VICTOR AGARWAL
Age 44 Job Compliance and security manager Drives Volkswagen Up
“I want a new car with a higher seating position, to make access easier for my elderly mother.
“The T-cross’s door apertures are nice and wide and its sills low, so it’s easy to slide in and out. The seats are comfortable – although the squabs are a little short – and the controls and touchscreen are well laid out.
“I’m of average height and get enough head and leg room in the front and rear seats. Having a sliding rear bench is very useful, because you can increase luggage capacity or rear leg room.
“I’m disappointed that the top of the dashboard is made from hard plastic, because the Polo features some softer mouldings. But I’m glad the air conditioning controls are physical, because digital ones are too distracting.
“The digital instruments look great, but I’d forgo them, because my eyes are already strained by using a computer all day at work, and it would be pricey to replace.
“I’m pleased the car’s design enables you to see the end of the bonnet, making parking easy.
“Depending on how the car drives and what pricing and standard spec is like, my rating could shift one star either way.”
