Thought I'd give a quick, & hopefully brief roundup on how my first month of T-Roc ownership has gone & with nigh on 1000 miles on the clock.
What I love:- smoothness, gadgets, looks (really does turn heads) reversing camera, talking text messages!
Anything broke? Well, I've had 2 'front sensor unavailable' (Or something similar) messages, cleared both times after a couple of minutes, both times was heavy rain. The near side mirrors has failed to reset after dipping for reversing a couple of times & finally the 'mode' button I noticed this morning was sticking in a bit.
Anything I don't like? Still haven't worked out if you can turn off the radio whilst leaving info screen on?? But main thing I dislike, and I know it's not unique in modern cars - why, oh why is there no green 'dipped beam on' light on the dash?? That really bugs me & I just can't bring myself to trust the auto lights in, for example, fog.
Mpg is about the same as my old Alfa (1.4) Giulietta at 38.5 ish.
Mooing rear brakes - no
Kangaroo - no, but you can almost, extremely faintly, feel the car wanting to when cold very occasionally. It just wouldn't have registered at all had I not been super sensitive to watching for the phenomenon every time I get in it because of this forum.
Well, that's about it. Car is back with my dealer tomorrow morning for it's one month check up. I'll mention the items I've listed above and let you all know what they say.
Overall verdict - one of the best cars I've owned, love it.
