This is part review, part cry for help. We have had the Arteon for 15 months and have had 8 tire replacements at $300 a pop. Though a couple were rather large potholes, some were just 'bumps' in the road or something we couldn't feel. Same pattern every time - the side walls just slices open from the pressure on the rim apparently. We love the way the car drives but would love to have a solution for the tires.

Front passenger window whistles at 60 mph or more. Frameless window. Dealer not sure if they can fix it. Will t4ade out if they cannot. Great car otherwise.

Under the radar, but too much "cool" technology

Owned for less than 6 months. Pros: Better than advertised MPG (in normal mode). Tons of space on the inside; great car for tall/wide people. Very practical with the cargo space. All the tech in a car you could ask for, minus a heads up display and behind the times backup camera resolution. Amazing interior and exterior ambient lighting. Headlights are adaptive and are super "cool". Cons: LANE KEEPING ASSIST... it turns on every time you start the vehicle, and it takes three steps to disable while using finnicky touch controls on your steering wheel. Underwhelming "sport mode" due to lackluster transmission. Lots of QC issues - my passenger window, like another reviewer, also had wind noise at 60 mph and above. Very "cool" car, but way too many touch capacitive buttons/controls - I would definitely not own past the bumper to bumper coverage. Too many exterior proximity sensors that activate randomly, and no answers/fixes from dealership. My ventilated seats would turn on every time I start the car, regardless of outside temperature (no answers or fixes from dealership). The area for the wireless charger was horribly designed, and the charging speed is useless. Overall, it is a great show off car. No one will be impressed though, other than other Arteon owners, and some other VW owners, whose cars will smoke yours in acceleration and handling. Great cruising car for long distances. Not so much around town.

Over-Promises But Under-Delivers

The Arteon is loaded with techy bells and whistles but the basic design and platform are substandard for the price particularly with low-profile tires on city or urban roads. If it weren't for a Discount Tire tire insurance program, we would have spent a small fortune on replacement tire over the past three years. This deficiency alone makes the Arteon an unreliable vehicle from right out of the showroom.
