| Reviews are pretty mixed online. It checks all of our boxes but I'm just wondering why its not more popular, what am I missing? |
| Ohhhhh, a car called Atlas, not a Car Atlas. |
|
VWs are not reliable and are expensive to fix (pricey parts and labor).
This reputation (reality) also makes them depreciate quickly. Many people buying a midrange family SUV don’t like these attributes. |
| I love them. Test drive two. |
| They are a good value when you just look at purchase price if you want a 3 row SUV, but if you plan on keeping it beyond a few years it will get you back in repairs. |
| I loved mine - had to sell it bc we moved overseas. Miss it everyday. |
We sold ours this summer for what we bought it for 18 months prior. |
| I've noticed a lot of these on the road lately. I have no idea why, but I feel like its drivers have overthrown BMW as the most obnoxious. Does it have assist programs that are faulty, and give a false idea of those around them? |
They are very popular in rental car fleets because it is a fairly inexpensive 7-seat SUV compared to the alternatives. |
| Love ours. We've had it since 2017. We haven't had any repairs beyond fixing a couple small manufacturer recall items and normal upkeep. It's been a great car. |
I notice the same thing. The Atlas is a dog with both engines and filled with nasty hard plastic, but I think the drivers have a superiority complex of big SUV + "German" car built in Tennessee so they drive it like a Porsche. |
No. That would be Tesla drivers. |
|
Comfortable.
Consumer Reports lists the only negative as being "too wide for tight parking spaces". |
Oh man I've totally noticed this! They're not parked very well, either. If you have an enormous car, take the time to park it with consideration guys. |
| I like ours a lot. We’ve had it for two years and pretty much lived out of it on a six week road trip. Bought used and haven’t needed any major repairs yet. It’s a 2019. |
