Need help buying your next car? Click www.carwow.co.uk/help-me-carwow and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson!
.............................................................
This is the new Volkswagen Arteon Shooting Brake!
Volkswagen may not be the first name you think of when it comes to premium car designs, but we have to say, we’re absolutely loving the look of this Arteon Shooting Brake. It sounds like VW heard you all complaining about the looks of the new Golf!
But given VW isn’t exactly the first name most of you think of when it comes to premium cars, is this Arteon estate effectively just a Passat in disguise? Or should it be considered as one of the best estates you can buy in 2021?
There’s only one way to find out - watch Mat’s latest in-depth review!

    Hi everyone Mat here 👋. I just wanted to wish you all a happy new year. And would like to hear what you'd like to see more of and what you wish there was less of on this channel. I'll read through all of your comments for ideas... And don't worry, I won't be offended to hear about what you don't like. Thanks for your time!

Also if you’re reviewing a midlife update to a car, could you also cover what competitors are doing eg. If they have a fully refreshed model coming out. This would be really helpful in deciding what to buy. Thanks!

You don't learn anything and there are so many ads. Mat doesn't criticize these cars, partly because they are new and you can't. Why doesn't he review these cars after ten years to see how they hold up? This Arteon isn't much different to the first Passat CC if you put them side to side. How is the price acceptable compared to a normal PASSAT. Why doesn't he talk about the dual clutch transmission and the fact the Volkswagen outside the EU sells it's cars with Aisin8? If he is a professional journalist he should know these things and discuss them. If you want a real car channel where you learn something check out Car Expert.

    You also have over 100 litres more boot space than the Arteon... The Superb is still the biggest Estate the VW group do by cargo volume, which is literally the reason to buy an estate in the first place. A washing machine will fit in the back of the Superb without folding the seats down - though you do have to take the cargo cover off.
