The June 2019 20% discount code of PURE20 ends tomorrow though.
Hope the Garmin 55 Plus will be a neat install as shown in the earlier photo.

Re: BLIS with steer assist

I find the BLIS on my XC40 very poor for picking up approaching/overtaking motorcycles , scooters, mopeds and cyclists. The BLIS on my old XC60 was much better with a single orange light inside the car. Having to get used to the mirror arc of orange lights and take extra care to look out for overtak...

Re: Cup holder size / recommendations?

Please be aware the depth of the cup holder is only about 60 mm so stability of a tall bottle could be an issue The tops of two 300 mm tall bottles in the holders will be almost aligned with the bottom of the centre...

MY19 Pine Grey XC40 T4 Inscription Pro AWD Auto,

Had a test drive in a T5 FE last March and loved it.
Went away and played with the build configurator and preferred a Pine Grey Inscription Pro.
Drove it out of the showroom last Wednesday.
