Re: MPG - Again :-)

Surprised at the difference from T4 to T5. My display average is around 28 at the moment. Obviously with a lot of motorway it goes up but I didn't reset it for Cornwall the other day. I certainly don't think my general work commute, probably having 20-30 miles of motorways is getting anywhere near ...

Re: MPG - Again :-)

I’ve had my T4 AWD for around 7 months now, and 16,500 miles in, I’m averaging 33/4mpg, mainly over a mixture of Motorways, Country lanes and City... with a not so light right foot and cruising at around 80 - 95 mph on the motorway depending on traffic. When driving specifically around town I’m only...

Re: Just ordered my new Volvo

I’ve got a AWD T4 R-Design Pro. I test drove the T4 Inscription before I ordered mine, and it’s slightly softer through the bends than the R-Design’s, but honestly around town, there’s no noticeable difference. T4 Engine is a lot more responsive than the T3 (I also drove a T3 Manual) and it is very,...

Re: HEADLIGHTS

I’ll try this tomorrow, thanks you. With every other car I’ve driven, the lights come on with the wipers irrespective if I’m using the Auto wiper mode. I've had Volvo, Ford, Vauxhall, Mercedes and VW... None of their lights come on in the rain unless the wipers are also on too... That’s what I mean...

Re: HEADLIGHTS

Thanks guys.
I’m just not using the Auto headlight function anymore. I’ll just use them manually. First world problems, eh? 😂😂 :lol:

HEADLIGHTS

Picked up my XC40 in June. However, as the weather has started to turn and the days are getting shorter, I’ve noticed a couple of things with the headlights. 1. I don’t think they’re bright enough... compared to my wife’s old car (a 2016 Honda HR-V) and my other car (a Audi S5) they’re nowhere near ...

Re: What car are you changing from?

I came from a gutless 2016 Honda HR-V 1.5. Had my XC40 a few months now and loving it so far. It’s an upgrade in every way from the Honda, apart from one thing I’ve noticed as the nights are drawing in... the headlights (Active Bending LED’s as part of the Pro pack) are nowhere near as bright as my ...

Re: Delivery Date

Yeah, I got told the exact same thing, dealer had allocated the cars but could tweak spec/colours. I just don’t want to be waiting as long as 9 months for mine, as some people have been waiting for that long with their cars! Hopefully it won’t be pushed back any further than June. Dealer called earl...

Re: Delivery Date (help!)

Hi guys... I know I’m very late here, but I ordered my XC40 yesterday (17/02/19) and my dealer said to expect delivery on the 26/04/19 (ambitious I know). Today they called me back, saying delivery won’t be until mid June now. After reading through these posts, I’m getting worried now. I’m just wond...
