  • Amazing car!

    Just bought the car, and I absolutely LOVE IT! I purchased my Cross Sport at the Beaumont, Texas location, and had the fastest and easiest process. Shout out to Nick at VW of Beaumont for being awesome and helping me get in this beautiful car! If you don’t have a Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, go get one now! So much space and the interior of the car is absolutely stunning and the technology is an extra plus about the car.

  • Interior designer should be fired

    I have had my atlas for 1 year 56000 + miles on the road. Interior has some big oops we diddnt think of thats. Phone charger in cubby. Useless shifter and drinks make it un usable . Drivers seat way too far to the right not centered to cluster, the steering wheel and distance between door to seat and seat to console. RightKnee developes bruses against console. Plugs for usb, audio and lighter is like threading a needle in a inclosed black dark box. Accident waiting to happen ... that is all for now trading it in for a truck.

  • REPETIVE ENG/CNTRL MODULE ISSUES/AC-FAIL/W.HUMID

    THIS IS A FAIR CAR , BUT OVER PRICED , WITH CONSTANT RETURNS TO INEFFICIENT VOLKSWAGEN SERVICE DEPARTMENT , IN DENTON,COUNTY,TEXAS. MANAGERS WANT TO SELL CARS , BUT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN HELPING GET CAR REPAIRED AS OF LATE . THE # 1 VOLUME VW / DEALER IN DENTON COUNTY , CAN SELL AS MANY CARS AS THEY WANT ! BUT SERVICE IS LACKING FROM THIS PICTURE ! A LAND ROVER DISCOVERY WITH A SUPERCHARGED V6 ENGINE , ONLY COSTS 20k. MORE !

  • Happy new VW Atlas Cross Sport owners

    Great exterior styling, has all the key interior features and creature comforts. From a quite smooth ride, roomy interior, comfortable front and rear seats, a well thought out dash configuration, large sunroof, and great sounding radio, just to name a few. Atlas Cross Sport offers a lot of options. We were thoroughly impressed with the overall quality of this vehicle inside and out.

  • Great features

    This car is great. It has so much room at around...from the front seats to the truck. I have the one with tech, love the wireless charging station in the front..you can lock and unlock your car from you phone and even start your car and know your cars location through your phone. It’s very stylish and sleek!
