it is not a rabbit off the line but good enough. it has lots of space for cargo and plenty of room in the second row of seats for a big person.

Overall I thought this was a great option, one of the best in the class that we tested. We did not buy as at the time we were shopping it was a brand new vehicle and there were no deals to be had. This size SUV is in a crowded field and there are many other options.

Great SUV. Lots of power. Easy to drive. Plenty of leg room in back seat. Transmission does not down shift when ascending inclines and hills. So far, VW will not stand by this defect and fix the problem.

Really nice SUV

I’ve had this car for a little over a year now. I really love taking it on long road trips since it’s very comfortable and quiet on the highway. The car feels really solid. However I do have some complaints. The transmission tends to shift in a jerky manner upon accelerating from a complete stop or when accelerating from slowing down. Also, there’s a very annoying creaking sound coming from the b-pillar that has never seemed to gone away. Lastly, the 2018 model has had numerous recalls issued so I’ve had to take the car into the dealership multiple times to address these.
