The Volkswagen Arteon is good to drive, stylish and amazingly practical when considered in the company of other coupés, and even some saloons in the executive car class. It's not as dynamic to drive as a BMW 3 or 4 Series or as beautifully finished inside as an Audi A4 or A5, but it is comfortable, well equipped and relatively affordable to run as a private or company car. Just make sure you get a good deal if you're paying outright because the depreciation is worse than anything with a premium badge.

This top-spec performance model has additions that include 19in alloy wheels, leather sports seats, a 14-way electrically operated driver's seat with massaging and memory function and a heated steering wheel.

This engine is currently not on sale but when it returns its a good option. The 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine combines punchy performance from low revs with reasonable fuel economy for the available performance in the real world – mid-thirties MPG is easily achievable.
