Let me wander unhindered, after a respectable time ask if I want any help. Too much to ask?
There is a massive difference between ignoring you and hassling you - a lot of middle ground inbetween. Somehow they can’t seem to get it right!

To be honest we didn't test drive the T-Cross. It fitted what wife's needs and that was that. The sales guy was polite and attentive but gave us the space to look around and think about things without badgering us.
I've only ever test driven two cars, my D3 and the Toureg. The others I just ordered based on reviews or friends and colleagues recommendations. I didn't even test drive my current D4. I just flew to Edinburgh, met Navy Doc in a McDonalds, paid and drove home. New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

These people should be sales people, rather than shop assistants. Try asking “Can I help you?” And you’ll get the reply “No thanks, I’m just looking!” 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
