VW Atlas

My SIL just got this car, and I am curious why someone would get this over a Highlander or Ascent (she has a Subaru now in fact). Consumer reports hates the car. Is it especially great to drive? Trendy?

Mom groups love it. No one knows why.

Oh wow, SIL is a huge Instagram Mom influencer type follower. Really do you think it’s just because some influencers like it? What kind of Mom groups are you talking about? Are they virtual and I look at them? I’m so curious? I really want them to get a Highlander because they have car problems. It affects by MIL.

So I guess if you only plan to keep it for like four years, it’s a good deal because it’s so big and inside. But the consumer reports reliability is abysmal, but I assume for influencer types they get a new car frequently.

German cars don’t get stolen on DC streets

German wheels don’t get lifted

Are you saying that German cars are so unreliable that even car thieves don’t want them? 😉

Like I said, when they have car troubles, it impacts my MIL, and I wish they would just get something reliable, not trending

Yeah the huge size and the car seat friendly 3rd row access makes it minivan like and thus a hit with mommy bloggers with a gaggle of kids.

It’s only a little bit bigger than a pilot cargo wise, yet only seats 7 passengers vs a pilots 8. I guess if you are carrying 6 kids and hockey gear that’s the priority?

Consumer Reports hates Jeeps as well, but Jeep owners keep buying Jeeps.

Among the Highlander, the Ascent, and the VW Atlas, I find the Atlas most attractive--but, it is the only one that I didn't test drive.

Atlas looks so boring but perhaps that’s a plus?
