Re: Any former V40 owners here?

I had a V40 2.0 R-Design for two years before trading up to an XC40, both models are petrol & manual. The XC40 for me is a much smoother ride and engine noise quieter with a better ride height with greater technology. I loved my V40 and would still have it if Volvo hadn't brought the XC40 out, d...

Re: First Year Service

Not sure what finance you took out but if the finance was through Volvo then you should get the servicing free.

Re: Can't wait to get rid

I know people talk about their problems on forums (and not so much about the good stuff) but I'm getting a bit scared when reading all this (and other subjects) regarding the XC40 my wife has ordered. On receiving the car I will look for visible problems and make reservations if so but the main pro...

Re: Yes!

That looks superb, meaty alloys, the colour gleams and love the chrome finish along the side, is that part of the all round kit.

Re: Retailer/Dealership in Kent for a XC40

I brought my XC40 from Alan at this dealership and have had no problems at all, although it took six months for the car to arrive (and well worth the wait) contacted me with updates or called me back or emailed me when required. I have also been going to this dealership for around 20 years and have ...

Re: Heated rear seats

I don't believe that's correct, when the back seats are heated they are as warm as the fronts and even the middle person if you have five in the car can still fill the heat, perhaps get this checked out, there maybe a lose connection somewhere, hope this helps.

Re: Dealer or independant

If you take out the Volvo finance then you will automatically get the three years servicing, then as long as the dealer services the vehicle you will get free breakdown cover which includes Europe and of course Volvo updates. The three year on call is standard on XC40's and believe it is £39 a year ...
