Volkswagen T-Roc SUV SE 1.5 TSI EVO 150PS 5d Owner Review

I got the SEL model. Good spec including park assist, reversing camera, battery regeneration braking, full lighting pack, climate control. Digital display which is pin sharp and colourful. It’s kangaroo free so not sure why others have this problem. 1.5 Evo with cylinder reduction technology. 6 speed manual with driving modes. Handling is golf like which is rare for an SUV. This car has good performance and is very quiet at any speed. It has a good driving position which is high which gives good visibility. The styling is good and distinctive. I have had compliments from neighbours. My only complaint is that some interior plastics are cheap looking and hard to the touch, such as armrest handles and the top of the dash. This is disappointing as I previously owned a golf and the difference is stark and the golf felt more refined. I hear it’s to keep costs down but I disagree, as this car is not cheap. And I think this is inexcusably from this manufacturer, especially given the customers it wants to attract with this model. However the cheap plastics are outweighed by the cars other qualities. As it has good handling and drive is smooth and quiet. Load space is good, so is other storage and interior space lots of tech, good styling, This car is a great all rounder. It’s economical too. It’s an ideal car for a family of four.
