Re: Base model XC40

Used would definitely be a possibility. I couldn’t buy a new T-Roc after driving the Volvo

Re: Base model XC40

OK thanks for the information You’d have thought with modern production methods it would be possible. It seems Volvo don’t want too much love bestowed on their lead-in VX40 model No discounts, doesn’t qualify for their zero APR HP offer, no decent PCP offers due to poor MGFV, can’t specify a sun roo...

Re: Base model XC40

Yep, it certainly had every option. I liked the satnav display in the instrument console and the electric drivers seat.
But it was out of our league price wise.
I wonder if you can get the sunroof on the base model?

Re: Base model XC40

Well, we test drove the VX40 today and both liked it. It was the auto version and we would probably go for the manual. The car has an air of quality even after test driving a used Evoque HSE which was also nice. The salesperson was very nice, in fact probably the best experience we’ve had in a car d...

Re: Safe speed for operating the sunroof

We test drove a VX40 today. The panoramic roof was fabulous, the best option to have in my opinion

Re: Start/Stop

We had a VW Up GTi and the start/stop was completely random in that. Sometimes it worked, sometimes an “X” appeared on the dash display along with “start/stop not available” Apparently it’s sensitive to electrical loading, and might not work if you are using the HRW and heated seats, for instance. T...

Re: Can't wait to get rid

Well with the HK system it should be OK My guess is you have a faulty speaker. Test the speakers one at a time to narrow down where the problem is. For instance set the fader to front, then the balance to left, to test the left front speaker. There may be a centre speaker or a sub which will make it...

Re: Can't wait to get rid

It’s just too much for the speakers. The “air woofer” it’s using for bass is not an actual speaker, it’s a chamber with a Rubber diaphragm in it. Some HI-FI speakers use a secondary diaphragm to increase the bass. Better speakers will cure it or turn down the bass. You don’t even need to change all ...
