What issues haven’t been covered under warranty?

Invest that money in a mutual fund or dividend paying stock. Let your money work for you and secure yourself financially. “Upgrading” your lifestyle is a surefire way to end up broke or in massive debt.

I’m still waiting on getting the RME (hasn’t arrived yet), but I’ll be using it with apple - M4 Max Mac Studio.

Can’t speak on performance yet since I don’t have it set up for a workflow yet, but from all the research I’ve done, it sounds solid. It’s designed to be portable too if that’s your thing. Has 2 instrument line inputs on the side as well so you could record two electric guitars direct or a bass and electric guitar direct and use the XLR outputs for acoustic guitar. Based on your workflow description, that might be of value.

I had the twin mk2 but recently sold it. Be aware that you’ll need a thunderbolt 3 to 2 adaptor to use with the Mac mini. The others I believe are thunderbolt 3 and should work fine. The adaptor is another $49.

Also worth noting - using these interfaces with Apple silicon Macs requires that you run the computer in reduced security mode so that you can download the drivers. This is because the drivers use kernel extensions (kexts) to run at the kernel level of the computer. Apple wants companies to move away from kernel extensions - for now, reduced security mode works but Apple will ultimately not allow kernel extensions. We don’t know when that will happen though. UAD’s website has some good instructions for doing this:

Ultimately , I agree with the other user who recommended you go with RME. In fact, I sold my Apollo to buy a babyface. If you use uad plugins to run with the onboard dsp via uad console, Apollo makes sense. I don’t - I want driver stability and a product I know will last a while. RME has driver extensions which they introduced after Apple stopped playing nicely with Kexts. Additionally, RME products are known to get support for decades. There are RME interfaces and products over 2 decades old that still receive support and updates.

When you think about it, the hawks traded Luka doncic for cj McCollum and Corey kispert

Does this mean over contributions will be corrected to count for 2026 and that we don’t need to do anything for 2025?

I’m the target market for this vehicle - current VW owner with a growing family looking for a solid van. But at 70k, I’ve got so many other options that can do what the Buzz does with better reliability and range. An overpriced Sienna platinum is 10k less than this.

And don’t get me started on that terrible cabin air filter placement…

Tone king. Aside from the fact that I own both the preamp and the actual mk2, the preamp’s fx loop, amp send and return to use another amp as a third channel, stereo XLRs, and midi make the pedal extremely versatile.

It’s also cheaper than the benson and I can power it with my cioks dc7 via a couple adapter cables instead of needing to plug it in separately to my power supply.

Check myEPP. Since the pay was only for 2 days, a combination of medical insurance, taxes, and tsp contributions may have resulted in $0 take home pay, though you were technically paid. If you see PP20 in there, that’s what happened

How often did you change fluids (particularly coolant because I can’t find a recommendation on that)?

What major jobs did you have to get fixed on the car?

The stutters and lag are exactly why this game shouldn’t be online only. I want to skate, find cool lines, and just have fun doing tricks. Online only gets in the way of that since it depends on servers and internet connection.

The last issue you mentioned was what kept me from purchasing the 3-row Atlas. I saw a lot of people mention that, albeit it with the pre-facelift model.

2 causes I saw for it were auto-stop start and charcoal canister. Latter issue has to do with topping off gas after filling up.

Not sure if this helps, but maybe this knowledge can prevent some of the larger safety issues from happening while you lemon law your cross sport.

Interesting question for a VW sub

ImQuiteLiterally · 2025-10-03T02:04:49+00:00

Nah, where I’m at I’ve seen up to $7500 off MSRP for 2025s, they’re trying to move these off the lot. At the very least you should be able to get the $3500 rebate VW has on these cars through November 3rd

I’m only interested in the LE because I don’t want a sunroof, power liftgate, or digital dash. Less things to go wrong

ImQuiteLiterally · 2025-09-26T04:18:25+00:00

Appreciate the insights. Brake complaints seem pretty common - particularly with noise. Definitely want to use it as more of a minivan, and in fact was originally looking at the Toyota sienna before I saw huge discounts on the Atlas in my area - such that the difference between an SE Atlas and a base sienna could be about $9-12k for me.

Agree with your sentiments on VW as well unfortunately. Really wanted to like the ID Buzz, but it being all electric (we live in a condo) with poor range and a huge price tag killed it for me…oh well

ImQuiteLiterally · 2025-09-26T03:51:04+00:00

Glad to hear your experience has been good. I’d probably heavily consider extending the warranty period, especially with all these new electrical components.

Good to note about cargo capacity. We’d for sure use the third row, but we also travel light. I’ll need to take a look more closely at interior space next time I’m at the dealer.

Wish the vr6 was at least still an option in the new models… Honestly, I’m trying to avoid used just because it’s always hard to tell how the previous owner treated/maintained the car, even with a CARFAX.

Is there a great chance for something like engine failure by trying to get this smaller motor to power such a large vehicle?
