Re: Thoughts most welcome, potential new owner...

The biggest thing you’ll notice is the handling/body roll. It’s a 4x4 and doesn’t hide it well.

The T5 P* performance is quick, it puts a smile on your face (in dynamic mode) but don’t expect 35mpg, I average 25mpg with 95% comfort mode and 60% motorway mileage

Why do you want a 4x4?

Re: T5 AWD Fuel Economy - what are you getting?

I’m getting an average of 25mpg which I’m happy with, it’s about the same as my Touareg

Re: Rear View Camera

I wouldn’t bother. If you need to see the curb you can set the mirrors to dip when in reverse or just double tap the mirror selection button and it will dip the mirror

Re: First Year Service

Do you own the car? Are you planning on keeping it for a long time?

I can’t see a service from Halfords or anyone else being too different to Volvo IMHO. The oil will have to meet the specific requirement and the filters will be up to standard. £280 is excessive to say the least

Re: Double-tap gearshift

Doesn’t work for me, it requires a double tap.

It takes very little time to get used to it to be honest, I’ve had my car just over a week and it has become second nature
