Great Car until you need it fixed

Hello, When I traded in my Passat for the VW Atlas sport, I was in heaven. Also leased this vehicle, 1st time ever leasing. The interior room and size of the vehicle is amazing. The drive of that vehicle is amazing also. However, I've needed a part for the car for over 8 months now and still waiting. I am leasing a vehicle that all the bells and whistle I paid for do not work. Not to mention that I drive my grandkids in this car and don't even feel safe in it anymore. All I get from my dealership is the parts are on back order. Would love to keep this vehicle but afraid after I purchase it they won't fix it. As much as I love VW this experience has me ready to move to another vehicle brand.

2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport review: Our expert's take

By Joe Bruzek

The verdict: The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, like its bigger brother Atlas, carries people and cargo first — luxury comes at least third, maybe fourth.

Versus the competition: What the Atlas Cross Sport lacks in opulence it makes up for in sheer roominess and great drivability.

We’re fans of the Volkswagen Atlas and quite familiar with it — we’ve given VW’s big people mover a bunch of awards, including our most prestigious. But what if you need to haul fewer people? New for 2020 is the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, which is a two-row, five-seat version of the three-row Atlas that competes less with the Ford Explorer and Hyundai Palisade and more with the Ford Edge and Hyundai Santa Fe.
