I bought the cheapest in-channel window visors on Amazon!

Hi there! My atlas VR6 is very slow (acceleration wise), and I was wondering if you could relate. I have a VR6 Atlas as well, and mine feels like I'm towing something heavy even when I'm not. Sport mode doesn't make much of a difference either. In fact, when I'm in eco mode, I only get about 16 mpg, which is not great. When I switch to sport mode, I get about 14 mpg, but the sluggishness doesn't go away. I'm wondering if you have found a way to fix this issue? Maybe there's a performance upgrade or a tune that can improve the power and efficiency of our VR6 Atlas'. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

To add, I have crossbars on my Atlas. Do you think that could be causing my issues?

Bingo, my cross bars sit in the garage until needed, I lost 1-3mpg with the bars on. Without the bars I’m getting 17/8 city and 24mpg Highway in eco mode and eco shift and 18’s w/stock continental tires and regular fuel. On snow tires with winter mix I was down in the 14/6’s city and 19 highway. That said, the Atlas isn’t a sports car. What did you drive before this? It also only ever feels fast when I shift it myself, the transmission software is useless for anything performance or spirited. I have to really dig down in the gears to make it even move at 60mph.

Also, you can compare your 0-60 to this: kzbin.infoDYwEqsuZISw?feature=share

@@BestHombre Oh, it must be that! I 'm so glad it's nothing worse. I will be taking my crossbars off tonight! I already know the MPGS weren't going to be great, nor the speed, but it seemed terrible. Before driving the atlas I drove a 2021 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T, and it was fast. I think that's why the Atlas feels so slow to me. I just wish the Atlas had a little more power from a standstill, but the drive is great, so I don't mind it to much.

@@BestHombre Thanks! I'll check it out and test mine.
