*Cons:* 40L tank is small, rear space tight, DSG needs servicing, 1.0L feels slow with full load

*1.0 vs 1.5:* 1.0 TSI is perfect for fuel and city. 1.5 R-Line is much quicker and feels more premium.

*T-Cross vs Polo:* Same platform. T-Cross has higher seating and 377L boot vs 350L on Polo, but uses slightly more fuel.

*Things to check when buying:*
1. *DSG service* - 60,000km oil change
2. *Turbo* - check for boost leaks
3. *Service history* - 15,000km intervals
4. *Digital cluster* - check for pixel issues

The 1.0 TSI Comfortline is the sweet spot. R-Line if you want the looks + power.

Comparing to the Jolion you asked about earlier: T-Cross is smaller 377L vs 337L boot but more refined, better resale. Jolion has more features for the money.
