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.

Very practical, interior space is excellent. Lacks charm, fuel consumption is a bit high.

It’s aimed at drivers who value standout looks and fuss-free ownership over sports-car thrills, so if you want personality and reliability in one tidy package, book a test drive.
