribed very detail at first it was annoying everything you mentioned Audi but after a while it was important knowing they used Audi parts for the arteon.

your reviews are amazing. keep it up!

hands down this is the sexies sedan out my new GLI is pushing 340tq dam i love it pulls hard

The buttons near the shifter center console area are very reminicent of the 1st gen Porsche Panamera I actually love them lol

Great review.

Excellent review! I'm in the market for this particular car and I'm waiting for COVID-19 to decimate the car industry and maybe pick this one up in the summer at a low, low price. It's true, VW has done a piss poor job advertising the Arteon, of which they did a much better job when the CC first came around.

WTH, how do you only have 5k subs. (first time seeing ur videos)

Living the curves of this car as well as the proportions. Reminds me of the old R8’s flair a lot somehow

Own one and love it! Save 20k off an Audi and have a one-off that nobody knows about. I blacked out the lower chrome trim line and under the rear bumper where it has the double chin. Less questions about what kind of Buick it is....haha. You can buy one for a song and have German engineering, all-wheel drive, a power lift-gate, and the VW R-motor all for the price of a plastic, noisy, and over abundant Accord 2.0 Touring.

Just brought Audi A7 last month, have to say i like this car, if A7 does not exit, i will defintely choose Arteon.

Good review, errr aren’t all dsg boxes sequential?? And even all auto boxes really??

Awesome review. Definitely sub!

Great review! Love this Arteon! Just sub you! Cheers! 👍

Reason why the button for the heated steering is on the center console is because of the R line wheel, the standard has the button on it

I bought one of these last November and still only have 2200 miles on it. I had a 2007 Passat for twelve years that was the best car I ever owned. I liked the idea of a 6 year bumper to bumper warranty and a friend wanted to buy my Passat so I went for it. Overall pretty much everything he says about the car is correct. The chintzy clock in the middle of the dash and the crappy programming of the transmission around town are about my only complaints. This motor really needs a DSG trans pairing.The digital dashboard is kind of gimmicky as I would rather have relevant gauges but it looks cool. The Dynaudio sound system isn't very good but I don't know how the base one sounds like so I'm not taking points off it for that. It does sound better than the "upgraded" Alpine system in my Wrangler but that's not a very high bar. I got 29 MPG the only time I've taken a highway trip with it (700 mile roundtrip) and it does require Premium fuel. You can fit an absolute ton of crap (think big Costco run or 4 golf bags) in the rear without lowering the back seats. The Start/Stop system is defeatable with a switch but it must be pressed after every time the car is started. These cars sat in port for months while awaiting approval to sell at dealers so pretty much all the horizontal surfaces had some king of mung embedded in the paint. After paint correction and a ceramic coating it's pretty much perfect. I have yet to see another one of these on the road. The dealer knock almost 5K off MSRP after some back and forth so ignore the (too high) sticker on these. The dealer closest to me is fantastic to deal with so that was a large part of the decision also. I cross shopped this with the Buick Regal TourX but GM's start/stop system isn't defeatable and the seats were garbage compared to the seats in the VW.

Awesome videos

Dude, you got yourself a sub!!! I really liked your fresh take on how to review a car without nagging about how round the tires are or the steering wheel for that matter. And I really like the way you actually put in some actual facts and no BS without repeating yourself couple of thousand times over to reach the magical 20 min video!!! I have no idea how I found your channel, it was just there, YT must have kept a track on me cus' I've been looking for an Arteon to buy, in white believe it or not, and there you were on my page.... what are the chances??? :) :) :) . Anyway, really liked your take on this Arteon, I think I'm gonna go for it and buy the one I've been looking at, fully equipped 2019 R line with 12500 miles on it for just $35000. It also happens to be my wife's dream car, so I think I'm gonna make her really happy when she sees this on the driveway in a month or so.... :) Keep them vids coming! :) PS. It's going to be our 1st car, not 10th :) :) :)
