Re: What do you think of the new Q3?

I am changing from the Q3 to the XC40, it will be more expensive than the XC40 and not so well equipped as standard, plus you will have a similar wait as with the XC40. Have had my fill of the VW/Audi brand after eleven years with them. Taff you are very wise, long story VWG have real issues with t...

Re: Voice Commands

top off dash Clip location at each end

XC40 Inscription Great car really pleased but does take some getting used to, the voice control button little erratic. Elexa wants to do her own thing.


Does anyone know what the Clip retain, at each end on top off the dash do! we think for some sort or sun screen.

Many Thanks

Hi just placed a order for XC40 T3 reading various reviews some have commented on power etc, As a 66 Year Driver my days at Santa pod are over, ...

Re: Confused about which xc40 to go for

AM looking to get a new/nearly-new car later this year (for the long term) and really like the look of the xc40 but a couple of things are making me hesitate 1. I would like to go for the first edition model (1 year old) but they seem to be holding their value really well so no great deals 2. I hav...
