I have driven the Car for only 800 miles and I already have an appointment for a light on the dash , faulty maneuver braking function that needs attention, honestly not a good thing to happen in a new car. Second I am missing my folding mirrors, third issue is gas consumption, which I kind of knew since I bought it. I found out that setting it up on Eco Mode saves a bit more. Other than that it's a great FULL SIZE SUV priced rightly compared with other brands

Good value. Lots of elbow room not cramped. Nice ride. Has a good size third row with headroom and legroom. Visibility is good. Compare to some other SUV’S this is a great one to drive.Even with the third row up there’s enough room for your groceries and more

At first, looks are deceiving but once I left my big Ford Expedition and settled into the Atlas, it was a game changer! This smaller engine upheld the power it promises and the space was good. I down sized because my kids grew up and have their own cars now. I recommend this car to those moms who are looking to down size in style! I will upgrade soon to the bells and whistles trim!

Great Vehicle Still Going Strong after Three Years

2022 Volkswagen Atlas SEL Premium R-Line 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

After three years driving our 2022 Atlas R-Line, we have no major complaints, and love it. I am constantly amazed at some of the online experts who trash the Atlas (specifically the Cross Sport) and VW in general -- as unreliable and expensive and other things. We had wanted to get another Toyota Highlander back in 2021, but their new models' awful styling turned us off, and the lack of passenger side comforts. Our R-Line has both heated and cooled seats for both front seats and second row! Something that usually you can only find in luxury SUVs. Also adjustable. We love the Room of our Atlas -- it hits the "Goldilocks" just right button for not too small, and not too big. It's just right... and is just right height off the ground. It's also stylish and I think it will still look good 10 years from now as opposed to some of the other competitors which use awful anime and cartoonish styling. The only complaint I have is of course, gas mileage, on our V-6. But it's tolerable, and I find that it has plenty of oomph when we need to accelerate or pass someone. It's loated with teach -- overhead camera to help park is a must! Collision avoidance.... We love this vehicle. We'll see how it holds up over the next three years, but for now, it's been fantastic.

The Atlas drives beautifully. It’s smooth, responsive, roomy and for it’s size good on fuel. I am very pleased with it.
