Its not as classy as it looks. It is not as refined as I thought it would be for the cost. The seats are not that comfortable. The media system is not user friendly.

The technology is not user friendly and not at all iterative. This would stop me leasing another VW

This is a fantastic car to drive. I chose it for looks, and it does receive admiring glances, and comfort (long journeys are no issue) and it hasn't disappointed.

Th car looks amazing and is quite rare in terms of how many I see around the north west. The technology that comes as standard is great all be it a little buggy at times. The entertainment system can be amazing or sluggish and crash no in-between, I'd say it's quality tech on a budget. It shares the same engine as the GTI but lack the noise for some reason. I think it could do with a little extra umph, especially considering its sporty look.

For the money, the Arteon is fantastic. Loaded with great extras including matrix lights, adaptive headlights (which are unbelievable), apple CarPlay, adaptive cruise etc. Super comfortable, amazing legroom in the rear and it looks brilliant. Still rare on the roads.

I like the space, the tech, the performance is good but not stellar, the styling is amazing. I dislike that such a large vehicle has no rear wiper and reduced rearward visibility and does not include a reversing camera as standard but the parking sensors make up a little bit for this. The fuel consumption is average. Everything else is good

2.0 190hp TSI - The space in this car is vast, I go camping several times a year and have no trouble taking more than really needed (seats down) even with the dog in the cage. The ride is very comfortable and gear changes are not even noticed unless you drop it in sport mode to get better throttle response, it is definitely a cruiser and picks up confidently when needed. I have seen a lot of reviews that mention bad turning circle. I can't say I have really noticed, and I can park it fine, but I would understand if some struggled without camera's. Saying that, the parking sensors are fine for me. Technology level is excellent, especially when compared with rivals in terms of what is standard. MPG around town isn't the best. My work commute of 17 miles either way is fine though, 42mpg on average. Had it at 49mpg when on long road trips. The ACC can really help with efficiency if that's what you want. Love my Arteon, and love the looks it gets, as not many on the road so it stands out (for the right reasons). Feels very refined.
