ticktack blinker with a will of its own

anyone else with a blinker that has developed its own rythym? the ticktack sound you hear when you put the blinkers on when turning left or right.

Re: Reversing Camera

I agree Nitrama it is not good enough. I tend to look over my shoulders and use my mirrors more than in my previous cars. The Lexus i had used a wide angle camera with considerable more clarity if that makes sense. You could even see next to the car. Volvo could use a better camera indeed.

Re: What petrol engine should I choose T3,T4 or T5

it is Trev. I am driving a T4 Rdesign with 20'wheels, white lovely car. My previous car was a Lexus IS300h and before that several BMWś Audi Saab and Lexus. If you can afford it go for the T5 you will never regret it as it is a real hot hatch! However the T4 is a great compromise. It feels light on ...

Re: What do you think of the new Q3?

i find it a big improvement on the old Q3. the design is much more balanced and it looks like a stylish premium vehicle. If specced with the electronic cockpit the interior is simply beautiful. Yes i see this as a serious competitor to the Xc40. Would i go for one? propably not as in my opinion the ...

Re: Newly ordered XC40...but being tempted by Q5

If you are talking about the latest model Q5 and with a decent engine and kit it would be a no brainer for me as it will be a step up compared to the XC40. If its the old model Q5 then dont bother. I like my XCT4 R design, like the styling, overall package, excellent chassis and for a SUV the compac...

Re: Stupid Sat Nav

Coming from a Lexus i find the XC40 satnav a vast improvement! ( propably tells more about the lexus systems...). i always use voicecontrol entering an address always works fine. Pronounciation ( in Dutch) is fine as well. I do agree a rotary controller is more user friendly than a touch screen but ...
