Lacks firm lumbar support and instead of keeping eyes on the road they're on the infotainment system fidgeting with the radio and climate controls. Assist systems are a disappointment. Hard to stay smack dab in the middle of a lane when looking at a screen so often which would be unnecessary if good old-fashioined knobs and other intuitive and sensible and safe controls were available. Went too far patterning this car after one that is autonomous - if such a concept will every be safe. The Tiguan is attractive and a cut above the rest aesthetically and was comfortable and easy to drive before it became futuristic. The Cross Sport is scarcely distinguishable from the other mid-sized SUVs. Doesn't squarely fit into SUV category anymore with the reduced 6.3" ground clearance down from 8". The Tiguan has more. Rear space on the Cross Sport is nice but that doesn't help with driving. It's nuts having to scroll through menus while driving. This is it for me with the VW. Back to the drawing board to revisit all other brands. There's a constant draft coming from the always-open footwell passage on the driver's right side that can't be managed. This adds to the discomfort and constant adjustment of temps and settings. Only one setting that keeps the A/C off - in the winter no less. The 2024 Cross Sport is the worst car I ever sat in. Anxious for offers to buy out my lease.

My wife and I bought a new 2024 Atlas Cross sport with 11 miles on it when we left the dealership. Two days later her Information screen when blurry and had lines running through it like a 1980's TV trying to get reception. We were told by the dealership there is not a fix for that yet and they are hoping to fix it with a software update in the future with no time line on when that might be, but you can do a hard reset on the screen and that should fix it for now and when it does it again, just do another hard reset. After owning the Atlas for a week and having less the 1,000 miles on it we get an engine warning light that comes on. We immediately call the dealership and let them know and they tell us that we need to bring it in and have it looked at. After it being in the dealerships shop for a week, they replace and injector and tell us we are good to go. We drive it again for less than another week and we get the same engine warning light that comes on. We call the dealership again and they tell us to bring it back to them. This time the car has been there for 5 days and they have been going back and forth with VW manufacture trying to figure out what the issue could be. Finally on day 5 we receive a text message from the service department telling us they found metal shavings in the oil pan and they have ordered us a new engine, new turbo and all the oil lines. They tell us they will replace it all and that the engine and turbo are at least 4 weeks out! The dealership we bought the car from has been wonderful as far as helping us and giving us a rental vehicle now both times our car has been in the shop, HOWEVER this thing has been a HUNK of Junk and for $47,000 it is not worth the money. No one should have these types of issues from a vehicle bought in this day and age.

Just purchased Premium fully loaded model. Went back to an SUV from a sports vehicle due to my dog and needing more space. This vehicle hits the spot on all needs. It is high up but driving it so far has been smooth and still learning all the bells and whistles. Have never been a fan of VW but since they also make Audi, I did not want to spend alot for a larger vehicle that met my needs. Overall, so far, I am please. Best part is that it runs on regular gas so saving almost a dollar a gallon is amazing. Gets about 430 miles to a full tank. Good comfort and sound system. still trying to figure out all the extra bells and whistles.
