Well, except for the quantifiable facts that it has a small boot, is more expensive, is fractionally slower and has a lower quality interior.
Don’t get me wrong, I like it, I think it looks great but that statement doesn’t really hold up. I’ll be surprised if it’s as good to drive too, given the compromises of the crossover layout - higher CoG etc.
I’ll put you blind folded in two cars with a small difference in COG, and you do a down the shops and back route, if you can tell which is which I’ll give you 10 grand Don’t get me wrong, I like it, I think it looks great but that statement doesn’t really hold up.

I mean, I seriously doubt I’d be able to tell but that’s a 50/50 shot at ten grand, gotta be worth a punt. When and where?

No-one is going to buy it. PCP deals coming soon.
Prices of cars are going frigging stupid of lateHmmm a t-roc for 38k plus options is going to be over 40k which puts the tax up then if we have brexit and they impose 10% etc etc
Rather get a pre reg Macan for 44-45k

But not a like for like comparison, especially if you're financing the purchase. You may as well say 'I'll wait for a pre-reg T-Roc R and save myself £10k'. (And how much will a pre-reg Macan cost after a 10% import duty as been applied to new ones?)Hmmm a t-roc for 38k plus options is going to be over 40k which puts the tax up then if we have brexit and they impose 10% etc etc

£38k is a few K more than a Golf R, so it doesn't sound too far off on price.

Well they wouldn’t get 30–38k out of me£38k is a few K more than a Golf R, so it doesn't sound too far off on price.
Christ makes my mk7 gti pp a relative bargain!!
30k plus options rrp was 37k
7k discount got it for 30k
This t-roc will go over 40k with a couple of options and that brings it to the over 40k tax bracket even if discounted back to 38k its a lot of money both to buy and run!
I would like to see people sit in the golf r estate and then sit in the T-Roc R and tell me which is nicer.
The T-Roc has a more plastic dash than the golf r.
I agree re handling etc, all most people care about is how fast it is in a straight line, I very rarely get to use the full performance of my r on a regular basis.
I get why it exists (the T-Roc R), its where the market has been for the last 10 years (thanks nissan Qahsqai!) but personally if its going to be the wifes car, there are quite a few cars that I think are better than the T-Roc R (not as fast but better as a family car - pug 3008 for a start).
