Re: Order in: new owner coming from a Tiguan
I changed from an AWD Tiguan 180 D to an XC40 AWD 180 D two and half tears ago. Very happy with the change as i love the looks and comfort of the XC40. initially mpg was worse but now I am approaching 30k miles it has improved from mid 30s at first to touching 50 mpg which beats the Tiguan hands dow...

Re: Faults - Worried!
Can only reiterate what others have said no serious problem in 2 and a half years and 25,000 miles. Once the boot started opening by itself when locked but Volvo Assist sorted it by oiling catch and no problems since.

Re: Cost of second maintenance of XC40
Just shows what a bargain the 3 year service plan at £399 was. So glad I bought it as 2 services down and haven't paid a penny including for Ad Blu. Shame the last one is next April but I will probably change car before a paid service comes due.

Re: Confused new owner!
I came from a Tiguan too but an SEL with standard suspension to a D4 R design with sports suspension. Didn't notice a lot of difference but then it was from standard to sport suspension not the other way round. Possibly the Tiguan was a little firmer ride but not had any issues with my R Design. I d...

Re: Service Plan
I mentioned it to my dealer and they seemed to expect this. Also I asked when I bought it and salesman said OK if done before 3rd anniversary.

Re: T3,T4,T5 engine oil
I have never had to top up my XC40 and come to that none of my last three cars either. I'd save my money if I was you.

Re: Driving with the boot open?
No direct experience. However my garage in a block is away from where I park and I quite often unload fishing tackle in to garage in dark and forget to close boot when I drive round to house. No adverse affects but its only about 2/300 yds and I'm only doing 5 mph or so. No bongs either. Mind you it...

Re: An end to dealerships
That's the rub. I've no problem with ordering on line if I have seen and test driven the car. What I really object to is a Tesla/Polestar approach where there are set prices and no discounts and no negotiation even on part exchange. I can see why Volvo want to do it - no discounts equals bigger prof...

Re: Wheels 19 or 20 inch
I meant 19s! 18s weren't an option on R Design when I bought mine.
