  • Thank you to Barnards Volkswagen, part of the Marriott motor group for lending me your new T-Cross for filming. (Sorry I nearly slammed it into a fence)
    Please contact Barnards on: 01449 424011 if you would like more information on the Volkswagen T-across or would be interested in booking a test drive. Or email your enquire here: www.marriottmotorgroup.co.uk/...
    Volkswagen newest member of its ever growing SUV family is the T-cross. The VW T-Cross is effectively a taller, beefier-looking Polo. It is 54mm longer and 138mm taller. You sit 100mm higher up. Bit more practical than a Polo though, thanks to increased overall length, a sliding rear bench seat and optional folding front passenger seat. VW claims it’s the most spacious and therefore practical car in its class.
    So what did I think? Well watch the video and find out!

    I’ve currently shortlisted this as my next car and have scheduled a test drive. I’ve reviewed these to death but your review has been enlightening and I’m grateful for the additional detail. Was worried about coming from a 2 litre GTD Golf to a 1 litre. Love it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Hi Tish, Thanks for the review, been looking at the T Cross. Had a Golf 2 litre diesel 140 for 7 years and it may be a bit of a culture shock. You're right about the reversing camera, or lack of one in the SE. The high driving position is appealing. My wife has an UP with heated seats and loves them like you. Good luck with you're new job and this channel. You have the personality and looks to make it a success. Don't blame you for sacking the car sales job, crap.

      Thank you so such for subscribing, I really appreciate it! Hahaha.... that’s not the first time emergency city breaking has kicked in for me 🙈 when I first started driving the new cars at VW it actually came on quite a lot (going forward) and it taught me to be a better driver!
      I’m planning a T-Roc V Audi Q2 video with my dad as he wants one but I think he’ll get more for his money with the T-roc! (The T-roc is much better than the T-across in my opinion)

    Hi Tish, this is my first time watching one of your car reviews, and i must say that i was very impressed with your presentation overall.
    My question to you, do you think this car would be suitable for my good lady and myself.
    My reason for asking is that were pensioners with severe back pain, and can't enter or exit an ordinary low set vehicle.
    At the moment ive got a Moka 1.4.turbo elite, and will be changing it at the end of 2019.
    So i would be gratefull to you, if you could advise me, as to what you think would be a suitable car to change via my Motability scheme lease contract.
    Thank you in advance.Ps.You put me in mind of my Grandaughters and there lovely girls like yourself Tish.
    Long may you continue with the good work and presentation of pre car reviews.👍🇬🇧💞

      @AutoSocialUK  4 роки тому

      Hey James, Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and leave such a lovely comment!
      I certainly think this car would be suitable; similar as the Moka it has been designed with people with mobility issues in mind and is much easier to get in and out of that usual hatchbacks. What part of the world do you live in James?
      Thank you again, Tish :) :)

    Lovely and charming! Very nice and comprehensive review. The new T-Cross is indeed an improvement on the Polo, if one is into SUV's.
    If I should critique something, it would be the camera and sound work. Maybe you just need better equipment for professional sound and picture quality. A really cheap but beneficial upgrade would a directional external microfone suitable for outdoor use. They can be fitted with a "dead cat" windscreen noise reduction. I believe the "Røde VideoMic Me-L" or "Røde VideoMic Me" come with a dead cat attachment. I can also recommend getting a gimbal like the "DJI Osmo Mobile 2" for steadier camera work.
    Also, you are very professionaI and precise in this video, but I must admit I prefer a more casual laid back review style, like you did on your mini adventure video with Loren. That was fun as well as informative. Slow it down a bit and don't worry if you don't get every technical tidbit in the video.
    Keep up the good work! ❤️

    • @AutoSocialUK
      @AutoSocialUK  5 років тому +3

      Jacob Frostholm thank you Jacob! Always appreciate any feedback that will help me improve! The T-cross is a good little car but for spec included I would pay a little more for the T-Roc!
      I will work on getting better sound quality as much as I can BUT I am pretty broke atm so I have to work with what I’ve got. Do have a mini dead cat though so I’ll try that and see if it improves!
      Going to try and have a mix of fun and informative don’t you worry 😊😊

      I do agree. VW have given the T-Roc and T-Cross plastically interior and it is most people’s gripe with the car. I think they’d have sold shed loads if it was high quality!
