Love the car so far.

This car has so many options I don’t even know yet. I have a lot to learn about these. So far, I am very happy

Loved my purchase

I love practically everything about it. Spacious, smooth ride, great technology, great lines - aesthetically pleasing.. it really is an awesome car. I do wish the gas tank was bigger than 15 gallons because it is an SUV, but it doesn’t bother me enough to change the fact that I’m loving this car.

Best family car I've owned

First to start off this vehicle has more space than I could imagine. Comfortability of sitting in the seat feels as if I'm a captain of a spaceship with the drivability of a sedan. The comfort of the ride control taking corners straight line or even off bumpy roads felt as if I was riding on a cloud of pillows, just effortless. Definitely love the Atlas from the to the back of vehicle.

Great Daddy Mobile! Needs engineering fixes.

I love the look of this 3 row SUV. I looked at MDX, Pilot, Highlander Hybrid, RX450h, Ascent, Q7, and the QX60. The Atlas is the best overall 3 row family car for a dad in my opinion. It is the winner out of all I considered because of the looks. There are other good looking models but they lack 3 row vents or lack the space the Atlas offers. With all that said, I am pretty disappointed in the air noise from the doors when at higher speeds. There is an obnoxious air intake manifold noise that is "normal" per the dealer. It only occurs when accelerating from a running stop and only lasts a few seconds. The sound is something I would expect in an old car with belt issues, not an over 50K top model German SUV. VW, please address this air manifold and the wind noises...You nailed it with the Atlas but these two noise issues make me not want to recommend this car to family and friends.

Brand new truck out of service in 1 week.

This has to be the worst car money can buy. Dont buy this car. It broke down after just 600 miles. No joke the whole brain box went out. No fix for it in the near future.

New Atlas 2019

It’s big, there’s room inside, no buyers remorse on my end, Apple play is convenient, adjustable sun shades built into the door in back, third row easy to move up/down, captain chairs in second row easy to adjust

Love this sub!

We have a family of five and need a full usable third row, this has it. I am 6-4 and fit very comfortable in the third row without my head Hitting the ceiling. We drove every SUV manufacturered, before purchasing a Honda Pilot in 2017, then the Atlas came out. The Atlas out performs the pilot in all aspects except acceleration.(still decent) What the Atlas lacks in take off it definitely makes up for in luxury. The ride is smooth, the interior feels like a super car, and balance of steering is perfect.

Best Mid Size SUV On The Road

The atlas is a larger bodied mid size suv. This harkens back to the SUV body style from a few years ago prior to suvs looking like mini vans as they do today. We bought the SEL trim black on black and absolutely love it. The vehicle looks amazing and everything in/on it is top quality for its price range, unlike many competitors. If there is one complaint I might have, it’s that Fender speakers do not come on anything less than the premium trim. That’s not to say the speakers are otherwise inadequate. The full length sunroof is amazing, remote start is a huge convenience, and the v6 AWD is more than enough for a family of 4-6 with a full load. Not to mention the 3 rd row seat is actually kind of spacious for a guy that’s 5’8” 190 lbs. It may be a bit more in price than other comparable suv’s But you’re truly getting what you pay for and it is well worth the little but extra. We had a Honda Pilot touring before.

Noise in rear passenger's side

Has anyone experienced a "knocking" noise near the gas tank area on the passenger's side? It has been looked at several times and have been told it is a characteristic of the car.
