Its a VW, 7 year warranty or not....maintenance is frequent and costly, after market parts support is pitiful, and longevity is crap. I would look at Honda or Toyota first.

LOL
I know the head guy at one of the largest Porsche dealers in North America....he said and I quote “I wouldn’t buy one, hell i wouldn’t even ride in one if I were you.”
lol,,,
The Explorer is the other one that she really likes. We test drove a few of those too. I personally prefer the Explorer over the Atlas but the Atlas has more room, more available options and cost less.
That is one of the things that has me worried about buying it. The upkeep and overall maintenance cost.
I have a 2015 Ford Edge SEL and I like it a lot. Quiet, handles well and I have the 3.5 V6. In the city I get 22mpg. and uses Reg Gas.
I never understood the “value “ of new vehicles. Depreciation sucks.
I would look at a used Toyota or Honda first.
I’ve never paid over $10k max for a Honda or Toyota, and $10k being with 85-100k miles in the clock. I run them to 200,000 or more and still get around half what I paid for it when I sell it.
Then I start the cycle over. Maintenance such as brakes and oil changes/wear and tear items is all I’ve ever needed.

I like to be the 1st to fart in my trucks..... although I may not always be the 1st, I’m much more likely to be with .3 miles then 75k LOL
