When Matt put his shoes on the seat back, I died a little bit

[MadProductionsink]

This is a great car, I don't think it can match Audi, BMW or Mercedes but it's close and I understand why wold people buy it, because it's different, it's not mainstream and showoff, it just does its own business elegantly.

Did you just put your dirty shoes on the seat? Really Mat?

0:01 buying something off eBay vs buying it in person

One of my favourite VW's. Gorgeous.

I like this car so much that I went out and bought it, in white; I black wrapped the back part of the roof so it’s all gloss black. I’ve tuned it to 335HP, it’s fitted with 20” standard turbine wheels already so next for me is black mirror caps, . Nothing else to do as in Australia the car is literally fully loaded with every possible extra in R Line trim only. I’ve owned three Audi’s (A4, TT, Q5) plus two BMW’s (5 series and 4 series) and the Arteon is better than both, it’s also quicker and more luxurious. I’m getting 0-60 in around 4.8seconds too.

I really like VWs new design language, even on their new cargo/passenger vans. Rumours have it that the Arteon R will have a VR6 engine. Who wouldn't fancy a growly 6 cylinder lol.

saw an arteon R Line last week, it was fkng beautiful

[originalkillerstacks]

Owning an Arteon fulfilled a lot of my desires as a first car, I'm thankful for having the opportunity to drive such a luxurious car. And the drive is completely on a different level. Due to unforseen circumstances I no longer posses such a beautiful car. Thank you. My appreciation is on a whole new level.

VW really needs to do something about that steering wheel design... its literally the same wheel as in the VW UP!... just give this and the passat something more luxury looking.

Great general reviews Mat. Always enjoy and look forward to them. Keep em coming.

I remember sitting down in one about a month ago in a VW dealership and thinking that it's cool until I realised that it's a Passat on the inside. I have no idea where VW is going with this, but Arteon and T-Roc are so damn overpriced. I swear that 10 year old cars had less plastics in the interior.

[joshbacon]

On Car Throttle, I heard that VW might be working on a 400 hp VR6 powered R version of this car, but the article also said that it would be unlikely to be sold in the UK due to “a variety of reasons.”

*And those reasons would include what?*

[WearySteerer]

That auto stopping thing-a-me-jig for tied drivers is why the car is GOLD.

[L_U-K_E]

I would love it if the Arteon has the features of the older Phaeton

[Bosna]

Eventhough the interior looks like the passat, I think it's really nice and beautiful.

One of my favorite VolksWagen car :)

[balajikarthi]

I wonder why this channel is underrated!! This channel and Matt deserve a huge viewership accounts

[jakebagley]

I swear that the Easter egg was actually a phaeton

The more I hear and see about the new cars of today, the more I appreciate owning and driving my 1965, 1986, and 2008 American Ford 4 door behemoths of Detroit ingenuity. No fancy bells and whistles to break, no large screens on the dash to go blank in a few years, and all cheap to maintain and insure. That being said, I really enjoy your videos about these newfangled cars!
