Hi all,
I'm 24 hours into owning a spanky new 2018 VW Atlas SEL 2WD (Platinum Grey Metallic/Titan Black). I am so pumped!:grin2:
I own/operate a video production company, and I needed a vehicle that could perform well as an equipment transport as well as a crew/client transport. I also have a family of four, so long trips with camping supply and (eventually) pulling a travel trailer will hopefully be in our future...
The huge payload capacity of the Atlas with all seats down really caught me, and the Euro styling/muscle combo exterior kept me interested in this SUV since it was announced. I went with the SEL trim because I love the panoramic sunroof and the 5000 lb towing capacity was important. I think the sweet spot price-wise is an SE or SE with Tech, but stock is so limited in the Bay Area and I was impatient! My local dealer sold three the three Atlases he had in 10 days or so, and I bought the last one on the last day of the month, which I think gave me a little extra room negotiating. In general I am getting the feeling that people are gobbling these things up, as stock seems to continue to be thin.
So far I'm thrilled with the purchase. It's a perfect mix of luxury, quality, utility and power.
