Re: Speeding summons

I now use the speed limiter on my new XC40, just found it actually reads the speed signs when set and means you cant exceed the speed limit. Been on one speed awareness course which still cost me £110 but no points on the licence, Dont want to go on another as well as the cost. 34MPH in a 30 mph are...

Re: Satnav & Speed Limits

Had our XC40 since June and have noticed it consistently displays incorrect speed limit sign. Not a serious problem but very annoying. Also run a Nissan Qashqui and this displays all speed limit sign changes 100% accurate. Not been back to dealer for any checks as yet but will request this is looked...

Re: Tyre pressure preferences

Have left pressures as set and no problems with the ride quality, not as harsh as some vehicles. Ride comfort is excellent in my opinion.

Just done 1100 miles in T3 Auto R design showing average of 37 MPG. Steady 50 mph had average of around the 45mpg mark.
Do love the car. A pleasure to drive. Cheers Sandy.

Re: Opinions on the T3 geartronic

Had our T3 geartronic for 3 weeks and agree with all the comments. I always switch off the stop start and the auto brake, Find the auto brake a real pain if it accidentally gets turned on. The engine is very smooth and although not yet used its full rev band it really pulls well and certainly no slo...

Re: Thinking about the XC40 - issues?

I live in East Yorkshire , bought our XC40 T3 auto R design Pro from Stoneacre in Grimsby. Just had it 2weeks and love it.
Make sure you get a quote from them. I got a great deal and they where very pleasant to deal with. Tried to buy from Chapman's at York and wouldn't recommend.

Re: XC40 T3 Geartronic

Picked up our T3 auto at lunchtime today. Like you was unable to get a test drive in one. Just done 50 miles on our drive home and first impressions are really good. Our trade in vehicle was an auto Quashki which had the rubber band auto system. The Volvo transmission is a vast improvement on that. ...

Re: XC40 T3 Geartronic

Ours was due for collection tomorrow, Thursday, but didn't arrive in time so like you collection Saturday. Chose Crystal white metallic. Saw it at another dealer's and wife fell in love with it. Wonder if we are collecting from the same dealer? Probably not the thing to do mentioning dealer names.

Just hope its all there when i collect it on Thursday. Salesman did initially quote around 4 to 6 weeks de...
