- You don't just want a review of the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas SE. You want the good, the bad, and the mediocre. All from the perspective of a woman, and in this case, a short lady. Trust me - that matters!
Detailed review here: bit.ly/2Dn5QG9
Video outtakes here: bit.ly/2Ps4peF - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I wanted to take the time to thank you for your review of the atlas. Your review helped make my choice of getting this vehicle very smooth and easy. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to following your channel in the future. Thanks again and God bless.
Just want to say thank you for doing a video not a premium package for this Atlas. It is extremely helpful for making decision. Thanks and happy holiday!
I think this might be the first TH-cam comment I’ve ever posted, but this was a very refreshing review! Instead of just reading off a spec sheet, you actually gave opinions. I really appreciate that, and I wish more automotive reviews were as frank as yours. Excellent job! 👍
I’m so honored to be the recipient of your first comment! I do try to share the good with the bad but I’ve definitely never been accused of NOT having an opinion! Thanks for watching!
AWESOME review!! 😍 Thanks! Are you doing one for the VW 2020 Atlas and the CrossSport?
Can I just say this is my first review of yours that I've seen and I am so thankful. I've watched dozens of reviews for this same vehicle which all of the male dominated power driven technically driven review. As a mom of 4 you gave me exactly the information that I needed. Again thank you and keep up the good work!
This makes me so happy and why I keep doing reviews!
Check out the Telluride as well I think its alot less work if your in a hurry and on the go. 🧘🏾♀️🌼🧘🏾♀️
Omw to your video of this car now. You guys did a great video.🧘🏾♀️🌼🧘🏾♀️
Male dominated? Why talk like that? Can't we just applaud her for being a female reviewer WITHOUT bashing men for reviewing cars? Literally no one is against her doing this.
@@Allthingsfadra Thank you for your review. Not sure why gender was thrown in the mix. VW definitely makes the best vehicles with style. They even surpass their own partner companies like Porsche and Bentley by price, creativity, and innovation.
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
great review! super helpful. I’m off to pick up a 2018 SEL tomorrow and it’s really helpful to see a comprehensive but balanced virtual tour. thanks!
Glad to help and congrats on the new (to you) VW!
Great job on this review we just purchased a 2018 Atlas 2.0t SE with technology package it only has 15000 miles on it so I'm hoping it'll last for a while especially with a baby on the way and a 10 month old daughter. Much love and thanks again for this great review!!
Thank you for another family friendly review! I love watching your videos. I hope you end up getting a Lincoln sometime in the future to review. I just got one and I am curious to know what you would think!
You’ve just issued a challenge! Must work on my Lincoln connections. Which one did you get?
@@Allthingsfadra I got the 2019 MKC Reserve
This was an excellent review, thank you! I am picking up my 2019 Atlas on Friday. So excited!
Congrats!! Enjoy your new ride!
Another cool review! Thanks Fadra! 👍👍
MD!!!! Eastern Shore now but grew up not far from where you did this review.
I love my 21 Atlas SEL Premium
One of the best reviews of any vehicle. Job well done 👍
Great video Fadra. Thinking about getting one of these to haul around the pups.
It’s a well liked vehicle as you can tell from many of the comments here!
Hi Fadra, excellent review of a beautiful car from a beautiful reviewer!
Good reviews 👍! I agree about the large vehicle for short people , I wish there is one single button for selection of user profile and the memory seat and mirror adjustments in their models.
Excellent review, love the detail and demonstration of the features.
Thanks for watching!
I have a 19 atlas, I'm 6'7" tall, I love it! It's the premium model, has all the bells and whistles! My wife is about 5'6 and does complain a little about the size, her depth perception is off due to the lg hood, and parking is an issue with her as well, but overall she too loves it! We drove , 3 explorers and ultimately settled on the atlas! The mpg could be better but an average of 19.5 is far better than her accord and of course my 2010 f-150. We give it a 9 out of 10 rating!
Amazing and most simplistic review. Thank you so very much for real and unbiased review. Bringing my Atlas home this week.
Congrats and thanks for watching!
I stand 5’8” and I feel as though I’m swallowed by my Atlas. We made this purchase instead if a Denali XL and I’m so happy we did. We have 2 growing children that need legroom and this fit out budget extremely well vs the gmc. I’m a more practical gal and I dislike the start stop engine but I’m glad that it can be disabled.TFS
It is incredibly roomy - not just for the driver but for all three rows of seating. And not only did you save on the purchase price but you'll save a ton in gas!
I’m 4’11 and LOVE how big it is! I feel super safe 😂
I’m 5’0” and just bought the atlas. I do find I would like the seat to be higher, however, it has been a very comfortable drive for me! Thank you for the start-stop trick! Bugged me too
Glad you can make it “fit”! It really comes down to your own personal comfort level and I’ve had other shorties both love and not love the Atlas. Glad it works for you!
Gotta talk about the rest button feature keeps them for up to 10+ min and the start stop feature can be learned from the computer to not engage after you turn it off multiple times with the same key set. Just get the se technology pack and you'll have majority of everything.
Fadra,
Nice review. However, I'm 6'7" and there are so very few vehicles that I can operate without experiencing physical distress. The Atlas is probably the most comfortable vehicle on the market today for folks my size. Your review was spot on! Excellent analysis and very fair. I was particularly interested in seeing your review because I feel that women should do more review of cars because my understanding is that women predominately make the buying decisions when it comes to automobiles.
Tall guy (or girl)? Yep. This car is for you. My husband is 6’2” and loves VW. At 5’3” I never quite fit. And yes - recent stats show women purchase 62% of vehicles and influence 85% overall!
I’m 6’7” too, nearing end of Durango lease. Considering the Atlas but have reliability concerns. Any other vehicles you fit in? At this height, the list of choices is short.
Love it Fadra the new larger Touaeg. Great colour and presentation happy Easter
But arguably more suited for the US market. I personally love the look of the Touraeg better but reliability counts too ;)
And Happy Easter to you too!
I saw a black one with the R-line package the other day must say that thing looked pretty sexy!
Great review! btw it seems like VW has added the 2.0 tubo engine back for the SE trim.
Stay away from those GDI turbo charged. Plus the weight it needs to pull. That engine will last a lot less than the VR6. Plus carbon build up on GDIs. Get the Naturally aspirated VR6
@@bmw803 Volkswagen has perfected that Turbo engine its bulletproof
Thanks for the review... I test drove it today and thought the suspension and steering were really soft too. Nobody else seemed to mention it, but I wonder if that’s adjustable in the higher trims through to custom mode option. I’m looking at a premium model.
I agree with your assessment of it being “soft.” The only adjustment is in the drive mode. By putting it in Sport mode, you’ll tighten things up a bit but usually it’ll cost you in gas mileage.
Just bought one and want to thank you for your overview
You’re welcome - and congrats!
Ihave a 2019 Atlas and I am only 4'11" and LOVE IT ! The seat and wheel adjust so I sit high up and see more of the road. LOVE Love this car !!
Glad it suits you! My mom is also 4’11” and felt completely dwarfed in the car!
@@Allthingsfadra The dealer moved the steering wheel in for me and I have power seats that I raised up and forward which helped a lot ! I have a co worker that loved my car but when she drove it said she way to big too. I am a Realtor and my signs and etc fit in the rear helps me a lot !
I like the way you're explaining. Thx.
Can you review the 2019 VW Jetta? I recently got the 2019 VW Atlas and I LOVE it. Especially the third row, it definitely gives other manufacturers a run for their money. I don't really mind having leatherette seating surfaces especially seeing as how eco friendly it is. Also I'm okay with the Start Stop System, at times I will admit it can be a little odd but overall it's quite unintrusive. I am also interested in the 2019 VW Jetta, especially the SEL Premium trim level.
I’ll look into it. I love the look of the new Jetta!
3 months in. Only 5800 miles. Been using it mostly for trips (it's one of 4 cars I have). Trip one was from home to Wisconsin. About 1400 miles round trip. Then to Boston, another 1600 miles. Then to Central and south eastern Tennessee, about 1600 miles. I'm still holding off on my pros and cons till I get some more in-town driving but In Nov, going to drive down to Gulf Port MS then western TN, KY, then back home, Expect at least 2500 miles on that trip. It's a nice long haul driver with exception of the small fuel tank. Sorry but 18 gal tank on a SUV this IMO is a DEFECT. My MPG has been 27 at best (UP of Mich) and running 80+mph on freeway, 24mpg. Avg has been 25.7 over all. Power is acceptable but nothing like my 283hp minivan (sorry but the Chrysler Penastar motor just has more get up and get then the boring V6 from VW but it's acceptable) The FCW and ACC are great. One of the BEST features on the car. The lane guidance needs some tweaking. In the UP of Michigan, seems the person painting the white edge lines was falling asleep every 100 yards or so and smeared the paint toward the inside of the road. So, the VW would try to "adjust" every time by pulling to the left. A couple of times, it felt like I was going to end up in on coming traffic.
At this point my only issue is wheels/tires. I opted for the nice black 20 inch wheels. But after the 1st trip, one felt out of balance. VW Re-balanced it for me. 2nd trip, it wasn't bad. seemed to be fixed but not perfect. Drove on some very very smooth roads but could feel a little shaking. 3rd trip to TN. Noticed on the way home, was back to like day one. Took it in, was told weight fell off. They fixed it no charge "because it was the one we fixed before, we are not charging you". Like hell you would charge me anyway. This car has a out of balance feel to it as of day one and it's still not right, or perfect. It's not the nature of the beast ether. I have a 09 Jeep Liberty with 33's, lifted and lots of extra "armor" on it. It does not "vibrate" or feel out of balance at 80mph. SO, IMO, a $50k car should be as smooth as a catfishes skin when it's going down the road at any speed. My 2013 Passat TDi SEL Pre never felt that way at any speed. The faster you went, the smoother it got.
Don't get me wrong, we love the car even with it's known personality issues (trans shifting isn't the best imo) but wonder if anyone else has had the wheel balance issues with the 20 inch black wheels. Car is the platinum grey with black/brown leather interior. I have the 2019 SEL Pre.
I just got mine and I love it. I am 5 ft. 3 inches tall and I would recommend it. It drives like a car.
I am looking to get one for my wife. Is a 2018 with 22K miles for 23K What do you think? Any issues with the car?
Does the Atlas have laminated front cup holders? In this SUV segment the front cup holders should have a luminous rings to make easier to find the slots for you to place your beverage at night while driving...Great review Ms.Fadra👍
They don't have the rings but they have these little LED lights in between both cup holders. They don't light up the cabin but do help landing a cup or tumbler in the right spot. You can adjust most of the lighting, like the led strips that are behind the center of the dash (from side to side) and in the doors and fee area.
Great presentation
As a 6’5” guy, I find my Atlas to be a good size. My 5’3” has never tried to drive it as she is very loyal to her Subaru Forester. I happen to be a disabled Vet with a prosthesis for a left leg. While I can walk using crutches, I like having my wheelchair with me. The dealership removed the captain’s chair from behind the driver’s seat which allows me to stow my wheelchair there. I purchased my Atlas in Jan of 2020 and, with the exception of a the auto “Start-Stop”, I really like the vehicle. One big thing that bothers me is the Owner’s Manual. It seems like every topic requires the jumping between multiple pages. BTW: I have the SEL trim level .
Glad to hear this works for a tall guy like you. And I love this it’s such an accommodating vehicle for you too!
I have the same start/stop system in my 2018 Tiguan. It can be annoying at times.
great review
Great review! I only wish I had seen it before purchasing a 2019 in January of 2020. I’m 5’2” and find the drivers seat to be entirely too low/wide/deep for someone my size. I’ve driven an F150 and a Silverado and have been more comfortable in both trucks than in this car. It’s a fantastic mom car as long as you’re over 5’5” and enjoy stopping at the gas station every two days.
That’s the problem with simply test driving vehicles. They may seem great at first but after a week, you definitely pick up on the things that don’t work for you!
I am going to correct you on a couple things. 1 you don't have to go to the SEL premium to get Leather, I have it in my 2019 SE with Tech, I have the heated front seats, the panoramic sunroof and power lift gate. If you have the power driver seat, it goes up higher then the S model or Se you drove. We have now owned 3 VW Atlas's. My wife drives one as well... I personally would recommend this SUV to anyone looking for one this size..
I live bmore county but ride through the city to work daily. Had a 08 Tahoe. Got a 2018 atlas and I enjoy the gas mileage, the cab room , as well as the technology . I have the v6 and it’s not as clumsy or as the big v8 chevy . I prefer the Atlas. Much more style! Not to mention the 100,000 mile warranty!
Very helpful!
First comment ..
Welcome back 😊👏👏💝🌷
So big suv I like it 👍
CONGRATS on being FIRST!!!
Love my 2019 Atlas SE
Good. That is what this review is about. Many people will view this and say their car is better. That is not the point!
reuben francisco I am renting a V6SE right now and love it as well. Didn’t want a damn Caravan as a rental. Average mileage is running at 16mpg. Haven’t had it on the highway yet for a road trip. By turning off the Start/Stop your mpg average drops quickly at long lights trying to keep cool. Wife loves it too and the grandkids. Wife wants to buy one now but VW is not in our city.
You said it. I am in love with mine. I understand.
Great reviews!
Great in-depth review. Would you recommend this one over the Pilot?
Latin Label That’s a tough call. I can come up with pros and cons for each. I prefer the look of the Atlas but the Pilot works better for me from a driver perspective.
Fadra Nally Thanks!
I test drove both the VW Atlas and the Honda Pilot. The Pilot felt cheap, lighter, less solid. And the price points were pretty much the same.
@@mikefinney423 We just purchased the Atlas SE over the Pilot EX-L. I felt the same way. The Pilot didn't seem as well filled out as the Atlas.
I ended up getting another Subaru Outback. Overall, it had the best value to price metrics at the time I was buying.
Finally a car made for us very tall people (6'-7") to drive in comfortably. =) Usually we are rather uncomfortable in these types of SUVs, but not in this one. Thanks for the review.
Hi Fadra! Do you know if there is a vehicle that is WIDE enough in the driver seat to accommodate a person that may have swollen legs (medical issues)?
Little late on a reply here but I just drove this same make model ect and the leg room for the driver was very very big. I drive with my left leg close to the seat and not on the foot peddle thing and like half almost on the side near the door and I had plenty of room for my weird way I sit
Will 2L engine enough for highway between two cities.
RE the start-stop feature: I found that the Atlas' is pretty decent, especially compared to the crap system I experienced while driving a rental 2019 Ford Edge a few days ago.
Funny you should say that... I’m driving a 2018 Ford Edge rental this week. Hadn’t noticed stop-start in the vehicle. Maybe it’s new to 2019? I’ll have to investigate!
Auto stop start in the Pacifica is horrible
Thanks for the engine stop fetire that i was not awere of, i just bought one and I thogh there was somthing wrong with it
Awesome, loved the video
Very good review. This lady convinced me that more woman should be doing car reviews.
THANK YOU! I just posted my latest review!
You have to watch your vehicles with Turbos. They will go out on you around 100,000. It'll cost you around $3000 to get it replaced. I would suggest the V6 like this model.
Serious! You would be great!
Would you recommend 18 inch wheel or 20 inch for comfort & low road noise inside cabin.
Great question! If you’re looking for a smoother ride, you’ll want 18 inch wheels. If you want better, sportier handling, go for the 20 inch. As for road noise, it comes down to 2 things in my book: car insulation (which you can’t do anything about) and tire tread. If you find you have a lot of road noise at any size, you probably need different tires.
Test drive one with then without a sunroof. Could make a difference in the noise department.
I test drove a 2019 Atlas a couple of weeks ago in the SEL with 2nd row Captains chairs. Loved the size of the vehicle, the legroom, and the good exceleration of the V-6 engine. Also loved the warranty. What I didn’t like was the gas mileage especially when I can get a fairly comparable size vehicle in the Honda Pilot with better gas mileage and real leather seating for about the same cost.
The Atlas has a pretty amazing starting point for price. But you’re right. To get leather, you have to go with the top trim which jacks up the price. It is very spacious and has a good engine but I think you’ll find the gas mileage is all pretty mediocre in this class.
Animal skin. Nah.
I was looking at Honda's website. They mentioned leather trim but not full leather on the top of the line options. I seem to recall VW's seats are ALL LEATHER on the SEL premium models. Looking at price, a few hundred dollars more for the Atlas isn't a deal killer IMO. VW cut corners also in the interior lighting. Map lights, rear and center courtesy lights are not LED.
Raymond Lee I bought a new Teramont car in Shenzhen, China. During the driving, the brake system failed. The engine leaked oil. I asked for a return. The SAIC Volkswagen dealer did not return the car. Their power made me unable to appeal.
Yes Yes, your standart Post on every atlas Video in the Web..... -. -
Great review. I don’t really care for that model in particular, looks a little bland. But the cargo room is impressive and will be a perfect vehicle for the right person or family. :)
I don’t mind the design. It’s definitely in keeping with the VW style. But beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder!
hello, you said it's not leather, what's the interior material? Is it the same material used on the Tiguan? Thank you...
leatherette is made out of Polyurethane which coats the fiber cloth like material its a synthetic unlike natural real leather.from animals..
Naim Ho thanks for replying. Is it better than leather? I guess no. Just asking...
It depends on what you mean by "better." It's better for animals, that's for sure!! It's a more inexpensive material, not quite as soft, but I would guess it's more durable and easier to keep clean. I still prefer leather.
What's the trim line and price for the one in the video? I may have missed you saying.
The trim on this one was the SE and the MSRP as pictured was $37,040. If I miss it in the video, I almost always cover it in my blog review!
@@Allthingsfadra if it's possible can u send the link for your blog because I'm very interested in purchasing this vehicle I just wanna do all my home work first.
Absolutely! I always do a written review of all the cars I test: allthingsfadra.com/one-week-2019-volkswagen-atlas-review/
The 2l Turbo is quite a good engine. I agree with you that the V6 is outdated. VW should introduce a 2.5l Turbo (like Mazda CX-9).
I really feel like they’re playing it safe with their offerings. A large vehicle like this would be well suited for diesel too but, well, you know...
Natural engine is more smooth than turbo engine, and also people should take more careful and cost for turbo engine. VW target normal customer for this atlas , so they will lose some kind of customers but gather more people who just want to a family car. I have a SEL premium one, sometimes I wish they can offer 2.5Turbo or V8 engine for this car, but if the price increase to 60K(SEL premium cost 51K), there are too many luxuries car to compete with and VW is difficult to win
It’s a big car. Anything less than v6 is not good enough. When you load it up with people and cargo you need your big engine!
@@Allthingsfadra We should petition. Bring back Diesel. A twin turbo V6 TDI SEL Premium R-Line Atlas would make my wildest dream come true. (take out the engine stop feature like you mentioned) and allow for both key and keyless ignition. I honestly dislike keyless ignition, takes the fun out of it.
Liberty reservoir! Subbed for being in Maryland
You bet! You’ll see all Maryland locations in my car reviews!
Have you considered a sign to inform people you are filming?
Also, you never mentioned the way back. I missed that part.
It was pretty obvious I was filming and I think that invited some loud motors and hard acceleration. I normally do pretty well finding isolated spots but this just wasn’t my day! And yes - I covered all three rows!!
@@Allthingsfadra But, I was waiting for you to mention the term way back. It is irrelevant. I would not bother with responding if I were you. Have a nice day.
@@UKnowMeIMURDaddy You are an asshole
Well done.
Unfortunately the stop-start doesn't actually increase your gas mileage at all, in fact the only thing this system does is wear parts out quicker so the manufacturer can make more money from parts. Today's engines are so efficient out of the box you don't need this system. Don't believe me, research it, you would have to drive the car for 20-25 years for the amount it saves you to be worthwhile, by that time you have already spent three times as much money on worn out parts. The facts are out there, look it up.
Wow - THE Thomas Magnum? 😂 You bring up a good point. I know the reason manufacturers have stop-start engines but I haven’t done much research on them.
@@Allthingsfadra BMW has introduced a new feature called you can't check your dipstick or change your own oil anymore 🤦🏾♂️
@5:23. Hesitation? Ever drove a Pacifica?
I really want one. I brag about this vehicle a lot.
Nice car
Too bad the upper shelf was not a charging pad.
Çok süper muhteşem mükemmel.
Very nice Very beautiful
I’m not trying to be rude but your atlas is missing out on a lot of great features
God bless them 🌈👪🌍
Yes, cars still have fuse boxes 😇
Maybe it’s just that we don’t have to replace them like we used to. I remember having an old station wagon that would blow a fuse every 10th time you turned on the headlights!
@6:14 Well that’s a dealbreaker for me believe it or not. I’ve never experienced a start- stop in a vehicle before but from what I read and what I know I don’t like it like many other people. I've might deal with it if you can turn it off and it stayed off but if it's going to default to always be on that's a no go! To me it’s mostly a gimmick I mean really when you're idling at a stoplight for a minute or two how much gas are you really using that you need the engine to turn off. Now cylinder deactivation to me probably saves more gas mileage.
I double checked just to be sure and the start/stop feature is always on by default. It's definitely something you have to get used to. I'm wondering if it's on by default to help with the EPA fuel estimates. Ultimately, I think the fuel savings will depend on the type of driving you do. If you do a lot of city driving or "around town" you'll definitely see some benefits to the start-stop. I'm not opposed to it by nature. I've just seen it executed a little better. As for cylinder deactivation, I believe I had that on the GMC Sierra which was beneficial for such a huge engine, especially when you're taking it on the highway.
You can deactivate the start/stop permanently with obd eleven.
lady, i think you are looking for VOLVO XC90, all the option you like to have was stand
I actually LOVE the Volvo XC90 but it’s a MUCH more expensive vehicle.
True, the Volvo XC90 is considerably more expensive.
apples to oranges I know, but let me ask you atlas or RDX?
You’re right. It is totally apples and oranges! Let’s put aside price and seating requirements. If you told me to pick between those vehicles right now, I’d have to go with the Acura RDX. It’s like a sports car trapped in an SUV!
Good Question
Atlas my friend. I was a HUGE Acura fan then I saw VW and it changed my mind. If you like heavy tech go for RDX. If you love Luxury without the high cost go for the Atlas. It is truly beautiful. More attractive than Porchse, Bentley, BMW, and Audi. VW as the father company goes all out for less.
@@Allthingsfadra It is badass
gotta love the Germans they definitely know how to build cars
4 cylinder turbo??? HA HA HA HA HA. Wait until that small engine starts getting problems. GDI and Turbo!!! All that extra strain, plus over working pulling that heavy weight. When it fucks up, your repairs will be A LOT MORE than your gas savings. GET THE VR6. No turbos, no GDI with their carbon build ups. I get around 27-28 MPG on the highway with the 6. 25 mpg with the 4. Who cares.
Point the camera down
To bad it's not reliable!
Someone creeping up at 4:40
Marry me!!!! 😍. So gorgeous AND funny!
Ooh, haven’t had a marriage proposal in a while. Can I think about it? 😘
Absolutely unreliable suv. Picked up Atlast last week ,yesterday almost crashed, because power steering become disabled, and all the warning lights came off. Dropped it at the service and they say it was defect or something else. Had to fight with them to get a loaner. Very disappointed, how I’ll drive t for the next 3 years((((( and another bad is tank only 15 gallons, seriously?
I’m so sorry you had a bad experience! It sounds like you definitely have a defective vehicle on your hands. I did not have any issues with reliability. Hope the service department will take care of you!
Wow, I am sorry you had this experience. We bought a lifted 2019 Atlas SE with 4-motion, technology and R-Line last month and we are loving it. I have had people come up to me in parking lots and ask about the car because it's so impressive looking. I am 5'3" and the seat raises up and down and forward, so no problems driving. It is averaging 18mpg, but we had a 2005 Pacifica that only got 19 average for a smaller car. A Suburban we owned never got above 17 mpg, even going downhill with a tailwind and it was not a 4WD. ;) The only thing I would change is to have a larger gas tank. It is 18.6 and should be at least 25 gallons. The good part about having to fill up every 300 miles or so is you should take a break during long drives anyway! Another little perk I like: there are 4 velcro-bottomed plastic "corners" you can set around a bag or box or whatever you don't want to slide around in the cargo area.
Oh, and I use the on position for the stop/start function due to all the road construction and tree-falling being done in our area; we might be stopped by a flagger for 5-10 minutes every few miles.
WWG1WGA 😉💖
to close to the camera. Back up. I dont want to be 3-4 inches from your face!
FGOverland Just for that comment, I’m going to film my next review strictly as an extreme close up.
Fadra Nally seriously the review was pretty good. There was one part near the hood or the trunk where you were just a bit to close :)
I’ll accept your constructive criticism 😁
Ugliest interior!!Nothing like a 2019 car inside!
I didn’t mind the interior from a style perspective. I’ve seen much worse and in much more expensive cars!
The interior doesn’t have anything that’s will look dated in a few years.
You have to drive the car an give a believable commentary if many people are going to follow you. And how do you know you'd go for the 4cyl if you haven't even driven it. You haven't touched the big items. A C- review.
Of course I’ve driven the car! I have each car for 7 days before I review. As far as the 4 cylinder turbo, I’d like the opportunity for that engine in a higher trim level but it’s only available in the entry level trim. My point is a choice in engine would be nice for the consumer, especially those that are concerned about fuel economy.
@@Allthingsfadra The car was stationary for the entire review. No commentary while driving the car. All you said is that you want good gas mileage. Seems you could have driven a 4 cyl to know more about it. What about NVH in general and under throttle on the 4cyl? How does the turbo handle the weight of the Atlas? What about driving dynamics? 20" wheels aren't necessarily better. Some have said the 18's ride better and the 20's are noticeably harsher. Did you drive both?
@@stephenjones62 Dude, you seem really offended by this video. If you've watched any of my videos, I don't typically drive the car while I'm doing my video. You can't SEE how well it drives but I can talk about the drive so unless I'm showing a specific drive feature, I don't film while I'm driving since I'm typically a one woman crew.
As for the V6, once again, I said I'd like to see the 4cylinder turbo offered on more trims as an option. As for 20" wheels, I prefer big wheels - it's kind of my recurring thing. I like the look of them. My subscribers know my review style, which is clearly not for you. The great thing about TH-cam is the choice we have in the videos we watch. Thanks for your comments!
@@Allthingsfadra Sounds like the Ricardo Montalban school of reviews. Better to look good than be good. Or style over substance, or as we say in Texas, all hat and no cattle. All the best!
