Look for new family SUV. We've had a Ford Flex the last several years, but 2019

Unless you "need" an SUV for 4WD, get a mini van. Better in most every way (but not tires/alignments)

If you are looking at those sizes just go with a minivan... Coming from

A family member just traded in a Honda Pilot for a minivan.

Toyota, Honda, Chrysler all make good quality minivans now.

Traverse is actually bigger than a Tahoe, but I can't deal with start/stop. I'm

Suburban/Expedition or mini-van. The mid-size SUV won’t cut it.

If you want a roomy SUV, your list should be Tahoe, Expedition, Suburban, Sequoia. If you want smaller than those,

You didn’t even list Yukon XL...

It was under "suburban". ;).

I considered one of the new Traverses

If I was to that point it would be the new Kia Telluride

VW Atlas.

6/6/19 4:15pm

Why do you say that? I've always heard things about VWs

UNLVcougar

6/6/19 4:19pm

Because they are the roomiest SUV on the market without going the Tahoe or Expedition route

kccougar

6/6/19 4:31pm

How about quality and cost of repair issues?

UNLVcougar

6/6/19 4:42pm

6-yr, 70,000 mi bumper-to-bumper factory warranty provides peace of mind

kccougar

6/6/19 4:54pm

And I'd rank VW quality comfortably over Subaru.

kccougar

6/6/19 5:11pm

I'd stay away from German makes if you want long term ownership.

Richbyu

You can't both be right. Can I

How many german cars has richbyu owned?

kccougar

6/6/19 6:39pm

I've owned 35 vehicles...

kccougar

6/6/19 7:09pm

so you had to replace the German ones most often. 😉

4 of those I owned beyond 200k miles (3 BMW and 1 Mini).

kccougar

6/6/19 8:04pm

Sounds like you buy a lot of new cars. I own them for a longer time.

Richbyu

6/7/19 10:05am

5 of 35 were purchased new.

So, we went and test drove the Atlas last night. Really liked

UNLVcougar

Interested for your opinion after you look at both.

kccougar

6/9/19 1:32pm

I would have never considered a Kia in the past..but, there is certainly a lot

UNLVcougar

6/9/19 1:56pm

That is mine. As many features as they put in their vehicles they still feel cheap

kccougar

6/9/19 2:01pm

Just one, but I had a BMW 740iL that I was happy to get rid of. I put maybe 7k

i will disagree with KC on every topic out there, but i would trust him wholeheartedly on cars and lunch spots.

How does the Atlas compare with the new Telluride?

rainorsnow

6/9/19 1:09pm

Almost identical in length and width. Atlas has a little larger storage capacity.

kccougar

6/9/19 1:35pm

Thanks. Would you seriously consider or even get the Telluride over the Atlas

rainorsnow

6/9/19 1:52pm

I love the Atlas so I doubt it.

kccougar

6/9/19 2:02pm

Shifting was something I noticed in our test drive of the VW.

UNLVcougar

6/9/19 1:58pm

And I like the crispness.

kccougar

6/9/19 2:01pm

Any word on when/if they might come out with the Atlas Cross Sport?

UNLVcougar

6/9/19 2:15pm

Dont know. They already have the T-Roc and new Touareg in Europe

kccougar

6/9/19 2:37pm

Kia Telluride.
