Owning one for a month already. Overall impression is good. Pros: -Big. I go for fishing trips, take my inflatable boat with me. Previously had CX-9, had to bring down one of the 2nd row seat to get this boat inside. With atlas i can keep them up, so i can take my family AND the boat together. -MPG is better than i expected. I'm getting 23mpg on the trips which includes lot of mountain roads and some offroad. I had 17.5mpg on the same trips with my old Mazda. Getting 25mpg when cruising over the flat land. -Nice offroader, well protected from the bottom. Good angles. -Steering is good. -Interior is practical, easy to clean from dust and dog's stuff. Just washed seats with lot of soapy water and they looks like new. Cons: -20inch is too much - bumpy ride, affects performance -Jerky gearbox when in ECO mode - trying to switch gears too fast and too often, S mode is much better, but keeps rpm to high. Will definitely keep it for 5 years. Thinking of lifting it up a little and putting offroad tires on 17 inch rims.

@ryanfrisby73894 жыл бұрын
Howdy, great review! I like the Atlas quite a bit, but it’s a shame that got rid of the LED front turn singles! The only turn off for me is the poor fuel economy! Y’all are awesome!😸😻😸

Get 2 litre Turbo with AWD. It is fuel efficient if fuel economy is your main concerns. 👍
@ahsanmalik10133 жыл бұрын
@Joseph Payton That depends on engine. The one I have is very small 2 litre Turbocharged engine which is very proven fuel efficient compared to old Vr6 that is gas guzzler. Most V6 are gas guzzler since they have six cylinders. Hybrid is next best option for fuel efficiency after four cylinders turbocharged and diesels.

I am sorry VW but you simply don't know how to built a car. There are always something major missing, a good transmission or electronic reliability or in this case fuel economy. These are not minor points... It's a shame after all these years still can't catch up with Korean cars. Yet it is a great looking vehicle

They should've dropped the 2.0T and upped the HP of the 3.6 V6 and added an optional TSI version of that V6. Put in a 10 speed automatic. For better fuel economy.. The engines are the weakest link in comparison to the competition.
