      It doesn't look fine, it looks cheap expecially considering the price of the car. Polo has much nicer interior. Why feel it? Because some things you do touch regularly, some accidentally, hard plastics are noisy especially after a few years.Lastly I feel like I'm getting scammed when I pay a lot of money for the car and get rubbish interior which is worse than in theaper models.

    Thanks for the great review Thomas, agree the hard plastics need to be changed for the price. Like the design, the grip in the corners looks well grippy. Don't knkw if I'd spec the Akrapovic echaust at £3k, but it's a contender for my next car.

    I don't know why Thomas is referring to the Polo when he talks about the quality of the interior.
    The Polo uses definitely better materials since its dashboard is made of very soft touch materials, whereas the T-ROC only offers hard plastic everywhere.
    So it's more VW Up quality than Polo ...

I would not like that hard suspension (Cupra Ateca DCC is too hard for me also) - rather than this T-Roc, I'd take a Golf with improved interior or a full-spec Tiguan with much better interior, a HUD, DCC and more space! Yes, XK8: very nice - and your favourite car Thomas!

    Exterior is quite nice but the interior is still either bland or tacky, but in either case completely unacceptable for above 50k, here in Finland you would realistically be paying 65k for one after checking basic options (like a reversing camera, or paint) and easily go above that and at that price point you could get a BMW 330i xDrive touring business M-sport for cheaper brand new, so the pricing is absolutely ridiculous.

    I hope I’m wrong but I expect that this won’t be available in Canada. Having just purchased a Golf R as part of my downsizing effort I immediately see how this T-Roc R would have been a better option if it was available. Great dimension, powertrain and with a roof rack option and “tow hook”. I do not like that bright strip over the windows and down the c pillar.

      Media law is case law. And there have been verdicts for non-paid productions which still has to be marked as advertisement because a product review can be considered as a purchase helping publishing. So this is what our lawyers told us to be safe. Media law is not friendly towards publishers these days, so we have to watch out. There is no updated general jurisdiction which takes modern online media into account. So everyone will mark everything as advertisement just to be safe and viewers cannot distinguish anymore. That's why you have to know the guys who publish the stuff, and since we have a long-time record for authenticity, people understand our decision.

The exterior looks good though. Anyways, keep spamming me with reviews Thomas!😂✌️

    The blue inset in the door - front - different in the back ?? my OCD could not accept this, looks like your lost something and could not be bothered to match it ? I do struggle with an R version of this style of car when they still make the Golf: in reality, the T ROC should have been the 2019 Golf - made to the gold quality level, it would have been accepted then - but the love of SUV's is odd, I would take a current Golf as my daily driver over this.

    Are any animals' lives actually saved by using non-hide seats? Aren't the animals used for food anyway? If that is the case, wouldn't we be wasteful, and even disrespectful toward the animal, if we didn't use every part of it? I also wonder which type of seating is more environmentally friendly. I certainly wouldn't want an animal killed if it were ONLY being used for seating in my car. Thoughts, anyone?

    • @autogefuehl
      @autogefuehl  Před 4 lety +1

      Would u care for which body part u are being killed „first“? It makes no difference, you give money to an industry which makes profit by exploiting animals and humans against their will. First, check out what the leather industry is trying to do:

      @@autogefuehl My major point is that the skin is going to exist in some form whether we use it or not, as long as people and their pets continue to eat meat. It seems to me that no animal lives are being saved by the use of other seat covering products. Maybe it is better for environmental reasons if we throw away the hides and fabricate new synthetic or natural seat covers, but I don't see a moral aspect to this (as far as the animals are concerned), unless you are also going to attempt to convince the public to develop a non-meat diet. There may be merit to the environmental aspects of turning away from leather products, of this, I personally am not certain (I have not researched it), but I viewed your link and understand your point about that. I however disagree with some of the sentiment voiced within that particular video. Every industry is out to be profitable, so that is in-and-of-itself, irrelevant. What the leather industry is doing is what all industries do.....promote their product.
      I presume you are either vegan, or at the very least a vegetarian, don't wear leather shoes, belts, etc. (I did see the online store that you had linked to your other video), and if that's the case, I commend you. I have no doubt that you are well-intentioned.

    I sadly got this car for about 3 months because i had to wait for my Ford Focus ST Line...the VW T-ROC ( most basic version) is the worst car i've ever driven. Cheap plastic everywhere inside and the car is all over the place ( thank god for lane assist)
    Emergency braking when parking backwards when your 1,5m away from a bush *Whiplash warning*
    The seats are so bad that after a Journey of 150km i had to stop because my back was hurting like hell.
    And i won't talk about the suspension...nothing positive to write about that.
    It's a REALLY bad car. Better get a Dacia Duster then if you like cheap plastic and bad car overall; At least you get what you pay for.

    I love watching all your car reviews Thomas, you do a brilliant job, but although I do care a great deal about animal welfare, I would still opt for leather seats.... Much more luxurious, nothing beats the scent or feel of real leatherm and more importantly much easier to keep clean when you have three children! Totallyv respect your values, principles and point of view on this subject though. Please keep on doing what you're doing and making fantastic content!
    Have you reviewed the latest BMW X1 and Mini Countryman John Cooper Works...? I'd be interested to know how you think those vehicles compare to the T-Roc R...

    • @autogefuehl
      @autogefuehl  Před 3 lety +2

      Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: czcams.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/video.html
      In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which exact body part you would be murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse?
      The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination.
      If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: czcams.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/video.html
      Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
      For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
      In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette.
      Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
