I dunno but the fact that you can increase the price of a 22k car by almost 50% with extras really annoys me. It just seems senseless.

@@BobFlavinVideo That's my issue. It's almost like a bait and switch. You can have this brand new VW for 22k but it's gonna be shite unless you spend another 8-10k. It makes sense on an S Class but 10k in extras on an affordable car just kinda sticks in the throat.

Bob quoted average fuel consumption of 6.7 l/100km, whereas the screen said it was 6.9l/100km. Had it changed while he was speaking? I wouldn't expect it to improve whilst parked up. This equates to 34 mpg and Bob thinks this is good for a 1 litre , 2 wheel drive car? This is the same as my 2.2 litre Audi 90 would average, and every Golf GTi I ever owned. I like Bob Flavin, but the lesson here for me is to treat any review with caution. i would expect well into the 40s for a car like this, which I think is an SUV for people who can't afford an SUV

I'm a bit late to find this review. In Australia, a fully loaded 85TSI Polo is AUD $31K, whereas the equivalent T-Cross is a whopping $39K. I think I'd sooner have a base model Tiguan or a mid-spec T-Roc. Great review as always.

As usual it would be really useful if the presenter told us what his height and inside leg measurement is so we would know if we too would fit so well. My legs are very long so trying to find a car that is suitable is very hard. If the presenter mentioned those two things it would save me hours of trekking round dealerships testing for myself. Otherwise great review, thank you for sharing.

I think almost 32 mpg in an 8 series is pretty bloody good. No idea what engine was in the BMW because I'm not sure it was ever mentioned but it would be a minimum of 3 litres. Baffling

Checked this out earlier in the week. It's something I am considering. The "haters" out there tend to find something to complain about no matter what. I currently have a Polo which I am really feeling like I have to crawl into.....semi bad back. I can plop down in this a heck of a lot easier. I also took my golf bag in with me to the dealer and if I push the back seats forward I can get the bag behind the seats as long as I take the driver out.....not bad. If they ever find a fix for that blasted 1.5 engine issue I would rather have a T-roc or Skoda Karoq......but I will definitely think about buying this car. We put less than 6,000 miles a year on the car.....so the smaller engine isn't likely an issue. I don't want any of the extras, just don't need them so I can get one of these with the DSG for close to £20,000.

@@eetfuk1776 Check out the Skoda/VW/Seat forums. The 1.5 engine (especially manual) has a problem with "kangaroo" behavior in low gears and a hesitation issue as well. VW has acknowledged the problem. I was looking at the Skoda Karoq with the 1.5 DSG, but I'm not willing to risk it at this time. This T-cross with the bigger 114HP engine might work just fine for me.
