Mine is 3 years old, averages 6.8litres per hundred in mixed driving conditions and has generally been reliable. Only snag is the DSG is jerky at low speeds and those hard dash plastics are starting to creak and rattle especially on rough roads. Vw should also retire the stop/start system which has the worst calibration of its ilk...
Mine is around 4 months old and the interior is already starting to creak and rattle. Not sure if it’s a big enough issue to take to the dealer, but it is annoying at times..
@@darylarellano1871 Hi Darryl. Where about on the dash were you experiencing the most rattles? Mine was on the left where the A-pillar and dash meet. It started a few months into ownership. Surprisingly, it went away a year later after the car was parked outside for while on a hot summer day 😅. Only the centre console and instrument cluster tend to creak more often now...
@@Historymaker881 Hi, I don’t have the left A pillar issue, but to get into detail the instrument cluster where it meets with the steering wheel rack (not sure what it’s called) rattles when I go over harsh surfaces. Same is said for the centre console, it has some sort of quiet metallic noise that I can’t seem to fix. On top of those, both the front doors creak when I go over uneven roads or unpaved roads. My T-Cross has the Beats sound system and when it’s up high the bass rattles the doors! Its kind of disappointing as I’ve spent 44k on it but the driving dynamics and design is just superb.
@@Historymaker881 I also have the same issue with the DSG and I absolutely HATE the start stop system VW has. That half second delay is dangerous especially when pulling out onto a busy intersection. I’ve gotten used to turning it off as soon as I start the engine. 😆
@@darylarellano1871 sorry to hear about your rattles. I have the exact same but I got used to them. However, in Summer most of them disappear and in Winter I drive with the volume up on harsh roads 😆 . You absolutely right about the DSG and it makes getting gaps in peak traffic a nightmare at times... Regarding the rattles, if it's dashboard related rather leave it as opening and closing the dash can make the problem worse and depending on your dealer's experience in the matter, you might also be left with extra scratches and nicks on the plastics. Guess we just have to live with it unfortunately. Nonetheless it's a great car and it does its duty well 👍
Buy the LIFE edition and buy all packages with it. You are much cheaper. There is also no difference in the 95 or 115HP. And go for the 16 inch wheels to save fuel.
I had this car as a loan car from VW Australia twice. But got to tell that I would not even entertain on ever owning one. First off there is this ever so often annoying loud enough whining from the transmission. It is worst than on my Golf R! Who wants to listen to that and wondering in what might be wrong with this car? Then there is the cheap feel and look interior. Two turning knobs on the entertainment screen takes it back looking dated. It looks rather basic inside. Driving it is a normal average. All reasons for me in sharing this. In contrast the Ford Puma I owned for two years was way ahead of it in every aspect. Compfort, style, ease of drive, economy and plenty of tech stuff not found in the T Cross, yet they are similarly priced. If I did not end up having bought a Golf R, I still be driving the Ford Puma. In contrast
Your review on the VW T - Cross was excellent i purchased my car 2019 WHICH IS THE STANDARD COMFORTLINE DSG ( Direct shift gear box or as you say dual clutch value for your money for a small SUV WAS WORTHWHILE for your money in comparison to other make of cars in its segment the small SUV family is comfortable four a family of four the midsize TiQUAN OR BIGGER TOUREG WOULD SUITE a bigger family of six very happy with 😊mine!!!!
@@StarGyrl ...lol she's 100% Australian, the number plates are Australian, the houses she's driving past are Australian-style, and she talks about the car "arriving in Australia".....based on your answer, I am taking it you aren't in NZ (or Australia..:-))
Hired one of these . Car is nice to sit in but the ride is harsh in the back and the road noise is not good on certain roads . The electric power steering has a strange feeling at speed and hestitates when switching lanes on a motorway … it fights when you try to change lanes . I wouldn’t buy one
im sorry nothing personal but this is review is a bit like a toddler describing his new lego set. Nice colours ,nice big blocks and small one and medium ones ,it has a box and price tag attached to the box :)
I don't own this car, but was compelled to leave a review after driving one for a weekend. Why the hell anyone would buy this car I have no idea? A serious lag when you put your foot down, unresponsive lacklustre power, crap instrumentation, uncomfortable seat and crap buggy electronics. Seriously if you buy this car you need your head read.
Are you here to see what the reviewer is wearing?! Sorry buddy you're better off on some other site for that, in case you missed the title of the video...
I've owned this car for over a year now and I haven't had 1 single issue. I use it to commute to work every day and not only does it have 0 problems but is very cheap to run as well.
I got mine in Feb '21 in energetic orange and get 6.4L /100km. It's a great suburban vehicle and I have had zero issues and no regrets.
Do u have a drive mode. I use the normal mode and drive 5.4L/100km.

It's a pity that this review seems more about the R-Line package for the wealthy and not simply about the T-Cross. Can most families afford an R-Line?

It is very confortable for tall drivers you have a lot of above you head. Very spacious.
Perfect review 👌 thanks
I love the car... I hope I will buy it in next year or sooner

Got the Life with the driver assist package. Very happy with it!👍

Beautiful location where have you shot this video?
Based on the accent, I would say she is a Kiwi and in New Zealand.

@@douglasharre7156 Nope, I'm not! Thanks for your response.
What is the difference between a t cross and a t roc
T-Roc is a bigger product. It also uses the more powerful 110TSI. It’s based off the Golf, while the T-Cross is from the Polo

Bring back Nedahl!
Amen! But she left for good!
She got arrested
No hybridation in an expensive car mainly thought for urban use seems nowadays a big mistake.
1250kg, 1 litre engine and at this price point it's a fantastic buy. Hybrid would add 200+kg and $10-15k to the price.
@@mattsteele6367 On such quality, both Seat Arona and Skoda Kamiq were already there. Orlando Blume has a lot of work to mend.
And now you can get rubber duck yellow, yes, rubber duck yellow lol.

Seems like it's based on VW Taigun/Skoda Kushaq.
It's the same car as taigun just minor changes. They have written taigun/tcross on the manual.

Oh dear. This reviewer is no better than reading a sales brochure or listening to a salesman. Only made it 5 mins in before I had to turn it off
It’s a Pile of Rubbish….going to swap mine for a bus pass 🤣🤣🤣
Such a weird looking pant the reviewer is wearing
Are you here to see what the reviewer is wearing?! Sorry buddy you're better off on some other site for that, in case you missed the title of the video...
Are you the fashion police? Do you have a RUclips channel for that? and oh, BTW, you are on the wrong channel is you're looking for jeans buddy.
Worst suv on the market !!!
Be careful ! It has a lot if issues !!!!
I've owned this car for over a year now and I haven't had 1 single issue. I use it to commute to work every day and not only does it have 0 problems but is very cheap to run as well.
I've owned mine since Feb '21 and had zero issues.
No issues and have had it for a few months now.
Zero issues and the car drives great. Best car i ever had.
You got a lemon 😂
Doesnt the T-Cross come with Parking Assist?
optional. mine has it but is not really a must have.
👍👍👍kross
