    You're right. Crossovers are really minivans for people that don't want to be seen in a minivan.

  • @DRSpalding
    @DRSpalding 4 роки тому +4

    On our Touareg TDI, you have to pull the shifter back to engage "S" (sport) mode. Moving it to the manual shift side will automatically shift when the engine hits the rev limiter I think. The dash indicator should change to "S" from "D" when you do it. There is a significant difference between "D" and "S" even when you leave it in auto mode.

    Great review, Sarah! I completely agree, this SUV doesn’t stand out in the crowd & to add to that, VW dealerships are only located in larger populated areas. So if you live 100 miles from the nearest dealer, service is suddenly a huge issue. Been there & done that with a GTI.

    I think moving the gearshift to the right just changes from auto to manual sequential. To go into sport program you need either select the sport drive mode (if the car has a modes selector) or push the lever to the rear. It is springloaded and will return, but having changed to Sport. The gear indicator would change to S1, S2.... meaning sport. It is so for my Passat at least.

    11:00 is exactly why we have a FWD CX5. We have no need for the expense and maintenance of a car with an AWD system. We both hate minivans, and It has tons of room for our one child family. I like wagons but wife hates them, so this is what we have. Plus it was a great deal when we bought it when it was 2 years old.

  • @niklaswejedal463
    @niklaswejedal463 Рік тому

    I was amazed by the fact that you found the automatic rear wiper action when you put it in to reverse a surprising feature - I have the same in my 15 year old little Renault, which is just a sensible economy car and not premium or luxury in any way (the way I like it!). Maybe it is a thing more common in EU-market cars, I don't know...

    Yay, my favorite abandoned warehouse Sarah! Come to think of it, I don't actually know any other abandoned warehouse Sarahs... I thought I read somewhere VW is bringing a "truck" of some sort to the US, but I could be mistaken. I am old enough to remember the one from the early '80's that looked like the front half of a Rabbit (Golf) with a little pickup bed welded on the back. I agree with you about the usefulness of a crossover without all-wheel-drive, but then I live in New England where it snows. Now if they only made this thing with the VR6, a 6-speed stick and 4-motion... it would be two times too expensive for me. Oh well.

  • @stephenhendricks103

    The mainstream midsize SUV/CUV category is huge. Most brands offer two vehicles in the category: a group of smaller mostly 2 row vehicles ranging from 189" to 192" in length and a group of larger 3 row vehicles from 195" to 204" long. The groups apply to nearly all vehicles in the overall category but there are a couple of exceptions. The 189" long KIA Sorento provides three rows of seats and the VW Atlas Cross Sport is by far the largest of the two row group at 195.5" in length.
    If there's one lesson VW has learned about North American consumers it's that they like their VW's BIGGER (and usually less expensive) than European (and most other international) buyers. The Atlas replaced the smaller and more expensive Touareg in the US while a new generation Touareg is offered in Europe. The American Passat is considerably larger and cheaper than the European version. The current Tiguan in the US replaced the first generation smaller and pricier version. In fact, at 185" long it (along with the Nissan Rogue) is the largest "compact" crossover sold in the US. The smaller version is still sold in Europe and the US version of the Tiguan is known as the AllSpace in other markets and usually considered a midsize SUV. The current generation Jetta is larger than the last and isn't even offered in VW's home market in Germany. And when VW decided to offer a two row midsize SUV in the US they made the Atlas Cross Sport larger than any competitor. It's even a smidgen longer than the 195" long Toyota Highlander. And much like it's 3 row Atlas big brother, it's built in Tennessee and almost exclusively offered in North America. With VW's decision to drop the basic Golf in the US, that leaves only the GTI, Golf R, and the Arteon as US vehicles that closely resemble their European counterparts.
    American consumers who prefer the size, handling, and performance of European VW's have been left largely out of picture. As far as VW is concerned, those consumers should be looking at Audi vehicles. That's a shame (imo) but VW, like other mainstream brands, is devoted to making a profit and the sales of vehicles like their SUV's and the Jetta compact sedan are a strong argument for their strategy. Whether it works in the case of the Cross Sport will be evident in the next year, or so.

Darkside Developments just finished building one with a larger turbo for a customer and the thing is a gem. I'd daily an Amarok that does 0-60 in under 5 seconds, has no problem pulling two dirtbikes and gear in a trailer, all while keeping everyone comfortable in a decent sized cab.

    VW isn't likely to have a truck in the US market. It goes back to the 1960's when Germany put a tariff on importing chickens to protect their farmers. The US responded by putting a 25% tariff on light trucks. The chicken tariff eventually went away but the truck tariff remains to this day. The whole thing is referred to as the Chicken Tax.

    I agree. I could use a VW pickup truck. Anything to help me with pickups. 🤓

    Pickups are pointless unless you're a builder or carry very tall things which is why they're a niche market in Europe.

      Actually it's the ever tightening emissions standards that leave no room for heavily taxed giant V8 trucks.

      What about carrying loose material that would ruin the interior of a car or van?

    Volkswagen isn't the only one that killed a bug. Agree about the VR6 with AWD, as long as it has real exhaust tips.
