Is the NEW 2023 VW Arteon a BETTER sport sedan to BUY than a Genesis G70? 

You speaking gold brother 👌🏿

My entire mind makes sense now 😂 I agree with this because none of the great new style is affordable! Something like this at a lower price point needs to happen

Agree 100%%%

They knew the car wouldn't sell large numbers. VW came out and said this. The car was designed as a deep dive in the artistic creativity of Tobias Suhlmann Marc Lichte who designed the car and had hands in designing cars for Bugatti. They sold the most arteons ever last year in USA at 5,537 cars. People are starting to understand the price. I drive an arteon every day and I understand it. If you are concerned with the price you don't understand Audi pricing once you pile on the options the arteon comes with even fully loaded. It is truly under rated. A Jetta buyer isn't going to look at the arteon just as much as they aren't going to look at the atlas. 26k vs 46k is a price gap

get a slightly used SE version, you will find the price to be late 20s or early 30s.

You are so very right about that!

I hadn’t even heard of it 😮

It's a actual good car. I heard someone say right sedan wrong time which is sad. It is a beautiful car. Maybe the aero will inherit some of it in the future.

It's a great looking car but with that kind of money might as well get a A4 or A5 same price but with more features

Because they are going to stop making it... u can't even get it in Canada anymore.

That’s an excellent point

And when you bring it into the VW service center, the service manager goes cha-ching cha-ching

@@Ginger30161 I see what you did there!

@@Ginger30161 ..isn’t that the truth….better lease one instead of buying…

That's exactly like I want my car to be. Feel kinda special

That is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing your ownership experience on this one.

I know right Omar!

Like the Passat.

Under rated, but they want sell mom cars like the Atlas or Taos.

@@clothestravellike the phaeton

It's quite subpar that this doesn't come with North American versions.

@@alfred493 typical german bullshit

BS, we understand these cars perfectly. What bugs us is when the bean counters at VW decided to cheapen the brand & jack up the price to ridiculous prices. VW was always behind on their horsepower compared to the other brands. They were always ahead of the other with safety & then that changed. They had piston’s for the hood & trunk. They dropped it. I had 1 Jetta & 4 Passats. They dropped the leather for fake leather which doesn’t hold up. The price point of the v4 Turbo Premium Gas vs V6 AWD regular gas was nearly triple in price. The equipment was the same as the Turbo 4. The pricing didn’t make sense. It was a huge gap. It was $48K then for the V6 in 2003. This Arteon is stunning. Problem is it’s not being advertised. It’s being pulled from the US Market. Now everyone is saying buy it before it’s pulled off market. Problem is too. The German brands reliability has fallen by the wayside. Improve reliability then the market will pickup. I loved my 2003 VW Passat. It was Blue with Gray Leather interior. It had a Moonroof. I had heated seats. I loved the sound system. I have an even better car now 2018 Lincoln MKZ AWD Reserve 2.0 Turbo with a Moonroof & incredible sound system. It has heated & cooled seats, heated steering wheel & hill assist, 2 automatic parking assist hands free parking. Multiple safety equipment to many too list. My car is all push button too. When I go on throttle it pins me in my seat. I have never experienced that in any Turbo 4 in my life. I have in my 6 cylinder 2011 MKZ & my 1978 V8 Pontiac TransAm 400 engine.

You hit the nail on the head!

Always loved the cc body style ! Was browsing some 2016 2017 ccs they are at a very very reasonable price and the mileage I seen on a few were still under 55k miles.

Me too, its a good looking & reliable to have. Honestly, my CC is the best friend for any pocket😂

I am still driving a 2011 VW CC - struggling to trade it in because I like it some much and it has been so reliable...

I believe you get them on the highest trim level. I have the range topping SEL Premium and mine has heated rear seats and 2 USB type C in the rear with a 12v (I think) as well as the climate controls.

Audi a7

@@MikeMUFC91 for the low price of 60k….

No pun intended right

The atlas does come with an inline four....

This is very true! Thanks for sharing Dave!

@@RaitisRides It is also offered in the Tiguan R, which you are really missing out in North America.

@@DaveDVideoMaker you are spot on.

@@DaveDVideoMaker We'll get over it here in the States.

@@ivanlowjones I hope you will. Currently there are no plans for VW to bring it there. Probably because the Tiguan sold in North America is quite different from the one sold in Europe, and the Tiguan R is based on the European Tiguan. So I’m thinking Volkswagen should make a Tiguan R based on the North American model.

Hey man. I’m in Minneapolis and I have a twin of your Arteon. The Conti Pro tires suck, though. Swapped them out for Vredestein Quatrac Pro rubber. Nice addition to a great car.

I have a silver one with 12k on the clock. Infotainment failure: module replaced under warranty. Also 2 interior rattles had to be sorted. Interior quality looks better on 23 model though.

@@johnfrykman4113 What issues did you find with the Continental tyres?

Very good points Alex.

Stop it the G70 destroys this long Ford Taurus looking car.

@LACLIPS it’s not a Jetta. Nice try.

I think if the Camry XSE V6 came in AWD the Arteon would be a direct competitor.

@LACLIPS absolutely FAR from a Jetta, even a Passat. That’s the thing, people don’t understand this car. I adore mine. Better to be different! Can count on one hand how many I’ve seen and I love that.

Love mine as well, in Lapiz blue!

Mine too. 21 SEL Premium in black. Brilliant car, especially if you get the APR tune.

I'm curious how the sound insulation is on these cars. I use to think that VW's let too much road noise into the cabin. Is this an issue for you or is it pretty quite? Thanks,

@@charliefunboy5210 I've had a Tiguan and 2 Golfs and the Arteon is much quieter than any of them. If feels much more premium in all regards.

Mine is functional I don’t know when they took that away 😂

My 2020 SEL has quad exhaust coming out those rear openings. Not sure when or why they would change it. The rear bumper looks exactly the same other than that.

Hey Michael, I own a 2022 G70. I wish I would have gotten the twin turbo 6 Genesis offers but I didn't. My car is stupid fast as a 4 cyl. turbo but as usual, we aren't satisfied. So instead of trading it in on the TT 6 , the APR tuning has intrigued me. I'm in Southern California and was wondering if you could share the pros and cons of doing this "service" to my car. Thanks for your time.

@@danielquaternik22 I just tuned mine a couple of days ago. It’s way more power than stock and even better if you have 4Motion I love it

@@danielquaternik22 if you go with “APR+” you’ll retain a factory warranty through APR. It’s a touch less power but they’ll cover anything if it goes wrong. Pros - completely wakes the car up and is night and day faster. Cons - if you go with the high torque file you’re going to lose warranty as it’s an ECU tune. “APR+” however, not sure there are any cons. Complete piece of mind.

@@staiifresh502 Are you in So Cal? If so, any recommendations on a "tune up" shop? Thanks

@@MikeMUFC91 Awesome!! I'll look into it. I really appreciate the response. Thanks

Probably just some plastic pieces that have worn a lil bit

Why did you sell if you don't mind me asking?

@@macjoseph2375 because I needed a daily that was better on gas due to more traveling for my new job, so I bought a suburu crosstrek. Also sold my Corvette and got an ATSV. I don't stay with cars too long lol

@@japanwatchconnection A little less than $38,000

I have a 2019 R Line Premium in Kurkuma Yellow Metallic, and I have never received as many compliments as I have with this car. People slow in traffic to check it out, I get admiring comments regularly, and people walking on the street often go out of their way to look at it. It's stunning. And it's top-notch quality, fit and finish. I love driving it!

Same here but you will be loosing on a couple of cool features (rear heated seats, ventilated front seats, you will now get the rear fake exhaust) if you do so because of the chip shortage issue and if you finance you will most likely get a way higher interest rate 😫

I love my 2019 base model Arteon.

I knew you would like the Arteon.

How’s the car holding up ?

Very good points David!

It’s basically a “cheaper” clone of the Audi A5. BTW, I love driving that way on Rome, also, Joe! I do it every day.

@@daveepstein4816 and a lot more spacious and practical

I adore mine. Brilliant car

@@daveepstein4816 it’s every bit as good as an A5 quality wise. I’ve owned both.

You are so very right about that.

You have good taste!

This is ultra rare for sure Tom

I think you may be right Erik.

I am so glad that I could share it with you!

I miss that car so much. Leased it for 3 years. A beauty of a car and so fun to drive

Oh wow ! You should get out there and get one.

My CC with my favorite car of all time

💯

Goodluck with that Hyundai/Kia engine. Not trying to knock your purchase because those are indeed beautiful cars... but their engines are trash and are known to be problematic.

@@tezh5897 Stop your curse! I own an 08' Elantra and 19' Sonata. The engine and gearbox are still perfect, excellent quality, low price, high end and sporty design. Let go of your ignorant prejudices! Hyundai offers a 10-year warranty!

@@phoenix_yih Ignorant prejudices??? You've got to be kidding me! Those engines have literally been catching fire and putting thousands of people in harms way!!! That's not be being prejudice, I'm simply stating FACTS!

The difference is this has 0 miles on it your Genesis had 35k miles on it. I bought an arteon AWD r line for 27k 22k miles. You’re slow in the head

My Genesis had 11k miles on it, has a RWD platform, and outperforms your arteon in every way lololol. @@landonc5355

vw cant cost 50k. 25-30k max. It will not last past 100k miles.

Does it come with a heated steering wheel?

@@garybudjak6396 yes

I have seen white and brown interiors on these

@@staiifresh502 there’s grey available but only with certain exterior colors.

I’m glad you are digging what VW is bringing.

@@RaitisRides Vw has to be my favorite manufacture of automobiles

@@oceanyt9334 nothing wrong with that!

Rear of the G70 is tiny otherwise I would have bought one.

I would go for it!

I’m in the EXACT same situation!! Paid $24.5 NEW in 2018. Love the VR6 naturally aspirated… and the GT sport exhaust is amazing. If they would have made our GTs AWD with adaptive dampers, perfect car. That said… I’ve always wanted an Arteon. Let us know what you decide!!

just seeing this comment and I got the 2022 arteon SEL R Line which also has the 300hp with those 20 inch wheels and its perfect. so if you still are thinking about it, honestly you should go for it. its worth it.

@@ShaheenT97 Test drove one over the weekend. I will be getting one next year most likely, I'm trying to avoid having to trade in my Passat GT so it's taking longer than I'd like lol.

@@cloudstrifex88 Its funny I have a passat gt and everytime I wanna trade it for something else I cant bring myself to do it. Its such a special car that you have to drive to understand. I think we both might keep them forever.

That would be the hot one for sure!

We don’t get it unfortunately. I held off buying mine incase they were going to introduce it here. In the end I had my heart set on an Arteon so I got the SEL Premium last July. Been an epic car

Why would VW send another version when this isn’t selling. Two great vehicles the U.S is missing out on because of suv trend. The Touareg and soon this car.

That is fantastic Derek.

Sounds like a plan.

Some 2023s have deletes and change points. Definitely premium r line

How is the cabin noise? I'm just wondering if VW has improved the sound installation. Thanks for your time.

Sure thing man

@@RaitisRides Thank You Raiti's Rides The Volkswagen Atlas is My Fav Car

@@Sunjib12345 that’s so wonderful

@@RaitisRides The Volkswagen Atlas is Like A 3 Row Suv Kia Telluride ,Honda Pilot,Toyota Highlander,Hyundai Palisade

Been selling Vdubs for many years. The Arteon has been bringing new customers since it first came out in US (2019) So, you’re wrong😅

@@rojosavw no they are right because 50k for this you gotta be loyal or have throw away money idk where you are but you don’t reflect all of the world and this car is nonexistent in sales where I live so your wrong 😅

@@Ghostlore nobody cares where you live they’re not selling where you’re at but they are everywhere else just like you said “you don’t reflect all of the world” lmao take your own advice

@@UnknownLyfe shut your face I didn’t give advice troll

@@Ghostlore “shut your face” you sound like a goofy ass child man go to sleep or something 😂

I can understand exactly where you are coming from!

@@RaitisRides you are a better man than I, I didn’t understand a single thing Ramon said, something about the G70, intersections and blind spots. Non of it made any sense.

@@martindworak I was talking about when he goes on test drives enjoy him traveling on highways and interstates. Other thing was talking about the the blind spot warning indicator mines is inside on the car instead on the outside mirror. When talking about the G70 better than Arteon talking it has better styling and will last longer.

You are spot on man!

This nor the stinger competes with the honda accord, the K5 and passat does and trust me it’s definitely stealing sales from them! The acura tlx is the direct competitor!

@@Qkazam they discontinued the Passat

I like the fact they’re so rare. It’s a way better vehicle than the Honda Accord 🤣 not even close. Wouldn’t swap mine for a Stinger either.

@@Qkazam nah they aren’t stealing sales from accords I can assure you

I totally agree with you!

Tell me about it!

I’m so glad that you approve!

I totally agree with you Tameka!

Thanks for being here!

Yep they got greedy

I totally agree with you!

I guess to cut costs?
