Note that you reviewed an SEL Premium R line. The premium gives you the Fender audio and ventilated seats, among other things. Top trim. The bolstering isn't awesome in those front seats, but it's a huge family hauler. The bolstering is fine for what it is. If you don't look at this as a sports car or off roader, and see it as a comfortable family hauler, it's a great vehicle -happy owner of a 2019 SEL-P Atlas

They put the V6 badge versus a VR badge because it's easier to market to the people that walk into a VW dealer. Also the motor sits so low because it's actually a car chassis underneath that is also shared with on the smaller cars like the Jetta, Passat, GTI and Golf etc. So it's not really an SUV anyway more of a CUV.

I think the reason it doesn't say R on the back is because, like you said, it's not a real R. It's an "R Line." That's a real common thing in Europe. You get the sporty look, but not the same performance. Here in the US, Ford offered a Fiesta "ST Line" in the last year of production ('19). It was a base Fiesta with ST body trim. It looked great, and it came in some cool colors the real ST didn't get. It's just not an ST. I think they had a lot of ST body panels left over, so they tried to use them up. As great a car as the Fiesta ST is, they didn't sell a lot of them in the Americas, which is a shame. Americans don't drive sticks much, anymore.

Standard sizes would make life SO much easier. And would make tires a LOT cheaper and easier to find. My 2017 Mustang GT Performance Pack had 19" wheels... What a weird size rim!
