If it’s an EA888 mill, I think I might take that over the V6. That engine has been outstanding for VW and I bet feels more peppy and torquey around town due to boost a helping at low rpm.

Virtually every mainstream automaker (except Mazda) offers two vehicles in what we Americans call the "midsize" SUV category. Three row vehicles that average between 195" and 204" in length and a two row SUVs that average between 187" and 192" long. When VW added the Cross Sport to its North American lineup they kept in mind that Americans want larger and typically less expensive VWs than their European counterparts. So the Cross Sport at 195.5" in length is an outlier in the 2 row group, just as the Tiguan is large for a compact SUV. Comparing most automakers' two row vs their three row midsize SUVs, the difference in length is at least 6". In VW's case the Cross Sport is only about 3" shorter than the Atlas. Other than a third row of seats, what does the Cross Sport gain or lose compared to the 3 row Atlas? Well, the Cross Sport doesn't have a major price advantage. That's not unusual, though. The same is true of the Honda Passport vs the Pilot. Simply chopping off a few inches of length from the same basic vehicle doesn't reduce the cost of production to a significant degree. Somewhat surprisingly, however, is that the slightly shorter Cross Sport has far less cargo space than the Atlas. 40.3 cubic ft behind the second row and 77.8 cf overall in the Cross Sport versus 55.5/96.8 cf in the Atlas. That difference stems from two factors. First, the boxy design of the Atlas yields far more cargo space than the "coupe-like" Cross Sport with its sloping roof. Second, and less obvious, is that the Cross Sport sacrifices a bit in 2nd row headroom (37.8" vs 40.4") it provides more 2nd row legroom (40.4" vs 37.6"). (Front row legroom is virtually identical.) Other than Dallas matrons with "big hair," most 2nd row passengers will take that tradeoff. All in all the Cross Sport emphasizes styling and passenger space over cargo capacity while the Atlas makes the opposite choice.

@@drivingsports any Turbo car should be running premium octane, the "recommended" is not always the optimal performance. All my VWs have always been filled up with the premium gas and you can tell the difference. And I believe on the gas tank door it does say "minimum 87 or 91" so anything higher than that is good and will only run better and improve MPGs.
