    This actually looks good in lower spec match trim. Like the chunky styling but it is looking abit tired inside

    Not sure why but every time I come across a T cross on the road, it’s been driven aggressively. Same with majority of Nissan Jukes

      Near where I am, T-cross drivers are old people.

      ​@@aye3678yeah that’s what I see too. Always driven very sedately by oldies.

    TSI 150 DSG is one of the best combo small 4 cylinders petrol engine and automated gear box, sharing the first place with the TCE 160 EDC 7 available on Renault Captur.

      Which is probably far more reliable than the VW.

      I like the 1.4T Suzuki boosterjet.

      Got the 1.5 with DSG in my Tiguan. Low rev power when pulling away is almost dangerous at fast junctions and roundabouts. Have to be conscious of this weakness when driving.

      @@jaybal600put it in sport mode. These days “D” is eco mode and “E” is almost unusable. Sport gives you all the power available and doesn’t gimp the throttle curve.

    Glad they still offer the stick

    Ok, so tcross initial purchase is value for money, but what about servicing and parts and general running costs. Vw still one of the highest priced parts around.

      TBH VAG cars are not terrible value for maintenance… plenty of good quality aftermarket parts, also most garages know how to work on them

    SMALLEST….. Starting at £24,000 but actually £30,000 for the 1.5ltr that you are looking at…!! Does no-one see how mental these prices are…. A “jacked up” VW Polo for £30k! No wonder people are keeping their old cars for longer and NOT BUYING NEW CARS….

      It’s good that people are keeping old cars to be honest. Why change cars unless yours is starting to have serious issues?

      There are absurd amount of perfectly workable cars that are sat in dealerships. We talk about environmentalism, but changing cars so often means more manufacturing, which means :

      1) much higher prices
      2) the environment suffers

      Of course if you’re wealthy, throw your money around how you like. Not many people are wealthy enough to really make a dent by buying a few cars.

      I’m keeping my hybrid Lexus IS until it dies. It will probably outlive me though

      but you can’t get the Polo with more than 94bhp in the UK. You have to pay a lot more for an Audi A1 if you want a VW or Audi supermini with over 100bhp

    well its really cool but theres a problem the car inside is kinda soft and the seat is so flat and its kinda electric like tesla and well the engine kinda heated up and it need a cooler down so the tire suspension is kinda a bit problem its really refrencing from the cyber trucls suspension if that has been tried then how much is it?

    Super review. I’m a bit annoyed that the 1.5 litre isn’t available in Australia as that size car with a zippy engine would be a hoot.

    Considering a Cupra Formentor starts from around 30k for base spec with the 1.5 TSI and a base spec Formentor already has a lot of kit on it, it just makes the T Cross, Taigo and T Rog look like bad value for money

      Formentor is lush inside as well. Mate just bought one.

    So many errors! The R-Line doesn’t have the front lower cornering lights unless you upgrade to the IQ Light LED Matrix Headlights.. Also, the 114hp engine is a DSG automatic, not a manual. And the yellow is actually called Rubber Ducky Yellow. But a nice car all the same!

    The Nissan Juke is better compared to the T cross. More discounts available. Comes with a Lower Starting price and has a decent interior as well.

    Does it have a spare wheel (essential until our roads are fixed) ?

    I bought the T cross style, I believe it’s the only one that comes with iq matix lights with bars front and back plus iq drive assist. I think iq matrix light are extra on other models at around £1000
