When i take a 1999 mégane (compact) with 65cv im happy, short for parking, faster in curves and a lot of sensations changing gears and accelerating. Passat its only good to go 130kmh, but not even close to a compact with 300kg less in that situation.

    I don't get the idea of low profile tires on an SUV. Hit one pothole and the rim is bent.... I speak from experience. The whole point of an SUV is that it should be able to handle rough surfaces etc better, even if it's a soft roader

    Until VW offers their high end vehicles in a manual version, i am staying away. I had an Audi A3 1.8T with 7 speed DSG that broke at 87000km (out of warranty in years)...R10 grand later to fix the mechatronic unit and i sold it within a month (What happens is the oil pressure accumulator (that store oil under pressure to activate the clutch) develops a crack and then the pressure pump in the gearbox runs continuously without switching off /off as need be and you get a fault light the burns continuously on your dash...although in my case the gearbox still worked normally)). The place in Pretoria which fixed the gearbox and explained the problem to me had VW vehicles there ranging from the Polo all the way to the Audi Q7`s, all with same or similar DSG gearbox issues. People all over the world trying to get VW/Audi to admit the DSG gearbox problems (Although it is an awesome gearbox while it works), but i will never buy any VW or Audi product if it has a DSG gearbox in it ever again!

    There is no need for a background sound,you end up not hearing the amazing sound of a car and I wish you could go deep in the practicality of the car. Talk about boot space,talk about the inside space talk about fitting the children's seat (Is it easy or not),talk about the elephant in the room and talk about some other new or added things. I am not saying those things that are based in this video but other previous videos I watched. It is not good to find that you take maybe 13 minutes doing the video but you only touch just few things. I don't mean anything bad but it is my advice as a viewer. Nice car.

    Because those are the features that you're paying for in the T-roc you got here, so a Tiguan could lose that.

      It would have been R800k+ and no one was going to buy it since the Tigua R is coming soon and it will be around that price who in their right mind would buy the t-roc then.

    OK, so the boot space for the T-Roc is given as 445 L for the 2WD model and 392 L for the 4Motion models (seats folded down 1290 L and 1237L). For the T-Cross boot capacity is specified at 377 L (seats folded flat value not given in the brochure) across the model range as there are no 4Motion models. Did you do actual measurements which resulted in different boot capacities?
    Thanks for the objective review otherwise.

    • @CiroDeSiena
      @CiroDeSiena 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there, I think the confusion comes in because the T-Cross has a sliding rear bench, and a false boot floor which all affect the volume. Having experience of both cars though, it looks to me like the 4Motion T-Roc has a smaller boot.
