I have now had my T-Cross a month and thought I would share my opinions..
https://www.tcrossforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=158&p=672&hilit=month#p672
1) Overall, very happy with car, good size, nice to drive, easy to manourver, turns heads..
2) Little 1.0L TSI is better than I expected, pulls well above 2000 rpm and goes quite well.
3) Fuel economy is good, my 10 mile commute using varying roads has given 46 mpg over the month.
4) Reversing camera is well recommended, combined with parking sensors is superb.
5) Active Info is also recommended, nice and clear and highly configurable.
6) Ride of the SEL is good, the larger 205/55/R17 rubber gives a lovely smooth ride.
7) I can see what the reviews mean about cheap interior, it is a bit flimsy in places.
8) Build quality overall is decent, but cost saving is evident, not as good as my previous Golf.
9) Car-Net doesn't have all the features as advertised in the brochure. Security and Service is missing.
10) Shiny interior surfaces difficult to keep clean, especially the infotainment screen.
11) Wipers initially shudder across the windscreen, but get better with use.
12) Knocking in centre of car, traced to passenger seat belt buckle knocking on console when not in use.
13) Could do with second floor in boot, when floor in upper position can't really store stuff underneath.
14) Bluetooth link to phone seems a bit unreliable, doesn't always connect when car is started.
15) Lane Assist is horrible, don't like it all, keeps trying to pull me into the verges on narrow roads.
16) Stop Start system is strange combined with the keyless system. Strange behaviour..
For example, when stopped and parked on my drive, if button is pressed to switch off, starts engine again !!
If I can think of anything else I will add to the list.
