Cons Is a fast crossover, scratchy interior plastics, droney noise
The Volkswagen T-Roc R blends the decent practicality of the regular T-Roc with bombastic performance and stunning agility. It’s a lot more fun than similarly priced rivals, so one of the best sports SUVs on sale.
Pros Thrilling handling Strong and flexible engine Well equipped
Cons Cheap-feeling interior Some road noise Not the roomiest
If you like the Golf R and don’t mind SUVs, you’ll probably like the Volkswagen T-Roc R too.
