2023 VolkswagenArteon SEL R-Line For Sale

I leased this off the showroom floor and still love the way it looks and drives after 42 months, 36k miles. Never had a vehicle that received this much interest from other folks. Other than the dealer installing a new AC compressor in the first 6 months, the car has had no issues, the all wheel drive really grips the road, avg 30 mpg highway. Lease is ending and may just buy this one.

This is a great car. As the review mentioned it is an easy ride that is well balanced. The digital cockpit is very user friendly. As my wife says it is like driving an Audi A7 without paying the price. The spacious cargo space is great for people with kids that have to move them to dorms or drive around with lots of sports gear. One item I noticed is that the review mentions that it comes as a 7 speed automatic. However the specs on my R-Line SEL premium mentions an 8 speed dual clutch. The same as in a GTI. This makes 0-60mph in Sports mode in 4.4 seconds which is very fast for a large heavy car.

This car is an unicorn in the sedans class. Aesthetics are incredibly elegant. The materials are upscaled to an Audi sibling. Comfortable and fun to drive. The functionality checked all the right boxes yes, but doesn't not perform as many of the premium brands. Ventilated seats works perfect, seats position provide a wide range. Stereo is incredible good and that is about it. Massaging seat is sloppy and turns of by itself. Digital cluster lacks essential information, navigation isn't bad at all but finding the code to reach the right address requires programming skills. The infotainment works as expected if you forget about the gesture commands. And wireless Android Auto keeps disconnecting on specific locations. But at least is proportional and symmetric on the dash. Not like those disgusting floating screens. The engine is extreme and intense for a sedan. The transmission is impressive but requires engagement to reach the full capabilities. Do not expect the dual clutch to do everything right by itself. For some unknown reason the cooling fan will stay operational some times after turning off the unit. You will deeply miss fog lights as they just don't exist. And be sure to select a beautiful aftermarket 19 inches rims, as the factory 20s will be eager to flat you tires on every small opportunity the get. This car is es as beautifully as a sedan can get. But comes with big sacrifice on functionality. Which you will quickly forget once you step on the gas a find out how enjoyable it feels at high speed. Do what you want but take this into account. Those 20 inches will keep you bussy replacing tires. Change those to 245/40/R20. Those will make all better. But not the spare, because it will not fit the designated space.
