PAUL BIDDLE
Age 62 Job Solicitor Drives Audi Q2 “I’m looking to downsize slightly without losing the sophistication of a Volkswagen Group product.
“I prefer the T-cross to the Polo because of its higher driving position, and over the T-roc because it looks more utilitarian.
“It’s very comfortable inside, and the panels and trims are of high quality. The seats are very comfortable, although these are the range-topping R-line set. It’s roomy for me, too, at 6ft tall.
“This would be an easy car to place on the road, because you can see the bonnet and rear visibility is impressive.
“I’m particularly impressed by Volkswagen’s offering of a sliding rear bench in this class and at this price; few rivals have that.
“The touchscreen has crisp graphics and simple menus, plus it’s very responsive. I’d pay for the digital instruments, too.
“I’m glad to hear that all the latest active safety systems are available, and especially that many of them are standard.
“The one letdown for me is that you can’t have a sunroof.
“I like how the Polo drives, because it favours comfort and refinement over sportiness, so I hope the T-cross simply feels like a higher-up version of that.”
