Re: Would You Buy Another

Good question. Yes. Last year at the end of my cars third year, I explored a new one. Exact specification but with the addition of a tow bar and sunroof. However, I was disappointed to discover that the new XC40s no longer has four wheel drive? A mistake by Volvo. Then I looked at an XC60, but with ...

The original is starting to fade after 3 years. Still have the XC40 T5, 24k miles and still delighted with it.

Re: Wash, Polish and Wax

Hello Roy, I would apply a good quality wax as soon as possible. But there would be no need to Polish for the first year.
