How safe is the T-Roc convertible?
The T-Roc Cabriolet hasn’t been tested for safety by Euro NCAP and the expired rating for the regular T-Roc didn’t apply to the convertible version. Even so, at least it comes with plenty of safety systems, including lane-keeping assistance and automatic emergency braking (AEB). Unlike those Volkswagen-powered fibreglass kit cars from the ’60s, however, the T-Roc Cabriolet has modern-day refinement, reliability and technology. In fact, beyond the car’s ability to retract its roof, it’s just as easy to use and drive as a regular T-Roc.The T-Roc is slightly easier to park than the Tiguan, and slightly cheaper – although neither of these cars are among the most affordable SUVs. It still features much of the same technology and equipment, and still has plenty of space for most buyers’ needs.
Is T-Roc worth buying?
Volkswagen T-Roc FAQs Yes, it is a good car. Our expert reviewers have given the T-Roc a score of 7/10. The Volkswagen has a big boot and drives well, but it’s uncomfortable over bumps and some alternatives are more affordable. While the Audi is the quintessential German SUV, with a huge grille and plenty of sharp edges, the T-Roc is just as impressive. The VW brings similarly sharp styling, chunky grilles and intimidating stature, but it definitely feels more family focused. We think the Audi is sportier and the T-Roc more laidback.Volkswagen T-Roc The Volkswagen T-Roc is rare in that you can still buy one with all four wheels driven, which while it doesn’t make this family car a mud-plugging off-roader should mean it stands rather more of a chance in the snow than a regular SUV.
What are the disadvantages of the T-Roc?
Some owners have mentioned uneven braking or noises under pressure. While not too common, these problems tend to come down to worn pads, faulty callipers, or brake fluid issues. It’s worth noting that the T-Roc’s automatic emergency brake system can also activate unpredictably in some cases, especially in traffic. Several T-Roc owners have reported engine-related problems, ranging from stalling and misfiring to oil leaks. These issues can impact the vehicle’s performance, fuel efficiency and overall reliability.
