This vehicle is a POS. Parking brake engages when you stop at a light. Warning bells continuously dings when stopped and error message says “warning engine running”. Numerous faults saying “door Contact faulty” with constant warning bells dinging. Interior is cheap. Thank god it was just a rental.
Wanted to love it, but I hate it!

I can’t say enough how much I wanted to love this car! It looks amazing with the black rims and brown interior but I’m fed up with the performance! I know most brand new cars need a break in period, but this is ridiculous. I’m purchased my new 2021 Atlas SE Technology R-line October 14, 2020. Initially I loved the car. It drove well, but I did notice a jerking with acceleration, and when restarting from auto start/stop at red lights, but it didn’t really bother me since I was used to it in my BMW. But I’m the last month, it’s gotten really bad! Slams to a stop if someone makes a u-turn near you or attempts to come into your lane, or even just backing into your garage! It will freeze if you’re trying to park and changing gears, then jerks forward or backwards! No fun if you’re in your garage and fearful that you’ll drive into your house our structural pillars outside the garage. I could go on but think you get the general idea that it’s not a good car! 8 months in and I’m ready to get as far away from this car as I can!

I have had my atlas for almost 2 yrs, so I’m pretty familiar. I’ll start with the things I appreciate: Looks great Handles beautifully in snow/ice Very roomy interior & great cargo space I have the package which includes remote start & heated everything including the middle seats - highly recommend for a cold climate! Things that drive me bananas & make me hate driving this car: The Apple CarPlay tech is glitchy & inconsistent- I have to reset multiple times per week. Idk if this is a VW or Apple issue or the problem is the 2 together. But it’s ridiculous & should not be an issue at all The sensors that tell you you’re about to hit something are INCREDIBLY overly sensitive. As in, when I come to an abrupt stop they beep. If there is a snow flake within 6 feet, they beep. If I pull up next to a car at a light l, they beep. I have asked & apparently there is not way to adjust or turn these off. The new (I’m guessing cheaper) brake materials make your brakes sound like R2D2 - even when new (not needing to be replaced) & clean. Worse when it’s cold. I paid too much for this car to have brakes that sound like they’re grinding. VW dealership would NOT replace without charging me. These cons may seem like they’re not a big deal but they really are VERY ANNOYING when you drive day in & day out. This will be my last VW purchase.

Spacious 3rd Row!

After comparing and test driving similar 3rd row SUVs, the space that the Atlas offers is... well spacious. Even with the 3rd row up, you’re able to to fit 2 large suitcases in the trunk. My 6’2” husband is able to sit in the 3rd row. It drives smooth and has great tech features - especially if you have an iPhone.

Fell in love with this vehicle. Finally found one that the dealer could get the color and trim I wanted. I have had it 3 days thus far. Love driving it, BUT don't love the audio system dropping out losing all audio output for all options. NO sound for anything related to the audio system. REALLY!! Volkswagen??? I would have expected more form Volkswagen. These types of issues does not just make you look at the audio system it makes you look at the whole vehicle and is a disappointment. Had such high hopes with my purchase of this vehicle. Purchased a high line version of this Atlas. 3 days of ownership and already disappointed. SAD!!! Item 2: WHAT's Up with the HORN. what a joke. am I driving a SCOOTER????? WOW!!!! I work for an automotive OEM manufacturing company. I have no clue what was going through the Electrical Engineering group when they picked this horn. I'm shocked that Volkswagen Engineering let this go. Wow a Scooter Horn!!!! REALLY????
