Hot hatch fun in a practical SUV at a sharp price (Volkswagen T-Roc R 2024 Review)

[@eponymous7910]

Meh I wouldn't complain about it requiring 98 ron, anyone who gives two hoots about their vehicle and is keeping it outside of warranty is likely doing this already. I personally wouldn't run any modern Euro on anything less tbh...

[@chasingcars]

Many of us here at Chasing Cars also run Euros as our personal cars and would be inclined to agree. It's certainly not a deal breaker but its worth keeping in mind for your running costs.

[@billybob1511]

Meh, I wouldn't by anything that won't run on E10... Why not just make it run on E10, 91 or premium?

[@mbafalosable]

But it has the engine of golf 8 R (ea888 gen 4 DNFC ) with continental turbo and the gearbox dq 381 v2 Which makes it the best size with easy 400hp with just a remap. The only downside is that the rear camera is not high definition as the pre facelift and the dashboard screen is slow.

[@farrukhirshad3180]

do you prefer Peagout 3008 or vw trock?

[@LionelDockery]

How does it compare to the Cupra Formentor VZX?

[@jr800w]

I don’t agree that the Golf R has a slightly better 4WD system.

❤😊😲 WoW

Great review Tom, as always. I was waiting for the updated version - the non haptic - but it didn't come quickly enough so i bought the Audi A3 Quattro Premium Sports. Can't say I have buyer's remorse. Love the Audi. But nonetheless the T-Roc R looks great.

[@zaamuro8408]

Cupra Ateca with the physical steering wheels if I was after a similar VAG product.

[@robertceroli3512]

Petrol particulate filter sounds fantastic like something else to eff up

[@scollyutube]

Vs the Cupra Formentor it doesn't stack up though, and it definitely feels like it's an old model inside.

[@joem1066]

I can t find your full review on the Touareg R ?

[@chasingcars]

We've got a review of the Touareg R on our website at chasingcars.com.au

[@Mattaparker1]

I thought Tom finished up working at Chasing Cars?

[@chasingcars]

Certainly not! Tom continues to work with the Chasing Cars team, so expect to see much more from him in the future.

​@@chasingcarsthat's weird I heard a similar thing.... 🤔 what is going on at chasing cars I was about to unsubscribe....

[@Lukeheski]

Does Tiguan have a more masculine edge? I’ve only seen Insta-girls driving these.

[@Mike_221]

@@Lukeheski I don't think it's girly at all. Any bloke who doesn't act on the innate urge to drive a pick-up truck or jacket up ute earns my respect.

[@yslee1401]

Thank god this review is not about a PRC branded vehicle. Nice VW

[@jeremybean-hodges6397]

Why not a Golf over one of these?😊

[@zaamuro8408]

Costs significantly more

[@peterkensey6728]

I had two tuned Golf Rs and loved them. Then I hit 70 and getting in and out of a Golf became a chore. I bought a T-Roc R and it's much easier. Currently waiting to have it tuned.

[@sergeikonstantinov7614]

@@peterkensey6728are you worried about voiding warranty? Looking to get a Tiguan (either R line or R), want to get it tuned but afraid of voiding warranty in case something goes wrong

[@soultanasmaga9661]

Ν

[@clsport3000]

Great car VWs when new and under warranty but then………….

[@robertceroli3512]

Then put it up for sale and purchase a new one and you'll never have a prob

[@bdub884]

Are people really paying 70k for a hatchback that has less practicality than a honda fit?

[@chasingcars]

To be fair, the Honda Fit/Jazz set an unusually high bar for practicality in its segment.

[@ryanarnold7515]

Are people really buying this to compare it to a Honda jazz?
