The awkward face you pull at the price of the T-Roc

- Look, don't get me wrong, I adore the Volkswagen T-Roc. It's the price I don't love. Or can't afford. I get it, cars are expensive these days, we have to get used to it. But I am not sure I will ever get used to a small compact car costing as much as this T-Roc does, with options. Crikey, am I getting too old for this job or what? My greatest advice here is to steer clear of the T-Roc because if you get into one, you will not get out of it and you will be selling your nearest and dearest to buy it. And I would take this over a Golf GTI, so that should tell you just how good it is.

This why the Chinese Manufacturers are taking over! VW, Merc, BMW, Toyota are slowly losing SA Consumers due to affordablity.
There is no way VW has got away with selling a base model car without a reverse camera for R660k?!
How did I only find this channel now?? I love your way of reviewing the cars, so much better than some journalists rambling off stats they memorized. SUBSCRIBED!
She is the best bro
I hate how much i love this car.
Average South Africans are on a daily basis moving to more affordable options. These vehicles will always have their market, but they are moving more into the "upper class" where they start selling less vehicles so need to up the price to make more profit per vehicle. Good luck to them!
Wow, that crashy ride sound😮
That's the plastic child seat making the noise to be fair... and I don't like being fair to VW
Just to note that you did a review on ignition a year ago on the t roc pre face lift. I understand the pricing concern ,however this car is attracting a golf gti owner as a next car ,that does not want a full size SUV ,and we know what the pricing of the 8 gti is.The 2.0 4 motion just puts it in a class above in my opinion and feels as fast as the 7.5 gti,all wheel drive making up for the power deficit.It’s a really good car.If you willing to get the lower powered version this will then price in the other SUV segments mentioned in the chat.I recently purchased one same as the one you reviewed in red ,and traded in my golf 7.5 gti.
As expensive as these things are, they are everywhere in Namibia.
Not really.
760k?? I'd love a comparison between this and the top spec 570k tiggo 8 Pro...
Great Car suv and i love vw since then... Ur so Cute juliet such s jolly british accent u are ilove the way you are trully u make me laugh u make me happy... Keep it up & more power
I test drove a T-Roc a couple of years ago, had it on a 48h loan, the ONLY thing I can remember about the time I spent with the car was how painfully slow the wipers operated... Not the interval or anything but the actual wiping motion was really slow. Took it back to the dealership, looked at another vehicle to see if it was just an issue with the one I drove, no the others were the same too. So strange.
Stevie Nicks song choices are perfect for your voice 😊
Love these reviews from South Africa! kM/L (what???), right sided steering wheel, cars not available in the US (or, if available, not even considered, like any VW). Keep up the good work!
The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogsheads, and that’s the way I likes it!
The price is ridiculous... better options, like you mentioned bmw x1, CX40, could also get the Sportage with better specs , bigger and more reliable... Could go the China way with Tiggo 8 (If you're brave enough)... It's going to be interesting to see how loyal SA's will continue to be to VW, they could be pricing themselves out of the market
To be honest with you my dear Julie, I'd go for a 2017/18 Mercedes Benz GLE 350d for R670 000 with 80k odd killos and be happy.
Nice one, Juliet. Yeah the price point is vomitacious unfortunately. I currently have the Haval H6 HEV on test and fro R670k with every box checked... I just don't want to give it back.
Hope you spot my review. would appreciate your feedback
Cheap and Chinese??😵💫 not now and not soon😱
I just had the Design model on test and I simply could not find 1 reason why you would actually buy it over the T-Cross 1.5L
I love this car each and every inch of it especially when you consider the poor design of the updated RAV4 buy with my eyes closed if only I had the money😢
Great review but do you ever drive with 2 hands ,
R660K for a polo! VW lost the plot
it's a cross over golf really but expensive I agree I went for Ford Puma STX
As far as test drives are concerned - see if you can find a dealer willing to have you drive the car for a good long test drive, too really feel how the car behaves. We were at 2 dealers and both of them had strict 5km or 10km routes. No thanks then…
It has a 2.0T engine and 4motion(4x4) and it is an R line. It’s actually not bad compared to Golf Gti and Tiguan 800k. BMWs and Audis with the same specs cost way more than 800k
This is car is actually reasonable because it compares with Q2 and X2
Great review ✨!
Just WAY WAY WAY TOO EXPENSIVE !
MAJOR BORING look too 👎
There is SO MUCH BETTER VALUE elsewhere with MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER design & finish as well.
This makes ZERO sense at all - just how it is 🙄
Geez 9.3 litres per 100 km is a lot. I'm already complaining about 8.9 on my CX-5, which is bigger than T-Roc.
We used to be great VW fans up to about 5 years ago when they started thinking they are a premium brand. Not just price but also in demeanor - No way this car is worth that amount of money - there are so many other cars with better value for the price. But hey - if you want to spend R600k - 700k on this car - go for it. R12k or such per month on finance, hey! Have fun!
The pricing model of German cars doesn’t make sense. You can pick up a Haval GT at R630k and it’s bigger than the T Roc.
There is a T-Roc R for Europe and some other markets, making 221kW and 400Nm.
Shame you don’t get it in SA.
who would buy a T-roc for R1mil?
@@shasha023 If the T-Roc R were to land in SA, it’s unlikely to cost 1 million rand.
It would likely be cheaper than the Tiguan R which starts from a little under 1 million rand.
The T-Roc R is also slightly cheaper than the Golf R (at least in the UK).
@@DaveDVideoMaker after calculating the price difference then the T-roc R would come in at R880 000, that is a lot of money, that type of money gets you a Q3 s-line or X1 m-sport, not a VW filled with plastic
@@shasha023 But the Q3 and X1 are quite different from the T-Roc R.
@@DaveDVideoMaker yes, they are a bit slower but they are far FAR far better cars and are more advanced and they dont have cheap plastic everywhere, they are quality products while the T-roc is a cheap car filled with plastic everywhere you touch.
The Kona N is something similar to the Troc, but the Kona is
- its faster,
- has better tech,
- looks better,
- Would be R120k cheaper even
Hi Juliet. Have you considered reviewing the new Proton X50? I would love to get your opinion on that car.
I have just had the X70, the video will be up in 2 weeks. But now I wait for the X50. Hold thumbs
Who hired you at ignition?
at that price point, i will go for a Volvo XC40
She's comparing a 394L boot in the T-roc that she can't afford, but compares it to a Tiguan's 550L- odd boot..............which she absolutely can't afford lol. A blonde's common sense
I’m sure she’ll get a sugar daddy to pay for her toys.
Rather a kia sportage.
As a family car get a vw golf variant or VW touran.
Not a lifestyle SUV
I agree it is expensive, but like with everything today U have to shop around. Did buy R line T Rock brand new with Sun Roof, Reverse Camera, Tailer Hitch and wireless charching for 688 k ... that is 80 k less than what U mentioned ...
The ride is deffintely not hard and crashy but sporty ...
So no ... liked Your review but Your facts are not correct.
So it all came down to affordability and it not suiting your needs. If it was half the price it would still have been impractical. Great car and the Aussie varient is way better value as an R Line. The rest of the world are getting screwed because smucks pay for extras like a camera. AU mandates that on all cars so no issues for us. Perfect small family car and the wife loves her 2023 R Line.
Apart from no leg room it looks very unimpressive parked next to a proper SUV.
More Fleetwood Mac please
That crashy ride quality that your hearing is the reason why you can't call a VW a premium car, coming from someone that used to own a golf 7.5 R, also, you must be out of your mind to trade a 7.5 gti for this. I wonder if the facelift still retains that low resolution cockpit display, I remember the one in my golf r was much better, she's right, at that price your in bmw territory and that's a much more premium proposition. Go and drive any bmw produced in the last 5 years. 🙂
You think the purchase price is expensive? Wait until the warranty runs out and VW's perfected programmed obsolescence kicks in and you'll know what expensive really is.
VW is mad. I'll stick with mazda.a lot of standard things on the cx30 and the service and warranty plan is 3 YEARS UNLIMITED KM. VW is ripping us off and with their cars problems they develop within 10 000km,no thank you
Put a 100k more and buy a gti. Weird pricing...
Beautiful car indeed but the price NO
VW is way overrated and overpriced. Point blank.
Add 100k and you’ve got a BMW x1.
Stupid money.
This is just too much … which means you end up paying almost R 760 000.. doesn’t make sense … rather go for the bmw or Mercedes at this price …
Fake exhaust looks pathetic
if you love this piece of crap you got no idea woman
Stop the video, i need too get off
Ugly car this and overpriced.
at that price point, i will go for a Volvo XC40
