Days new it almost killed us - manufacturer defect
Purchased brand new for 3rd row/storage within the class and the peace of mind of a 72k warranty. On the first tank of gas within days, not weeks of ownership, we experienced a life threatening catastrophic transmission and throttle failure while attempting to cross lanes and merge into 65 MPH traffic. The car’s transmission went into emergency mode and while attempting to move us to safety, the vehicle exceeded 5500 RPM trying to shift into 2nd gear at a painstaking sub 20MPH speed. We avoided a life threatening collision despite the surrounding 65MPH heavy traffic and for that we are thankful. Volkswagen admitted the faulty manufacturing and attempted to repair. For obvious reasons, we are not interested in placing our lives in danger again by driving this vehicle. It is notable that VW has also changed their warranty for 2020 year to be 48,000 verses the 72,000 on model years 2019 and earlier. Buyer beware. VW’s quality must be called into question as the depth and scope of the emissions scandals and a very significant reduction to the fleet wide warranty program for the 2020 model year seem indicative of larger issues within VW.

GARBAGE
Terrible torque converter issue that the dealer states is normal for this vehicle. Grinding nose when you accelerate at low speeds is when you notice the noise as well as rough low gear shifting. Very sad VW does not support their customers. Id anyone has had an luck with getting this issue corrected, please post.

Luxury & Sport on a smaller budget
I fell in love with this car. The luxury feel, the sporty options for speed & auto transmission availability with a sweet budget changed my interests from Ford & my lineage with Honda. It handles great in the snow with the 4motion. I can fit 6 other people too! Beautiful lines, simple & sexy. I feel different in this vehicle compared to what I was driving before! Many thoughtful considerations in this SUV. And the 2019 still has 6yr/72mile bumper to bumper warranty! Awesome!

2019 VW Atlas
It came down to our final 3 choices. KIA Telluride, Hyundai Palisade and the VW Atlas. Our preference and comparisons were based on fit, comfort, style and the amenities offered at the trim level of SEL for the VW and Hyundai and the EX trim for the KIA. They were all great. What pushed us over to the VW was the fact that every dealer we worked with for both the KIA and Hyundai wanted as a base MSRP PLUS! Some dealers were selling both the Hyundai and KIA for thousands over MSRP. That's crazy. The VW dealer we worked with us gave us a "returning customer" discount ($500), a first responder discount ($500) and a VW discount of $6,000. MSRP was $46,000 with all options . Walked out with a bill for $39,000 that took our old car payment down by $100.00 / mo. Granted, it's only been about 800 miles ago, but I don't have a bad thing to say. I look forward to a long relationship with this rig.
