RE: Volkswagen T-Roc R vs Ford Focus ST Estate

[MB140]

Good review and if I had to chose it would be the ST, another point is the T-Roc is over the £40k price as spec’d so subject to lux car tax.

I wonder how that will effect sales considering the ST is quite a bit cheaper.

I dont think it's ever been the raised height, it more the tonka toy, lifestyle, surfboard-on-roof looks.

Its not necessarily about the ride height, its the more upright seating position, and yes the 90mm extra height allows for a more comfortable, ergonomic and ultimately healthier driving position.

Which would mean only the elderly drive them then?

As I said, no young person is buying a car for the driving position and ease of ingress/egress, but they are buying SUVs so my above point still stands.

And does that matter even if they are?

Where did I say it did?

Having read some of your posts you're very good at creating vendettas where there aren't any.

Very odd behaviour.
