OK, I'll bite. Spent 6 months in Europe and drove ALL sorts of rental cars. Had a Skoda Kamiq for a month (T-Cross with a different badge) and did 8,000km in it. I actually quite liked it apart from the looks. That 1L 3cyl is also no slouch. I actually had to count the spark plugs to make sure my car was "only" the 1L variant. I did quite a bit of autobahn kms with it and it genuinely cracked 200, and between 2L diesels and petrols in other rentals.....it was actually the only one that managed it. The 160-180 overtaking range is much stronger than a 1L engine should ever be. And I say this coming from a 300+ kw V8 back at home, so that is not something I say lightly.... It was also the only rental of four (Merc, Mazda, Citroen and the Skoda) that didn't have a single electrical/mechanical issue during the time I rented it. Also, VW isn't a premium badge. Never has been, isn't priced like it either. They cost the same as a Toyota so I don't understand why there's a weird obsession with calling VW a "premium offering"?

[@johnlaine2654]

@@olly1oo6 I agree about the pricing not being Luxury. Here in Sydney a Toyota Corolla Base model is about the same and it’s boot is the size of a handbag.. also way too low for me to be able to get In and Out of the car…I paid $36,000 in Mid 2021 for my Style model with Sound and Vision Pack. I thought it was quite competitive.. and VW gives Road Service FREE each year after an Annual Service.( up to 5 years).Just have to remind Service dept to renew it. Obviously costs them money.

[@AnthonyMcPhee]

​@@johnlaine2654 Toyota charges a bit of a premium these days too, but compared to the rest of the competition (Mazda cx-3, Kia Stonic, Hyundai Venue) the T-Cross is a good $5k+ more expensive - the numbers show they are positioning for the premium end of the small car market.

[@davidperry3531]

I agree with your comments. VW are not a premium brand as these two want to mention all the time and their natural anti VW bias comes over all the time and I’m a bit sick of it.

In Kenya we get it with a N/A 1.6L 4-cyl petrol with a 6-speed torque converter AT(Aisin unit) , borrowed from VW Polo Vivo (which is technically a Polo Mk5).

[@justjoe8303]

My wife has a 2021 T-Cross R line, it had a radiator tank leak and was replaced under warranty. Other than that it has been a great little car with no other issues to date. As we are empty nesters so it suits us perfectly. I actually quite like driving it. Once you get used to the dual clutch auto, it is like driving a little go cart and does put a smile on your face with the spirited little 1ltr engine. This is our second VW and had a Tiguan for about 6 years and had to replace the timing chain and tensioner in that (we did it as preventative maintenance) and the PCV so we are aware of their problems. We did have a Mazda CX-30 for about 6 months and we did not enjoy that car at all. Yes the interior was nice, but that was about it, thin paint, very intrusive driver aids and voice notifications and to be honest, the driving experience was very, meh! Our best car to date was a Honda 2006 CRV. We had it for 10 years, 250000kms and it was just a brilliant, reliable and comfortable car. Still never used oil between services. We did look at the HRV when buying but just didn't like it to drive.

Fuel economy has been great 5.5L per 100km (in the city), digital dash is great, the beats audio system thumps, and the car looks great (in my opinion) and has aged well for a 3 going on 4 year old car. I’d buy another one in a heart beat.

I have a old Mercedes W204 in Australia and when I visited again, I rented a T-Cross with points just for the fun of it.

VW isn't the best at anything, but it's good at everything, that's why people love it. Here in Croatia, the T-cross is very popular, and not very expensive, 20,000 euros for the basic model. For 24,000 euros you can buy a solidly equipped model with a 1.5 L engine, 150 horsepower, DSG. One rule should be followed with every car, always buy a facelift model, because mostly all the problems it had before the facelift are solved.

And it loves to fail when I am in a dodgy area where I have to be for work. Rattles from nowhere - FOR SURE! Since i've collected the car, it had a rattle from the rear door it seems.

[@johnalekna4157]

Thanks for the review guys. I tried out a T-Cross a couple of years ago and was not impressed with the interior (flimsy and cheap), and worse there was the awful road feedback through the steering wheel (i.e. none at all). When I asked the salesperson about this he said "this is what people want". He also couldn't tell me whether the engine had a chain or timing belt. Ended up buying an XV which is much more solid and much more pleasant inside. Despite many reviews indictating the 2.0 litre non turbo is underpowered hasn't been my experience - never felt it has run out of power in a sticky situation. It is noisy though when you give it some stick as the reviews describe.

[@needleontherecord]

You’ll need to watch for the XV burning oil. I had one that did that after 30,000kms and 2 years old. I sold it before anything else went wrong and went back to Toyota. It was a fun to drive though, just not to own mid term

We bought a 2020 T-Cross 1.0T DSG Comfortline with R-line exterior brand new in 2020, and sold it in 2022 with 23k kms on the clock. Had no issues, other than the electronic release of the fuel cap malfunctioning once in 2021 which was replaced under warranty. Sold it for the top of the range 1.5T Highline DSG with R-line kit, also 2020 but now preowned with 22k kms on the clock, with all the amenities that comes with the top spec. Currently on 52k kms and has been absolutely flawless. The folding mirrors are a bit “noisy”, but I’d say it just sounds mechanical 🤷‍♂️. I will say the only thing is poorer noise insulation due to the thinner tires on the R-line spec. I can absolutely say that I doubt it’s a long-term car (plus five years, out of warranty), but it definitely is a huge upgrade from the 2015 1.0 EcoBoost EcoSport we had prior to them.

[@joebot2127]

This may be the most brutal review you guys have done.

I owned the exact same version of the Tcross for over 3 years. Only major issues were the terrible stop-start, jerky DSG, Interior and exterior plastics that scuff and scratch easily and the folding rear mirrors - yes, they sounded like a grinder when opening and closing. It was a 7/10 car for me 😊

[@aaaaplay]

The infotainment system can be fixed with an update. The sound issues (including none at all) requires the amplifier on models with the Beats system to be updated. This could be fixed if Volkswagen enabled WiFi updates. In Europe the MIB3 gets updates OTA via LTE. But we don’t have that service. So we’re reliant on dealers to supply the updates. Unfortunately, many dealers take the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach to updates. When many owners will think these issues are just how they are. Making things worse, some service centre will just lie. I’ve had that happen to me. All I had to do was check the software version.

Talking about depreciation, I bought a mg zst brand new in 2023 Feb for 33990. Just went to sell it few weeks back and it sold for 24k. So the depreciation was horrendous. Demand v supply at its finest.

[@nicolasbinse325]

Just adding my 2 cents here. And in full disclosure I have the newer (base) version, and only for a few months now, but I am globally very satisfied with the car. Yes to a few annoyances with apple car play needing to be rebooted and the transmission a bit slow to start but otherwise very happy and I have driven a couple of cars from the same category from rental and for example I would run away from a susuki vitara. The T cross feels so much more premium and also the level of equipment now from the base model is awesome from rear view camera to assists etc…

[@maneystellenboom7225]

South African viewer here… I have the 2020 1.0 95kw dsg r line model. I’ve had almost ALL the issues moaned about. Centre console just freezes, Apple carplay super problematic, parking sensors go bonkers for no reason, super squeaky over bumps, wireless charger wants to make my phone explain from heat, mirrors have gotten stuck. Nothing at all wrong mechanically though, other than the car starting to roll! But I’m 100% over the vw price vs it’s cheap materials, so I’m likely not going back for more (I’ve had 5 Vw’s so far 🙈)

[@christrupp2250]

At the end of the day for us it came down to price. Our local VW dealer had a pre-facelift runout sale where the T-cross was cheaper than the CX-3 and vitara turbo. We’re not too worried haha it’s just a car.

"Judging where the parameters of the car are" 13:23 Adam, it's not parameters of the car it's perimeter. Every video; enough is enough; I had to speak out.

I went thru 4 GTI and enjoyed how the car drove, but the constant problems lead me to moving away from VW after kids came into the picture. VW is not a brand for people on a budget or people who like to hold on to their money.

Passenger space in these is more comparable to Mazda CX-5 rather than CX-3, with the latter there isn't even any comparison.

[@josephcullen2512]

I'm a fan of the styling tho

[@yzh6479]

Nice wrist watch collection!

[@Mark-ku2sn]

Funny how every other review says its really enjoyable to drive and way better than competitors like the mazda cx3. Maybe thats just the 2024.

I occasionally drive a 2022 VW with the 1.5 TSI engine for work (company car not mine)and the car has been plagued with faults since new. Not a month without an engine check light on or some electrical/ issues. Its on its second clutch master cylinder and it has had the EVAP system and all fuel injectors change. These are the faults i have witnessed with it in the past 6 months, according to few other colleagues it has had major repairs before and the thing has done only 57.000Km and is 2 years old. VAG products are ABSOLUTE rubbish stay away if you value your money.

I lost faith in VWs a long time ago with their antipollution exhaust.

[@a.m.9357]

My issue isn't about the poor build quality or unreliability, but why do these people keep buying these despite knowing the same thing for decades?

[@TheRguru1]

So a brand-new VW can't even handle water ingress while an old HRV stands up fine to butter chicken ingress.

HELLO IF YOU WANT TO REVIEW A CROWN MAJESTA I HAVE ONE IN MELBOURNE VIC OKAY

[@williamegler8771]

Volkswagen holds 6% of the world's automotive market which is second only to Toyota. In 2023 they sold over 9 million vehicles worldwide and many of those sales were to repeat buyers who were satisfied enough with their present vehicle to buy one from the same manufacturer again. There is obviously something about them that appeals to buyers and it's not like buyers don't have other choices. I have owned a VWs in the past as well as Japanese and Korean vehicles. I maintain my vehicles and overall the VWs were very robust. Not as reliable as the Toyota or Hondas I owned but better than the Nissans Kias and Hyundais.

[@htimmermans1938]

About 5mln Volkswagens were sold in 2023.

[@familyaccount5345]

Owned 4 new VW products since 2017, and T-Cross was the absolute worst vehicle of the group. Poor interior quality, infotainment connection concerns, poor ergonomics of the front seats, front brake pads/disc wear / replacement within 24,000 km, and a 2 day visit to the local VW w/shop to replace parts in the DSG gearbox. New model is overpriced, and the maintenance 5 year plan has increased by 55%. Just sold and replaced it with a Japanese SUV with far less ownership concerns reported, and a maintenance plan that is far more cheaper, for a far premium vehicle. VW, you have lost the plot, and a loyal customer.

[@maz500]

Brand Appeal? Volkswagen is literally german for 'People's Car'

[@UNKNOWN_NICKEL]

No, you shouldn't buy a T-Cross. If you want a small VW, get a Polo.

[@markt9028]

I drove a work one, Yeah rubbish car. It had a panic attack coming in to a car spot and locked up the brakes because of a wheel stop.
