      @brits72 Před 4 lety

      Theinterimbeast87 honesty try the Q2 first,and unless you can get the S line there so basic... I really thought that the Audi would have been better? I’ve never had a brand new car only classic vws,still have my camper and my mk3 GTi. But my health now insists I need comfort... I’ve racked my brains over these two SUVs and done a lot of research... I hope you get one 😊

    • @theinterimbeast8752
      @theinterimbeast8752 Před 4 lety +1

      brits72 my auntie has a Q2 s line that’s what got her onto the idea of getting one. I think the RS Q3 looks really nice but it’s just far too expensive I like you have never had a new car before even the T roc I’ll be getting will probably be a 69plate with a couple of thousand miles on the clock. I’ve looked at so many different cars and the T roc just seems to fit the bill for everything, I like a bit of speed off the line it looks comfortable and drives well. Give me an update on whatever you get :)

    Also, unlike its sister car, the Audi SQ2, the T-Roc R can be had with adaptive dampers.
    But I have a question: I know this concerns the T-Roc R’s sister car and not the T-Roc R itself, but why isn’t the SQ2 available with adaptive dampers like the T-Roc R?

    The T-roc was built on the polo chassis not golf, but still amazing car. The only thing is, if you do have kids do not buy this car, not enough boot space at all and the back seats haven't got the most space. I know because I sell these.

    • @naalasky4611
      @naalasky4611 Před 2 lety

      @@jerryrawlings8885 I would 100% say that you would fit in both, however the leg room in the back would be the problem. You could probably fit someone that’s no bigger then 6ft otherwise their knees will be feeling the front two seats. Despite the T-cross being the shorter car, it provides more leg room. I would definitely recommend driving both or maybe even taken for a day. I work for Volkswagen and I know some retailers offer you to take the car for the day, to see if it fits your lifestyle.

    Try telling Ronaldo he's middle aged 😂 Stop moaning about your back and get your ass down the gym (friendly advice from someone nearly a decade older than you, with no bad back!!).
    p.s. good shout on the car, very nice.
    BUT personally I would get a Cupra Ateca and save some money... for your gym subscription.
    ...or a Cupra Leon estate which is still 4 wheel drive, can be tuned to 350 bhp through Seat without losing the warranty and is more practical and probably better to drive...
    ... or a superb 280 sportline which has LOADS more room and comfort (think Audi A6), the same engine / AWD / LSD and is still cheaper!
