Aside from the huge scandal, Volkswagen vehicles have generally been reliable with great performance and the Arteon should be no different. Its design as beautiful; ridges and pinched metals where they should be and a nice set of rims (most likely optional) completes the whole package.
I'm looking for a sporty four door as my daily driver and the Arteon is definitely an option, maybe the 1.5-liter engine or the turbocharged 2.0-liter depending on the pricing. Maybe the dealerships will be more willing to knock a bit off the price due to poor sales.
