Volkswagen T-Roc review (2022)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Since I purchased the car it has had an annoying "kangaroo hop" effect when setting off in slow moving traffic. 2 weeks after purchase I contacted VW who said they were unaware of this issue. That was 6 months ago. Having spoken to numerous owners of the 1.5 TSI EVO engine, most manual gearbox owners have the same problem. My local dealership have now taken a look and they have confirmed the car has a problem and VW are currently looking at a fix, but are unable to give any timescales for when this is likely to happen. I am aware that some owners had complained as far back as 11 months ago and yet VW are unable to provide a solution. I really like the T-Roc but this problem has let it and VW down. Had the engine been ok I would have been happy to give this 5 stars.
