Thank you for all of your comments and feedback about Sarah. We really appreciate it. This is is very helpful. And thanks for the heads-up on the VW vs Audi platform. That was a stupid mistake on our part that we'll never make again ;-)
The Fast Lane Car Is that the same Sarah from a long time ago, when you guys raced up lick skillet road in the RDX, Acadia, sequoia, and some sort of Audi?
Hey guys they are not built on the same platform the audi is built on Audi’s MLB platform and the atlas is built on the MQB platform so they are very different. Sorry I had to criticize but she is a great addition to Tfl cars
Hey guys, there is a mistake. They don't share the same platform, Audi Q7 is based on MLB platform, used in vehicles like Audi A4 or even Porsche Cayenne. By the other side, VW Atlas is based on MQB platform which is used in vehicles like VW Golf, Tiguan or Audi A3.
It is actually refreshing to have someone new on the show , and I must admit she is very natural and knows her stuff without looking like she is trying or forcing it. well done .
Sarah,she can fit in the third row seat,which would make her the only team member that can pull that off.I could tell she was a little uncomfortable working with Roman,so she must be normal.Good luck Sarah.Of course i liked Charlotte too.
WTF Roman? The Audi Q7 is on the MLB 2 platform, shared with the next Cayenne, Lamborghini Uris, VE Touareg, and the current Bentley Bentayga. It is a TOTALLY different platform than the MQB that underpins the Atlas/Teramont/Škoda Kodiaq, the least of which is that it’s not a transverse [engine] matrix! Love you guys but this distinction changes the entire premise of the review! And yah, usually lie flat international long haul business-class *is* in fact the distinction between arriving somewhere well rested and therefore productive, vs. someone stressing in agonizing jet lag for 48 hours.
You did great Sarah! You really knew the quick facts that the listeners and audience will greatly appreciate! A couple notes to consider being in front of the camera - Smile more - project your voice - lastly, really engage with the camera and Roman! Other than that, so happy for you to join the crew!
She's a keeper guys. I've seen some of her videos before and you can tell she really has a passion for the automotive world. It's awesome to see a knowledgeable Lady representing automotive journalism.
This is one of those VERY rare moments when I get off my Xbox to post a needed comment on RUclips. I would love to watch Sarah giving the beans with The Fast Lane team. She's entertaining and love cars. Plus sometimes it's nice to compare the views from someone young and.... not so young. If you can keep Sarah then it's a must.
Sarah's a natural, hire her. She delivered her lines well and will get better with time. The fact that she's tall will help point out which car interiors may be an issue for taller car buyers. "That's what's up!"
I've been watching her channel for awhile now. She's definitely a good addition to any automotive show -- very knowledgeable and not afraid to get dirty.
They actually do not use the same platform, the Audi is on the MLBevo Platform (Bentayga, Cayenne, Urus) but the VW is the MQB platform which is more suited for Transervely mounted, Front Engine Front wheel drive cars (Golf, Polo, Jetta, Arteon, Tiguan) I like the video but wanted to make that clear so please don't think that these 2 cars are the same
Dear TFL, if you bring Sarah on the show, she will put you all to shame when she drops the JT-6 Turbine in the Green Monster and Gold Mine hill will just be a dust patch....
Q7 is built on the MLB platform, which is the same as the Touareg, Bentayga, and Urus. However, the Atlas is built on the MQB platform, which is the same as the Golf, and Tiguan. TFL should have done more research!!!
+Saleem Drayton Actually the Q7 uses the traditional Quattro which is a torsen differential (not the new ULTRA Quattro) while the Atlas uses the FWD biased haldex system like the Focus RS and the Golf R, it can only send up to 50% to the rear wheels!
I was at the dealer the other day looking at 2018 q7 prestige, I think the dealer was referring to the Ultra Quattro which may be an option. I am not certain though.
I do not think Audi will do that. ULTRA is a weird AWD systems that cuts off power to the rear on highways for vertically placed engines. It is there just for better fuel economy. For horizontally place engines, haldex just cuts power to the driveshaft and it does not lose power. However, ULTRA is not efficient because it has to transmit power to the middle of the car and then to the front wheels. It is a BS system Audi made for their low end cars in order to ditch Torse, while still being RWD biased AWD in city roads. Audi would not be that stupid to put the ULTRA in their high end cars because ULTRA cars simply does not drive as good as the Torsen Quattro cars.
Took my 2014 Audi Q5 TDI for the NY State inspection today. First inspection since the diesel recall modification. Did the inspection at the same Audi dealer where the modification was done. IT DID NOT PASS INSPECTION. Something about monitors having a "not ready" state. Sorry to get off topic.
Sarah is great! I watch her channel I enjoy her content and car nerd factor and personality it would be interesting to see what she's like as a reviewer at TFL, hope to see her here again!
I follow both of y’all and she needs to be apart of tfl not only does she knows about cars but also works on them which I never seen Roman do lol and that’s awesome!!! More intel on a cars review, yes please!!
OMG I just found this video as I sit here in my hotel while traveling for work and also renting - you guessed it - an Audi Q7! I’ve been bragging to my coworker for the last two days about how much I love this SUV. I’d pay the extra 20K. Also, Sarah is a keeper. 👍🏻
I think she is worth keeping around. Of course it’s a bit awkward being the very beginning but I feel she could fit in pretty quickly. She’s got the knowledge and the wit!
We need more time with Sarah on camera I have a feeling she will get better and better the more she films with you guys. I can say information from her doesn’t seems forced she seems like a natural around the SUV’s
Definitely a keeper, the format of this video is much different than your usual videos so it’s not really comparing apples to apples but I think Sarah’s personality fits well with the channel, she’s confident and seemingly quite knowledgeable as well which becomes apparent straight away in the video. It’ll be great to add a female presence to the channel for sure and I think Sarah would be the one to go with. I never comment on any videos (in general, not just you guys :P) but I think her performance warrants a comment
It’s is not the same platform and the Atlas is bigger!!! Lol, you have mentioned it’s the same platform in numerous videos. MLB vs MQB. MLB is for the Q7, Cayenne and Touareg
Great video Sarah and Roman. Sarah was easy to listen to. Because she is familiar with the vehicles, confident, and is able to identify components and present it to us. For example the ea888 long mounted engine vs transverse VR6 and caliper piston count. Hire confidence!
Thanks for the review, in my case I bought the Atlas SE 3.6 top medium level on VW website , at the time we were looking for 7 SUV passengers there were only 4 options if I remember Honda Pilot (horrible), Acura MD (Nice but 3 row tight), and over 65K Audi and Mercedes. We are happy and i don't have get in a 65+K only 49K.
She seems knowledgeable and quick on her feet. Her delivery and showmanship is a little off, but that's something I've always thought about Nathan too and I still love his reviews. So yeah, give her a chance.
wow you guys finally teamed up! awesome video Roman and Sarah... love seeing the TFLC/T family expand.. the VW is a a lot of bang for the bucks: think Audi could improve on the styling.. much love t
Thank you for all of your comments and feedback about Sarah. We really appreciate it. This is is very helpful. And thanks for the heads-up on the VW vs Audi platform. That was a stupid mistake on our part that we'll never make again ;-)
She would be a good addition, she is a lot easier to look at than you old guys, and she does know her way around cars.
The Fast Lane Car Is that the same Sarah from a long time ago, when you guys raced up lick skillet road in the RDX, Acadia, sequoia, and some sort of Audi?
What about the miata girl?
+Ryan McCormick Emmy Hall has bounced around several channels since leaving TFL. She's too hard to keep track of.
No, this is not the same Sarah. You have been watching our videos for a very long time. Thank you!
Sarah is amazing. I hope she jumps on board with you guys.
Sarah has her own channel which is pretty good. Watch her channel also.
ruclips.net/channel/UCHSbIfwVuec_BwUrYAqN_qw
Sharah actually works on cars, she has a great personality and is fun. Keep Her!
Michelle Cipriano yeahh, personality... 😏
She's frikin awesome!
Who’s Sharah?
Brian Zhu ....thats what George Bush 2, Reba McIntyre and Michelle Obama call her.....sharah
Yes she has her own channel. Her funny, goofy and some times left field comments is awesome to watch.
Hey guys they are not built on the same platform the audi is built on Audi’s MLB platform and the atlas is built on the MQB platform so they are very different. Sorry I had to criticize but she is a great addition to Tfl cars

They are not same platform, MQB VS MLB
Wisdom of Gordon that’s what I thought.
Yeah was going to ask how they share the same platform when one has a longitudinal engine and the other transverse.
MLB Evo to be exact ;).
Cayenne/q7/bentayga/new touareg have nothing to do with MQB platform. They are not different generations of the same platform.
Yes, they are all MLBEvo platform. But is also Atlas MLBEvo or is it built on MQB platform?
Keep her!
Was she wearing stilts.
just a thin g string
Guilherme Checchia What is she, a pet? Lol
You mean him?
It is actually refreshing to have someone new on the show , and I must admit she is very natural and knows her stuff without looking like she is trying or forcing it. well done .
supernova1976 you know what else is refreshing ....a sandwich. Maybe she can make me a sandwich
Brian Lawrance lol 😂
Love Sarah and her channel she’s a true car enthusiast and it shows she definitely would be a great addition TFL
Q7 is not on the MQB platform. It's MLB 2 platform
Tan N thank you ! It kept bugging me the entire video.
If you watch some of her other vids she's quirky so she's making fun of it.
Sarah,she can fit in the third row seat,which would make her the only team member that can pull that off.I could tell she was a little uncomfortable working with Roman,so she must be normal.Good luck Sarah.Of course i liked Charlotte too.
Mike Cady Tommy can do it, but I don’t think he could successfully arm wrestle her either...
David Blalock - Livin' Life she looks pretty tall
For anyone that don't know Sarah is 5'10. She's almost an Amazonian.
WTF Roman? The Audi Q7 is on the MLB 2 platform, shared with the next Cayenne, Lamborghini Uris, VE Touareg, and the current Bentley Bentayga.
It is a TOTALLY different platform than the MQB that underpins the Atlas/Teramont/Škoda Kodiaq, the least of which is that it’s not a transverse [engine] matrix!

That stormtrooper comment cracked me up no end. Thanks for the review, always enjoyable watching your reviews.
I’ve been following her channel for the past year...She’s awesome, please keep her!!!!
My 2 favorite subscriptions, merged in one. Kudos, I’m hooked for life!
Sarah did awesome, she really seems to know her stuff.
Ralph Pecina ya she knows her stuff when she says they share the same platform when they don’t........
Dan MacMillan she is reading a script not always researched by herself. That’s the nature of the business.
Sorry but i have to point out some missinformation, the Atlas is on the MQB platform, the Audi is on the MLB platform. Not the same...
Yes! Thank you!!!! TOTALLY different platforms - MQB is FWD based and cheap while MLB is not. MQB is transverse MLB is longitudinal
I've been watching her channel for over a year. She's knowledge, great sense of humor, and appears eager to learn.
I think she'd be a great addition.
She's a keeper guys. I've seen some of her videos before and you can tell she really has a passion for the automotive world. It's awesome to see a knowledgeable Lady representing automotive journalism.
There isn't one negative outcome to bringing Sarah on. Definitely bring her back and shake things up a little.
keep her, her sense of humor is AWESOME!!! and she's not a model, she knows about cars !!!
This is one of those VERY rare moments when I get off my Xbox to post a needed comment on RUclips. I would love to watch Sarah giving the beans with The Fast Lane team. She's entertaining and love cars. Plus sometimes it's nice to compare the views from someone young and.... not so young. If you can keep Sarah then it's a must.
Now maybe Subaru will let you test one of their cars again, she drives one and wrenches on it as well
Wow, she did a great job! She will get better once she becomes apart of the group. Great interview!
Considering she can actually work on cars that a big + for her
I am new to TFL but not to Sarah's channel KEEP HER! she is great.
I only checked out TFL because of her and subscribing now.
Cheers from Australia.
Sarah's a natural, hire her. She delivered her lines well and will get better with time. The fact that she's tall will help point out which car interiors may be an issue for taller car buyers. "That's what's up!"
I wholeheartedly agree, Sarah! I love my SQ7 and i'm sorry to say, the tech and the comfort is worth the extra pounds (I live in the UK).
Susan D 🙏👍👍🙏😃
I've been watching her channel for awhile now. She's definitely a good addition to any automotive show -- very knowledgeable and not afraid to get dirty.
Go Sarah I watch both channels and it’s kewl seeing people combining channels sometimes
she sold me when she pointed out the transverse vs logitudinal motor mounting on the saame platform... and also six pot calipers. keep it up!
Not bad for the first go with Roman. Very engaging and will only get better. She’s a keeper!
They actually do not use the same platform, the Audi is on the MLBevo Platform (Bentayga, Cayenne, Urus) but the VW is the MQB platform which is more suited for Transervely mounted, Front Engine Front wheel drive cars (Golf, Polo, Jetta, Arteon, Tiguan)
I like the video but wanted to make that clear so please don't think that these 2 cars are the same
I love Sarah’s channel! I started watching her when I was thinking about buying an Audi TT! You guys are great together!
She’s the best. Her videos are always fun. It’s cool to see her on here.
Dear TFL, if you bring Sarah on the show, she will put you all to shame when she drops the JT-6 Turbine in the Green Monster and Gold Mine hill will just be a dust patch....
Q7 is built on the MLB platform, which is the same as the Touareg, Bentayga, and Urus. However, the Atlas is built on the MQB platform, which is the same as the Golf, and Tiguan. TFL should have done more research!!!
The Q7 also uses a brand new all wheel drive system and the Atlas operates off of the dated quattro one.
+Saleem Drayton Actually the Q7 uses the traditional Quattro which is a torsen differential (not the new ULTRA Quattro) while the Atlas uses the FWD biased haldex system like the Focus RS and the Golf R, it can only send up to 50% to the rear wheels!

Audi would not be that stupid to put the ULTRA in their high end cars because ULTRA cars simply does not drive as good as the Torsen Quattro cars.
I see. Thanks.
Haha... I was so confused on which channel I was watching. Sarah and TFL together... Nice!
Took my 2014 Audi Q5 TDI for the NY State inspection today. First inspection since the diesel recall modification. Did the inspection at the same Audi dealer where the modification was done. IT DID NOT PASS INSPECTION. Something about monitors having a "not ready" state. Sorry to get off topic.
The coming together of two great channels.
Sarah rocks and we love Audi & VW. Can’t wait for the next video.
Anything that has Sarah in it is definitely worth watching!
as someone who loves and watches both channels, i'd love to see you guys join forces! here's to the great idea!
I love Sarah and I am certain she will be a big asset for your channel.
Sarah is great! I watch her channel I enjoy her content and car nerd factor and personality it would be interesting to see what she's like as a reviewer at TFL, hope to see her here again!
I have been following her for a while. She is really knowledgeable about cars and is a NASA scientist. Great addition!
Really very smooth and professional for the first time, she’s a keeper and will only get better.
Sarah did really well for her audition review. I'd say welcome aboard the TFLCar team!
Already a subscriber to both of you. Sarah is a natural. Great personality. She's a keeper!
I followed her channel, great addition guys! She surely knows her stuff. Plus I'm sure she can give you a hand with those truck projects!
"I got 6 pot calipers up front , he has, what are those 2? those are cute."😂😂😂im dead
Good to see Sarah participating in your reviews. Hope she does more with you.
I follow both of y’all and she needs to be apart of tfl not only does she knows about cars but also works on them which I never seen Roman do lol and that’s awesome!!! More intel on a cars review, yes please!!
She’s cool and will give added value to the channel, please keep her!
You guys need to get Sarah she’s great been watching her RUclips channel for awhile
YOU KILLED IT SARAH!!!..fun, pretty and well informed....
She's good. Nice to see a woman that knowledgeable about vehicles. Her channel is pretty cool too. Hopefully you guys keep her.
Sarah is a keeper. She can teach you how to work on your project vehicles, so you can get more bang for your buck!
I love the look of the Atlas. I've always like VWs though since my first 1957 Bug.
After following Sarah’s channel for awhile now, she would be a great addition! She gets down and dirty working on cars on her channel.
OMG I just found this video as I sit here in my hotel while traveling for work and also renting - you guessed it - an Audi Q7! I’ve been bragging to my coworker for the last two days about how much I love this SUV. I’d pay the extra 20K. Also, Sarah is a keeper. 👍🏻
Spyder Garage my husband has Q7 we love it!
Great! she is a knowledgeable lady, she gives a fresh air to the channel!
Sarah did well in this context. Good work.
I think she is worth keeping around. Of course it’s a bit awkward being the very beginning but I feel she could fit in pretty quickly. She’s got the knowledge and the wit!
Great collaboration video. Definitely need more.
Nice work Sarah! Definitely a keeper. She's pleasant to watch and has this camera presence.
We need more time with Sarah on camera I have a feeling she will get better and better the more she films with you guys. I can say information from her doesn’t seems forced she seems like a natural around the SUV’s
Another vote for yes please! Her and Trish from that so-cal bimmer dealer are the hidden gems on RUclips automotive videos.
Sarah in TFL?? Hell yeah!!
Nice job, I like these type of vehicle comparisons as well.
Definitely a keeper, the format of this video is much different than your usual videos so it’s not really comparing apples to apples but I think Sarah’s personality fits well with the channel, she’s confident and seemingly quite knowledgeable as well which becomes apparent straight away in the video. It’ll be great to add a female presence to the channel for sure and I think Sarah would be the one to go with. I never comment on any videos (in general, not just you guys :P) but I think her performance warrants a comment
Sara rocks. Love her content and the the way she uniquely presents sometimes boring info.
Great review! Looking forward to seeing you again Sarah :)
It’s is not the same platform and the Atlas is bigger!!! Lol, you have mentioned it’s the same platform in numerous videos. MLB vs MQB. MLB is for the Q7, Cayenne and Touareg
Keep her. Love her detailing content and watching her do work on cars that I don't know how to do myself....😳
She's a keeper Roman......aviator glasses don't do her face justice....just saying..
Sarah is so natural at this. Congrats to her for joining the team
Sarah adds a bit more of the details and tech into the review. A great addition.
Sarah knows her stuff. Thumbs up!
Great video Sarah and Roman. Sarah was easy to listen to. Because she is familiar with the vehicles, confident, and is able to identify components and present it to us. For example the ea888 long mounted engine vs transverse VR6 and caliper piston count. Hire confidence!
She's great! Been watching her channel for a while.
Huge Sarah fan. Hope to see her on here more often.

I am sure the chemistry will improve as you work longer together, but go for it.

She will definitely get more views! She's a keeper
Thanks for the review, in my case I bought the Atlas SE 3.6 top medium level on VW website , at the time we were looking for 7 SUV passengers there were only 4 options if I remember Honda Pilot (horrible), Acura MD (Nice but 3 row tight), and over 65K Audi and Mercedes.

Sarah's cool, and it's good to see you Roman. Keep it up you guys. 👌
Roman, all I have to do is quote you: “That’s what she said.”
She seems knowledgeable and quick on her feet. Her delivery and showmanship is a little off, but that's something I've always thought about Nathan too and I still love his reviews. So yeah, give her a chance.
Sarah is great, very well informed and funny. Love her channel and would love to see her join the TFL team.
It will be great to have Sarah in the tfltruck and tflcar tflnow
wow you guys finally teamed up! awesome video Roman and Sarah... love seeing the TFLC/T family expand.. the VW is a a lot of bang for the bucks: think Audi could improve on the styling.. much love t
