The VW T-Cross is spacious and good to drive (although the Ford Puma is more fun), but if you're looking at top-of-the-range versions, we'd recommend considering the more sophisticated VW T-Roc instead. The T-Cross makes most sense with the 1.0 TSI 95 petrol engine in mid-range Black Edition spec.

This is all you'll probably need. It isn't as nippy as a Ford Puma 1.0 Ecoboost MHEV buts still hits 0-62mph in a claimed 10.8sec and serves up enough performance from low revs to avoid you having to thrash the engine. You don't even miss the absence of a sixth gear – this engine and the 1.6 TDI diesel are the only versions of the T-Cross with a five-speed manual gearbox.
