Very capable and well-built car. Good on the road, nicely quiet up to 100 km/h. Praise for the 1.5 TSI engine — very dynamic and very economical. Over a distance of 36,000 km the average fuel consumption is 6.2 liters per 100 km. Half on high-speed roads, half in the city. Driven with a heavy foot.

I chose the T‑Cross — more comfortable and roomier inside, especially for adult passengers; bought on the model‑year clearance — running costs work out cheaper even taking into account fuel savings from the Toyota hybrid (planned over five years); I like the space and the VW suited me better — I prefer the view through the front windshield.
