VW DOES NOT BACK THEIR VEHICLES

RG, 01/03/2021
2020 Volkswagen Atlas SE w/Technology R-Line 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
9 of 9 people found this review helpful

Many buyers including myself have had issues with the a sluggish jumpy first to second gear and also an screeching noise many times at low speed acceleration. Based on the VW forums and my own mechanic, this is a faulty torque converter. My screeching noise is getting worse and VW simply states it is normal. Will never lease or buy a VW again! Buyer beware...STAY AWAY as their dealers do not support their customers after the sale.

Nice car

I was a little concerned after reading other reviews that the car would be sluggish or not have power. In just the first couple of days those concerns have been taken away. It does not have the power of a V8, but it has plenty of pick up especially for a four cylinder in this size vehicle. If anything I notice speed will creep up on you due to the smooth ride. Only had the car a couple days though so there will still be lots to learn about it. We are happy with it so far though.

No acceleration

The 4 cylinder model actually had better get-up-and-go than the 6. Both models had significant lag when accelerating from a stop.

A BIG Ride

gmoaintlo, 06/26/2020
2020 Volkswagen Atlas SEL 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful

The suv rides nice and acceleration is tolerable for such a big auto. I like the German styling inside and out. The suv is built like a tank and should last a long time, the styling will allow the Atlas to be timeless.Technology is great. I have only one issue, I wanted the 2019 but there were none available, I loved the previous front end and daytime running lights on the 18 and 19 models and believe the they be classics one day.
