Drove both, preferred the T-roc over the audi. Don't care about plastics on the interior, it just drove better, felt better and in my humble opinion looked better. To each his own... :)

I’ve just bought a T ROC. I love it, I bought it because I have osteoporosis and need a perch and swing in seat. I’m 73 so am getting a big old for a hot hatch, but have had my moments in Alfasuds. The T ROC allows me to put stuff easily in the boot, gives me all round good vision higher up than an Audi A3 or a Golf. I find it sporty enough for my needs. Agree the finish of the dash is hard plastic but.... do I really care? Not a lot

It'd have been great if it was a car with the Troc's exterior with the Q2's interior

T-Roc looks better imo. Bet only reason they made the interior cheaper is not to overlap the Audi.

I’ve just been and looked at them I prefer the TRoc

If Mat teamed up with a manufacturer to design and build the perfect car then the dashboard would be padded, the boot would have no lip, the back seats would fold exactly flat, there would be no fake exhaust, you would be able to carry water bottles inside every door, the C pillars would have 'opera windows' in them, the centre console would be solid as a rock and there would be enough headroom for abraham Lincoln to ride in the back wearing his top hat. What did I miss? I do think Mat should design a car though, I would buy one rather than something Pininfarina churned out.

Got the missus a second hand 2020 Q2 1.0 sport and it's great for her, we got a nice warranty deal for 5 years with the Audi dealership we bought it from. It had daft low mileage and was immaculate. The Audi is fab. I love it, nice comfortable drive and it's rock solid on the road the breaking system is the sharpest I've ever had on a vehicle and it's safe as houses. iThe steering is nice and responsive, very responsive in fact. It feels professional if that's the right word, or 'classy'. it's also more fuel economical than our old 1.3 ten year old Corsa!! Yes some of the trim is a bit plastic'y but the breaking, suspension and engine system is where the engineering is. We tried Seat (too rubbery on the road) Renault (too sluggish) and Toyota (too cheap feeling) and various other makes and none of them felt like the Audi to drive. Massive boot space and comfy interior. It's comfortable, has a fair bit of poke to the engine, feels more like a 1.3/1.4 engine and is very very comfortable. I keep the old banger and she has the Audi. Luckily she looks after it and it doesn't do huge amounts of miles. A good little car to pick up second hand for a good price, but a good warranty is worth getting if you can preferably from an authorised dealer rather than a 'car warehouse' type retailer. Yes, there's a lot of expensive upgrades and such like, but I'd never buy a car like this brand new! If i was looking for more luxury I'd have gone for a second hand Q3 sport version but we don't need a bigger and more expensive to run car. Bonus's with the Q2 include a cheaper insurance, road tax and London congestion charge exemption because of it's low emission engine! :) A belter of a little car, or not so little depending on your view...

I have had a Q2 Sport for just under a year and although I find the ride a little firm overall I would recommend it as it is lovely to drive and full of great technology.

"The T-Roc is better in every department, that's why I choose the Q2"

I have driven both. The VW feels slower off the mark and less dynamic when it comes handling, the handling on the Q2 40 TFSI is superb and feels like a true hot hatch. The interior on the Q2 feels and looks fancier, the multimedia system is non touch screen though, but I personally like that, since I don't like using touch while driving, just feels unsafe. The VW has the more sophisticated exterior from the front IMHO, but the Q2 with a black grill matches it in this respect. I ended up getting the Q2 and I absolutely love the drive, what did surprise me though is it consumes up to 50% more fuel than the claimed 6.5L when driving in the suburbs, you're realistically looking at 9.4L/100 if not higher, they really should force car manufacturers to perform more realistic fuel consumption tests.

I'm really liking the recent videos! However, I would really like more reviews of smaller cars

I couldn't care less about scratchy plastic, it's all good to me!

I love our T Roc. Made one mistake though, could have ordered the key fob auto open /close hatch/boot for £300, it requires a firm pull to close without and it’s the only thing we regret not ordering. To aftermarket fit one is £1200 so if you dithering over the options, do order the remote close. You won’t regret it.👌

T-Roc exterior looks so much better. Q2 interior looks so much better. I will go with Kia Sportage for that price.

The Q2 actually looks good in this spec. The rims also do the trick. Too bad I already saw way too many entry level ones that looked really awkward..

Q2 is more aggressive and feels more comfy to be in :)

T-Roc for me out of those two! Plus I can’t ever remember getting in any car and scratching or banging the dash board? So for me it’s not enough of a reason to go for an A2 instead! Good review though

For the adventure of climbing the hypermarket parking.

I can't wait for this T ROC to arrive to Australia I'm certainly going to buy it..

Yes Matt hope there was the options at the end though

Unfortunately the Q2 still has that ye olde pop up screen in the centre of the dash. Except that it doesn't pop up, or down - it fixed. Why are car reviewer obsessed with hard plastics in cars. When was the last time anyone stroked the top of the their dash.

The TRoc R looks good. Here in France ‘troc’ means bartar or exchange like a jumble sale or other second hand goods depot. 🤣. Maybe i will wait for a ‘troc troc r’

Engraçado q as lanternas traseiras do Q2 lembram muito mais o Pólo do as do TRoc!

I would pick the Audi Q2 because of its funky and exceptional design without the fake exhaust tips, has a great interior ergonomics with easy-to-use controls and engaging to drive over the Volkswagen.

Are those red brake callipers on a VW T-Roc?

We are cross shopping the T-Cross with the CrosslandX and Seat Arona - Mrs M wants good visibility as the No 1 and ease of driving in traffic as No 2 (so good tech) have you some guidance or opinions having driven them all please?

Hi can anyone please tell me when this test was filmed 🤨

have the same colour q2. Really love it.

I personally like the VW more

I think I prefer the VW, has a classier look IMO

Love the T Roc

yes Mat been waiting for a notification all day

Thank you for the info I was wondering to go for Audi q2 or Seat Leon

T-Roc for me thank you.

Did Mat cover the horsepower and engine options of each car or did I miss it in the video?

Mat, I just want to say Thank You for all the car reviews over the years, your in a league of your own. 👍

I am liking t roc more than q2 and also loving the design of it

Do a video where you compare these 2, Seat Arona and the Kia Stonic please! Off road Tests included

How would you compare the new skoda kamiq to those two?

As always a great review of both cars. That’s really helped me make my mind up. It’s the Audi!

Just be decent and reasonable and get a VW Golf or an Audi A3.

Which is better, not which is best.

both look alright on the outside but I'd take Q2 for the interior

something wrong with the audio, please check it out and in next videos fix it, thank you

A small suggestion, the reality is the majority of the time you'll see a car is when you're driving, usually behind it, so in future focus a bit more on the rear view of the vehicle.

T-Roc with an R-Line trim and I am happy.

For ones who says quality of the dash is unimportant: The difference comes in after long years of usage especially in sunny regions. Plastic dash simply looks like a trash while a high quality soft dashs look just like new.

Q2 edition 1 is awesome

When did you record this video? Gloves and beanie in September :D Freakin UK

Tiguan 2.0 4motion. Best option for price/quality/space/tech.

The whole scratchy dashboard thing. Its nice to have soft touch materials, but at the end of the day, who cares... you dont spend all day prodding the dash..

Which one is the most comfortable Matt? And which one is the quietest? I appreciate that you have to talk about handling, but when city speed limits are dropping to 20mph, I don't really care!

I maintain, for a car to be good looking, it has to look good with small wheels. The q2 doesn't

Soft touch materials are nice but honestly how often do you hop into the car and feel the top of the dash? The doors and center console get more action then the dash ever does thats where the plush feeling plastic should be in my opinion

People buy an suv because they don't want sporty hard rides, stop reviewing cars like they're sports cars people want comfort

We have a Blue Sparkly Q2 and got it when it first came out and it's S line

Thanks for another excellent review

I'm pretty sure you could store the parcel shelves of both cars behind the rear seats, just like on some Skodas. Not all parcel shelves go under the false floor. Designers try different solutions.

I agree the T-Roc can't have nasty plastics costing more than 20k. Different story when it comes to the Golf, especially R-Line Golf vs S-Line A3. Imo much much better interior and exterior of the Golf. Well, we own both cars in our family and the Golf also drives better, and that's logical given that it's the jewel in the VW crown. Unless badge snobing is important to you, there's no point in buying higher spec A3. I also do agree lesser specs version of Golf look worse than A3 lesser versions.

I have had the q2 for almost a year and I am in no hurry to get rid of it!!! That's not just because it's on a 3 yr finance plan 🤔🙄😉

exterior vw wins . Interior Audi wins . But there is no clear winner here imo . Audi q2 is more like a lifestyle car rather than practical .

The T-Rocs interiour is laughably bad imo. I have sat in one a couple of days ago that was specced up to 46k€, but the inside felt cheaper than any Mk8 Fiesta. I always liked VW interiours for their minimalist design with high quality materials (for the class), but some of the latest models are just terrible.

How old is the tech underneath this car, if you still have to put the key in the ignition and turn it to start the car?

I'll take the upcoming Lexus UX ;) Hybrid/AWD

Do a Q2 and A3 SB Comparison!!

Hello mat love you bro nothing to be more said its fabulous Without any lade its fantastic So wistful Omnipotent god bless you man

can you get the Q2 with quattro?

The troc is better! I’m very indecisive and have been figuring out which one to buy for a very long time. The Q2 entry level is very cheap looking the exterior and interior n I’m a massive Audi fan so was disappointed to find it’s only worth getting the sports upwards not technik The Troc is more solid n even at entry level looks great. Also worth to know that troc even at entry level drives exactly the same as the higher specs as it’s just the look that slightly changes with trim etc not the drive. I’d go for a 1.5

Not bad but I'd rather have an A3 or a Golf to be honest.

Can you guys do a video about the 2019 mercedes benz gle

The point of the downgraded interior seems to be lost on many. The T Roc is a barge created for the Mum and the school run , the brats are occupying the other seats....well kicking the Hell out of them, spilling their drinks, treading sweets into the fabric of the seat and carpets . It was never intended to be luxury only practicality !

Some crossovers (SUV seems a bit rich) look good, but for the same (or less) money, you could potentially get a higher specification model of the hatchback it's based upon with better interior, better handling and better fuel consumption. Admittedly, you lose a bit of interior space and ground clearance (and possibly a better view), but even if you have 4WD (not that their hatchback equivalents don't, especially in Audi's case), who's going to take them off-road anyway? Perhaps people like the idea of sitting higher up, or being able to lord it over other drivers.

I bought a 3 year old q2 diesel automatic - great car, 62mpg, never going to get a speeding ticket, dead quiet inside, great on the motorway. Perfect city car I think, its a shame Audi have decided to delete the Q2, id have thought that it was a huge seller, I've seen tons of them on the roads

T-Roc for me.. I mean a lot of plus points here.

Is there really no space, under the boot flore, to store the luggage compartment cover?

The T-ROC is a better buy and looks better as well

Saying t-roc is more practical because the boot is bigger... Of course: it's longer overall!

I only recently realized my car had soft-touch plastics on the dash, never felt the need to touch before watching Car Wow vids, is it that big a deal on a basic car?

These two cars share the same MQB platform. So differences are in equipment and luxury material.

That TRoc interior quality is just shocking. Welcome to 1985 😳

I honestly don't think the Q2/Q3/A3 interiors are all that nice? In the bigger Audi's for sure they're really comfortable but I don't know how a soft touch dash makes the Q2 suddenly nicer than the T-Roc. Neither particularly exciting though!

I was thinking 🤔 about getting a SUV but then realized that everyone is getting one, I’ll be getting a Hatchback instead!

review the T-Roc R

şu direksiyondan kaçmilyontane ürettiler çok merak ediyorum hala aynı

3:08 dude your hand is bleeding.

Missed these videos

The T-Roc looks "exciting" on the outside and the Q2 feels "special" on the inside??? What next?

On the VW the rear doors have an even cheaper finish than the front ones. Why? Another interesting review from Mat though.

What is the brand of shirt that matt is wearing?

The interior of Q2...Its fantastic,sporty and youth design at the same time,Audi for me,for exterior..funny,VW looks better at front ,hehe

I have ben in both cars and the Q2 feels cheaper

both had same size tires? Maybe that contributed to sharper fiel..?

I don't care about the hard plastic as long as it has a good Infotainment system and comfy seats

Thanks!

T-Roc by far for me, VW did a good job.

I wish we could get these here in my country. We don't get cool cars. They don't even sell the current Micra here. We still get the old one XD

Thanks Mat.

How good is the 4 wheel drive on these 2 SUVs

The T-Roc is the better-looking for sure ...

Does it really matter about the "scratchy" cabin plastic material on the VW T-Roc upfront? For vehicles around the 20k - 25k price range what you expecting? You get what you pay for brand new.
