T-Cross vs Polo delivery times

[arkay]

I was thinking about buying a Polo SEL last year but was put off by the long delivery times. I had heard about the T-Cross being released in early 2019 and have been monitoring the situation. I ordered an SEL T-Cross with a few extras on 7th March and it is being built week 16 I.e. week beginning 15th April with delivery 4 weeks later. That’s 10/11 weeks from order to delivery. It is built in Pamplona so no long sea trip to get here.
Yes, it is a little bit more expensive but is very well equipped. It is only a few cm longer than the Polo but bigger inside with a bigger boot. Surprisingly VW are offering £1000 towards deposit on PCP. Maybe worth considering if you don’t want a long wait? No use if you want a GTi though!

not sure about Uk prices but tcross style with 1.0tsi cost 499 000 czech crows and polo GTI cost 534 000 ... that is more than just "expensive" in my country

I've ordered a Polo R line back in December 2018. I was told yesterday that lead times for the R-line polo are sitting at 18 months!!!! So going to be going into the dealership to see what they can do to offer me an alternative vehicle and maybe the T-cross R line.

A T-cross with the 1.0Tsi engine must be horrific.
Even if it's the 115bhp version, it's going to be even slower than a Polo because of the greater weight and height (worse aerodynamics).
Avoid like the plague.

EDIT - I've just read it comes with the 95bhp engine too.....dear lord.....

Thanks Andy Beats for posting your opinion about the 115PS T-Cross. I made sure I had a long test drive in an Arona with the same engine. It drove very well - smooth and quite responsive. Yes it is best to keep the revs above 2000 to make good progress. I expect the T-Cross to be no different. I think ‘horrific’ is a bit extreme without trying it. There have been quite a few reviews/videos of the T-Cross now that it has been released on the continent and the general view is very positive.
