Taigun cooling is not great even in bbay conditions. If i keep 24 on Troc I have to keep 22-21 on Taigun & it still doesnt cool as fast.

Re: New VW Taigun GT Plus or Pre-owned VW T-Roc?

Own neither but I'd avoid any one-off CBU's from VAG and especially from VW. VW is nor highly regarded for supporting either premium vehicles or one-off imports. The risk lies in unique mechanical components and/or body panels and glass items and/or the technical expertise to diagnose and resolve the more rare issues.

Anecdotally, many Passat owners are unhappy with VW for their long-term support. GTI owners are jittery too as most of them have reached the end of their extended warranties.

I'd say play safe and stick to the Taigun instead of a T-Roc.

Thanks for your recommendation.

The only wild card entry that I have in my mind apart from Taigun gt plus is a pre-owned BMW 320d m sport (2017); however, I'm skeptical as I have never owned a pre-owned car and a brand new one is out of my budget. What are your thoughts on that?

Hello BHPains,

I've come across information stating that some users have reported the SOS warning error appearing on the 2019/2020 model, causing the T-Roc to behave strangely. Have any of you experienced this issue?
