    The dude in the Atlas had no idea how to drive. Come on man... My Atlas V6 is pretty damn good offroad.

    2 litre Turbo aka GTI engine on VW might change the game given it has low-end torque starting at 1600 which adds up to nicely town driving experience.Chevy Blazer has proven to be effective off-roading.

    To be perfectly honest, neither of these vehicles are truely meant for heavy duty off roading. Neither of them are what anyone would call a "rock climber" and they are not meant to be as such. They don't have enough ground clearance or underbody armor, nor do the have "real" 4 wheel drive.. They are marketed as all weather, daily drivers with some very modest off road capability and both are perfectly suited for what they are intended... 95% of buyers of these two vehicles will never do more off roading than the occasional gravel driveway. That being said, both performed reasonably admirably for what they are. BTW, as a high school kid, I used to do this kind of off roading with my father's 1974, rear wheel drive, Ford F100 Ranger. So if these vehicles fell short in any way it was most likely driver error. Furthermore I would take the Chevy over the VW any day. The looks alone beat out the boring generic look of the VW. I also test drove an Atlas last year and found that the start-stop feature was noisy, intrusive and very annoying. It was poorly executed enough to make me suspect about the rest of the systems in the vehicle. VWs traditionally have spotty reliability records so I'm not willing to give them a chance.

  • @edwardclement102
    @edwardclement102 2 года назад +1

    It has an offroad mode, so use it, it is no Zr2 or Wrangler offroad, but it is better than a Wrangler on road.

    It's funny how so many people seem to think that all people need are either "Mall-Crawlers" or "Crazy-Offroader". Atlas, by all other reviews, does really well off-road. Even if it isn't the most crazy off-road capable, it is far more than a mall-driver. I wish RUclipsrs would quit with the false-dichotomy and use more object criteria, understanding what needs the vehicle was made for, and how well the vehicle executes that performance objective.

    For a crossover the Blazer RS is nice, but man the two Js Jeep Cherokee and Japan Crossovers have really taken the Blazer offroad capabilities way down, those 4 door unibodies, back in the day the S10 was better than this offroad and the Zr2 got better, today Chevy has lockers and no 2 door Blazer Zr2, how sad. The Blazer RS is god offroad for what it is. It is interesting it can get traction with a wheel up in the air, and it goes good in the snown.

    I like the Blazer and I would take it over the VW, but how much of the poor VW performance was due to driver skill and/or understanding how to drive it based on how it’s systems work. Atlas is ugly too. In and out. Just put a pano sunroof and not such a childish interior in he Chevy. Anyhoo, clearly the Blazer was the winner.
