  • ( www.alltfl.com/) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! When we run a three-row family crossover like the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas on the TFL Slip test, it can sometimes be a coin flip on how it's going to perform. This time around, though, the Atlas proved a capable option if you're looking for an all-weather family hauler -- here's what happened!

    Well...if you don't get the R-line you won't be paying nearly that much. You get nearly all of the same features in the lower trims as well. VW does a great job in base load for trims. My wife and I love our 2019 Atlas and we're driving around a 2024 SE with tech and it's awesome.

    Hey Tommy, you should rank individual AWD & 4WD vehicles on their respective performance on your slip test. This would inform consumers of traction performance, which is important for those of us living in locations where inclement weather can present a problem. Think of like what Top Gear would do with lap times around their track.

    My neighbor, a senior citizen had a Passat. It was in immaculate, pristine condition. Transmission failed just under 100k miles.
    VW / Audi is a brand that you should only lease.

      If it’s Passat venting time I bought one in late 2018, I got rid of it at just 32k miles in late 2023
      In five years:
      Engine carbon buildup to the point the car would start violently shaking when driving, throwing EPC and check engine lights and going into limp mode each time. Dealer replaced fuel injector wiring harness and cleaned the engine after fighting for way too long
      Slipping transmission
      Throttle control issue of some kind, car wouldn’t move from a red light but if you took your foot all the way off the throttle and back on it would act like nothing happened. 2 dealers couldn’t recreate but it did this all the time
      Dead power seat
      Dead sunroof, also leaked briefly
      Fuel door stuck locked
      Rear taillight filled with water every time it rained
      Could not get anybody to lemon law it even with a lawyer, sold to Carvana and I’m sorry to whoever has it now. It’s a shame because I liked it a lot when it worked

I used to love watching these guys when their videos had style and entertainment but the last year, taken a horrible turn for the worst and ended up unsubscribing. They need to go back to their roots of fun , different entertaining content. They are no better than any of the other 10000 review channels out there.

      Just did a roadtrip to Destin,FL from New Braunfels,TX… I have this exact 2024 model & the drive was super smooth. The highway passing with the new 2.0T is very impressive. The kids travelled in comfort and we had plenty of space for cargo. I have 8,000 miles currently and did my own 1st oil change at 5000mi. This vehicle gets so much un-warranted hate for some reason.
