    So many motoring journalists just follow the herd but you have the courage to say what you like and articulate why.

    The 2.0 T engine would last the longest in the long run, would last longer without the turbo, personal preference, tax costs ect, is a nice looking car, I had a golf 2.0 MK4 that I had to put an engine in due to the amount of oil it burnt, was a good drive, consider it for your next car ❤

    I don't think the Up is a wrong choice. However, I would have gone for the convertible personally.
    It does suit you REALLY well. :)

    Great Review Tish of the T-roc Convertible. I can see how it might appeal to certain people and our Hand Over Sales assistant had one as her demo at B.S.E. VW. They still have a little scuttle shake as most convertibles do, but I think you made the right choice with the UP! GTI.

    Hi, I have a T Roc with the 1.5 engine. On a recent holiday trip, I managed 66 mpg. When cruising two cylinders shut off, incredibly efficient. Is the 1 ltr even more efficient?

  • @CarObsession
    @CarObsession Před 9 měsíci +1

    Well presented Tish! Some parts of the video looked to be out of sync on the audio, though but maybe that's an issue my side. I've had it where one of videos is fine, but the odd user has said it's out of sync, when it wasn't, just a glitch their end.
    Edit: I think you made the right choice getting the Up GTI personally.

    @kickstand801 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Right off the bat: the proportions! Definitely has that subcompact appearance, with some convertible touches sprinkled in. I love how Volkswagen stay true to their front design. In a world full of big grills, they keep theirs small, simple and tasteful. Fake exhaust and vents are unacceptable so they're getting zonked. I've seen better interiors, and the engine choices all comes down to pricing and preference i suppose. Not my favourite ride tbh. If i wanted a convertible for around the same money, but with more performance and practicality, i'd rather have an Audi TT Roadster. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the T Roc is for those who fancy a crossover convertible vehicle. Great review as always. Thumbs up.

  • @gordonmurray2631
    @gordonmurray2631 Před 9 měsíci

    My wife just got the 1.0ltr version of this and I can say you are bang on the money saying it's the best version. Not only is there more than enough power you also have the slightly softer suspension & even better the steering wheel has physical buttons rather than the touch sensitive ones on the upper models.

    12:20 PM It's a really nice 👍 exterior and interior and I love 💕 the windows when the top is down. The curve glass really makes the convertible attractive and makes me want to buy one,but I'm probably to big to fit in it which is one of its major problems. Nice review Tish, hate the flip-flops, it ages you.😢😮😢😮😢😮.

  • @bradc9123

    Interesting, We don't have these in the western side of the world. Do these come just in a soft top or hard top as well?

  • @chryschrysostomou5392
    @chryschrysostomou5392 Před 9 měsíci +1

    You do look good in the T-Roc convertible. But, I wouldn't swap it for my Eos. I would dread to think how much I would worry on the security side, concerning hard top/soft top. Plus, I can drive with only a sunroof open, something unique to the Eos. Pity they stopped producing the Eos. Tish, you have my blessing, if you decide to buy the T-Roc Cabrio!

  • @grayone321
    @grayone321 Před 9 měsíci

    Now the pain of manual hoods has gone I would choose a convertible especially as it brings a smile every day and on our congested roads the ability to put the hood down in a few seconds to enjoy the open air on our slow roads means that the soft top wins even if it loses out on slightly less space in the rear and boot.

    The UP GTI is a good practical town car, and you can't really beat it, but it's not 'cool' like a Fiat 500 is. So. Get that VW cabrio for the summer, and when the weather turns, jump into a Fiat 500 .... don't forget to put winter tyres with low noise rating on it though. Simples. 😂

    I hate the idea of convertible crossovers. It makes no sense.
    The Evoque Convertible was a massive flop, but the T-Roc Convertible is surprisingly gaining popularity. Perhaps its significantly lower price is the reason for that.
    Since JLR launched the Evoque Convertible, it sold 13,700 vehicles during its lifecycle.

  • @michaelbousfield4778
    @michaelbousfield4778 Před 9 měsíci

    I like the T-Roc but the convertable seems like a pointless car.
    If I am buying a convertible then I want a 2 door roadster but then I do have an MG TF.

  • @user-bs1wx1tb7e
    @user-bs1wx1tb7e Před 5 měsíci +1

    Yes only you love it. This car is meh at best. It may be a top seller european convertible but that is because there are not that many affordable european convertibles anymore, so there is not exactly a lot of competition.... As a car this makes no sense to me. Convertibles need to be fun to drive, so they shouldn't be based on crossovers or suvs. They are fun cars, not practical cars. Cutting the top off already destroys their driving dynamics and they need to add more weight, so why base this on an already botched crossover platfrom to begin with? Not to mention that the worst thing that can happen in a convertible is rolling over, so the last thing you want is to base it on an tall platform... Also, why no hard top roof? 4/5 seaters with soft tops are a big no no for most sensible people. Such cars are meant to be your only car most of the time, unlike let's say an MX-5 which is a weekend car. So not having a hard top for additional security and for cruising at high speeds on the motorway comfortably is a big no-no. It is a great car if you don't have to pay for it and live with it long term, i agree. It is garbage if you are to buy it for yourself.

  • @sharonec5419
    @sharonec5419 Před 9 měsíci

    Did VW have 3 designers design this car lol. It's a mess. The front look like it wS designed by two different designers just like an original Fiat Multipla but at least the Fiat Multipla was a brilliantly designed car. Then the side and back of this if they were designed at were designed by a different designer.
