I have ordered/received my new T-Roc

[GoingPlaces]

Congrats, GoingPlaces!

I’ve driven the 140TSI and it was a bloody decent drive, almost as fun as my 2019 Golf GTI. Surprised the hell out of me.

The 110 engine is a ripper too, you’ll love it.

Didn’t allow myself to try out the 140! Haha, I need the better fuel efficiency of the 110 since I’ll be driving it to work everyday

You’ll get amazing efficiency out of the 110. Previously I had a 1.4 Golf 92TSI manual and regularly got mid 4s L/100km on the highway!

Well bit the bullet and ordered one .... 2021 build, MY21, Silver/White with the questionable leather colour and both option packs ...... delivery optimistically in late April.

The drive sealed it, ....and I will wear dark glasses for the seats.

The Beat's sound is just "OK" .... might need some door deadening and a speaker swap at sometime but at least it is cabled.

Did your car arrive? Enjoying it?

Toying with the idea of swapping out my ‘19 Golf GTI for a 140, for the better ride comfort (getting old lol)

Yes, just .... delivered on Wed pm just before Easter, but the weather has been so miserable have only done one trip up the Sunshine Coast and back.

A reserved .... love it ! ..... but early days of course, great to drive, could be a little noisy on the hwy (Tyres ?), love all the tech, and can't see the naff looking leather seats from the drivers seat while driving Wireless Apple Carplay with Waze is great

Not so sure about all the fuss over the hard plastics .... bit of a non issue if you ask me.


Plenty of go, glad I didn't wait for the R, steering could be a little light, hopefully there is a setting where this can be adjusted

Beats Audio is much better than I expected, can get harsh in the higher frequencies, lets see if the speakers loosen up or some surgery maybe required, playing FLAC as source.

Love the Silver/White colour looks classy, but the better half still want to change the colour of the roof .... do I have a choice ....

Hahahaha you don’t have a choice, no.

Great feedback, thanks! Does it have plenty of go? Are the seats/ride quality comfortable?

Yes very happy with the go, but very early days as not pushing it too hard with on less than 200klm on the clock still, .....my other drive toy is a Boxster S.

Seats Ok/good . no electric adjustment, would probably have liked some additional side bolstering for the corners, as leather is not overly grippy, but comfortable, with adjustable lumbar support (in mine at least)

A reserved .... love it ! ..... but early days of course

This makes me so excited to get mine!

Just picked up a Ravenna Blue 140 TSI with luxury pack and sound & style pack today.
Observations - coming out of a Golf 7.5 R-Line I find the T-Roc a level or two below in quality.
The new MIB3 with wireless app connect is a plus but I feel the whole Discover MIB3 system is under par with the Discover Pro from the Golf.
Maps missing speed limits.
Beats audio sounds terrible. Like its on AM radio.
Owner configurations are limited.
Brake callipers no longer painted.
Hard plastic everywhere, particularly the back seat.
Wow cheap plastic and poor fitting parts everywhere under the bonnet.

Positives - It drives well, can't wait for it to loosen up to really try it.

If you're spending that kind of money on a car, it’s always worth double-checking where you can save on extra costs like registration. I know a few people who’ve looked into alternative vehicle registration options to lower taxes, especially for classic or high-value cars. Depending on the state, some registration fees and taxes can really add up.


For classic car registration, Montana is a popular choice since there’s no sales tax on vehicle purchases. It can be a smart way to keep costs down while still getting everything legally set up. You can check out more details on that here: Classic Car Registration - Start registration and Save

Can you provide some more context, because this statement of yours is quite vague and these cars are neither high value nor classic.
