It's not just the price/range keeping me away from this... I saw the video on changing a cabin air filter on this thing.
If that's how the air filter was engineered, I have my doubts about the rest of the vehicle.
Cons: doubts about engineering

They changed something on the Arteon vs other VW models -- the procedure is the same, but those tabs just don't bend. I got it done, but it should not be that difficult.
Cons: tabs don't bend

I have changed cabin filters multiple times, and cleaned the evaporator with foam. I first used Klima cleaner, then I tried DWD2. I can not get this problem to go away.
Cons: musty smell, mold allergies

Approaching 7k miles on 2018 GSW S 4motion 6mt, loving the car. -Warranty work to clean musty smell out of HVAC system, and replace cabin filter. This was performed free during first oil change. Dealership was excellent throughout the process and told me to not run recirc before shutting the car off.
Pros: Dealership was excellent
Cons: musty smell out
