In this episode, Savagegeese takes another look at the 2024 VW Ta, now equipped with all-wheel drive and some mechanical enhancements. Previously unimpressed with Volkswagen's lackluster offerings, the team dives into the Ta's updated features. They commend the Ta for its mature and understated exterior design, standing out from the overly styled competition. Inside, the Ta impresses with its user-friendly physical controls, spacious layout, and thoughtful design elements, making it a practical choice for families.

Behind the wheel, the all-wheel drive variant of the Ta shines with its independent rear suspension and dual-clutch transmission, promising a more dynamic driving experience. Testing its performance, the team notes improvements in handling and stability, especially in challenging weather conditions. However, they find the transmission to be a mixed bag, with some delays and jerky behavior, dampening the overall driving experience. Despite this, the Ta is praised for its refinement and spacious interior, offering a compelling option in the crowded compact SUV segment.

Comparing the Ta to its competitors like the HRV, Kona, and Compass, the team acknowledges its unique blend of German styling and practicality. While the Ta may not be the most exciting choice in its class, it stands out for its cohesive design, usability, and family-friendly features. For those seeking a reliable and understated SUV with solid performance and ample space, the VW Ta with all-wheel drive proves to be a worthy contender.

Mini Countryman Review: Pricing, Features, and Performance Analysis

Savagegeese reviews the Mini Countryman, starting at $38,000. The John Cooper Works model, priced over $52,000, offers more power and unique features. Despite its customizable exterior and interior, the car falls short in practicality. Issues include a reflective plexiglass HUD, a laggy infotainment system, and a rough stop-start mechanism. The Mini Countryman JCW, a larger SUV, shares similarities with BMW X1/X2. The JCW variant boasts optimized engine components, wider wheels, and enhanced braking. During the test drive, the team praises the car's power and all-wheel-drive performance but criticizes its narrow power band and abrupt stop-start system. Despite lacking adaptive dampers, the Mini Countryman JCW impresses with its engine and handling. The car's unique character and customization options may appeal to those seeking a distinctive SUV experience.
