Volkswagen T-Roc review (2022)

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

In their own words

I like a smart ‘utility’ car and this was the best for my budget. A few niggles one which the dealer sorted and annoyingly on a new car the dealer did nothing about the wiper blade noise so I had to put new blades on my new car. Boot is very heavy to close so with hindsight I would have chosen the electric closer. Technology is very competitive against other makes, I don’t use most of it but any man who gets in my car can’t resist playing with it. Some concern that it doesn’t always retain the display I’ve selected but as well as knobs and steering wheel controls there is a good touch screen which I may be accidentally activating. Auto gear box is good but DSG seems to need a second to respond in some circumstances however when your going and want to go faster it’s brilliant, I call it a wolf in sheep’s clothing! I think I may still be a Mercedes person at heart but I know a couple of people who want this car off me.
