You’re welcome. Took the car to Baltimore this Thanksgiving weekend which was 3 hour trip. Was a nice ride, especially for the passengers who commented so, very smooth with the 20” wheels and VW Atlas suspension. Only area which is probably down to me practicing more, is movement of 2nd row seat to access 3rd row. It seems to not lock down each time. I will continue to get used to way it needs to happen though and report back soon.
@@hipsterium- thank you! We are replacing a 2018 Atlas with this 2019, and have had child seats installed in the 2nd row. You might be getting the issue where the bench wants to slide back to knees of the 3rd row passengers. There is a certain way of using the latch at the top of the seat to open so that when it is returned back to its normal position, it stays where you've moved the seat forward if needed, instead of as far back as the seat track permits. It just takes time getting used to it.
Just bought a 2018 SE with technology. Has 15,350 miles on it. We grabbed the extended warranty bumper to bumper 8 year or 120,000. Whichever come first. We absolutely love it coming from a 2020 Tiguan SEL!!! MUCH bigger for my pregnant wife and 10 month old.
@@kennybrooks8374 yeah test driving one this weekend. It’s an SEL-R line. Am having doubts though. Need to stay away from those forums as they only seem to talk about the problems this car has
Gretchen Taylor 4 cyl Turbo cars close to 1.5 second delay to get moving . Critical pulling out in traffic when unexpected. I get in and out 3 different cars each day
i have the SEL premium and you cant turn it off permanently, it requires you to push a button to disable it each time you start the vehicle. some say that you could override it, but i'm not sure if that is true. it is an annoyance, but its not bad, i remember to turn it off after the first time it turns off at a stop light.
Just returned from a 3000 mile trip last week. We went on a road trip through Canada. We didn’t have any issues at all with the car. We loved the space especially with 2 kids - an 11 year old, the other 14 yr old. So what we absolutely loved was the space. Perfect for our needs. Kids had plenty of room in 2nd row. They loved having charging ports for each of their iPads etc. We folded 3rd row so PLENTY of space for luggage (more than we needed). When at destinations we loved having the 3rd row to transport our friends and family all in one go (leaving our luggage behind). I used a lot the Driver Assist and adaptive cruise control, helping me stay with lane while automatically making adjustments to direction and speed based on car in front accordingly. My wife who drove parts of the way has been very skeptical of this tech in the past, but she found it useful too on this trip (although she is still skeptical a little). I wish it would let you ride a little longer with lane assist before asking you to take over steering - I understand the logic behind taking over steering - but I just feel it could be extended by 15 to 30 secs more. We loved the entertainment system with Apple Play. We used Spotify all the time (especially since we signed up for the Premium service - fee for 30 days - or have to listen through the ads). Always felt sturdy and safe. So all in all, I’m really happy with the purchase. It’s now 1 year since I bought the car. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier.
Love the design, I hate the cheap cheap plastics inside and I am also not crazy about the two underpowered yet not fuel efficient engines, somehow Hyundai turned into VW and VW turned into Hyundai, funny stuff the car world
I’ve been in Hyundai and Kia products and they are loaded with cheap plastic all over the interior. Name me a few manufacturers and specific model that don’t have plastic in this price range ??? I own a 2019 Atlas with a V6 and it has plenty of acceleration from start to merging onto the highway. My Atlas has 77k on it now and it has been performing spectacularly !
I can assure that there is SEL with R-Line which is the car we have. There is also an SE with R-Line. A good source to see the differences can be found on the VW website which shows each model within the Atlas range. Hope this helps.

hipsterium why are you replacing 2018 atlas with 2019?
I didn’t. The 2019 was my first and only purchase.
So you’re a New Jersey boy! I can see your registration sticker ... anyway I bought a 2020 Atlas in white color... love it..
Great Review!! I just got the 22 model, when I place the car in Park all the doors unlock. Is there a way to disable that? I can't figure it out
Gotta love the dog running around with a big ball like "play with me, screw the car "
🤣 our doodle couldn’t understand why the focus not on her and a car instead!
So can u share approximately how much the out the price was? Thanks
Thank you for video, have a question. Can remotes linked to memory seats ?
Mc Cylk yes under driver profile

10 month old? Jeez you couldn’t wait a little bit longer before knocing her up again? Damnit
@@nthgcangetmedown4573 I had to. I'm 47 years old. Lol
@@kennybrooks8374 haha! Agree with you! Hard to keep up with my 2 boys here and am 34! Congrats byw
@@nthgcangetmedown4573 thanks bro. You end up getting an Atlas? If so, which one v6? You like it!?
@@kennybrooks8374 yeah test driving one this weekend. It’s an SEL-R line. Am having doubts though. Need to stay away from those forums as they only seem to talk about the problems this car has
very nice video, does it have power folding mirrors?
No, and that is one of those weird things with all the tech in this car that I would love to see on future versions of this model.
The 2019 SEL premium has power folding mirrors
It can be set to fold when u lock the vehicle
Can you turn Start-Stop
Permanently? It’s a major annoyance and dangerous pulling out to cross traffic .
Darren you can turn it off or on
I want it off permanently. I get in and out 3 cars everyday . It should ask me if I want to turn it on . But I fixed. It permanently 😆😄
Darren how?

Do you still have it? How did it go?
Follow up and update too please
Follow up and update please
I literally yelled “your gonna scratch it” when he lay the fobs on the hood ...! Fukkkkxxx
I really like the Volkswagen Atlas. But to bad it's not reliable and customers are returning they're Volkswagen Atlas under the Lemon Law.
How has it held up?

That’s the Se R-Line not Sel R-Line, there is no SEL R-Line
I can assure that there is SEL with R-Line which is the car we have. There is also an SE with R-Line. A good source to see the differences can be found on the VW website which shows each model within the Atlas range. Hope this helps.
hipsterium you are right I confused SEL R-Line with SEL R-Line Premium, I meant to say there is no SEL R-Line Premium, I’m sorry
