Re: Poll time - Would you have paid to have a different colour?

I have been struggling with colour choices on the RD. My go-to is black, and I absolutely love it in black with the equivalent Mercedes 'night pack', but my current car is black and I've said for 3 years that I fancied a change, so have ended up with.....black!! I'm not a red or white person, I was...

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.

I set mine to the late setting after a couple of unnecesary activations but when it braked again when passing a van in a layby with a car coming the other way, neither of which were close, it gets turned off with the stop/start. I hate this kind of tech. Chris I hate the car driving for me, and am ...

Re: Volvo - An "old man's car" no more!?

First Volvo at 47.... always had them down as more of a farmer's car than an old man's car to be honest πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ but saw a very handsome, sporty version owned by a farmer's daughter in her 20s and I guess that's when my head was turned (about 5 years ago) Not sure how I came across the XC40, think it was ...

Re: R-Design or Inscription?

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Did you also get the leather seat? My last year RD-pro couldn't spec it but it is an option now. EnjoyπŸ€— No, I stuck with the standard seats. I wanted to try it for a change, as have really struggled with sitting on coals this summer when unable to find somewhere cool to park! I do love a leather...

Re: R-Design or Inscription?

Thank you all for your valuable input, and apologies if I opened a can of worms 😊 I understand this car isn't a sports car/toy, but whatever car I have, the main requisite is that I enjoy driving it. As I like a stiffer ride (ooh matron) and like to 'chuck it around a bit', the R-Design seems more s...

R-Design or Inscription?

Hi all. I have placed an order for a black onyx MY21 R-Design, but I don't know if I have made the right choice! I am tempted to go for the Inscription instead, as it has heated seats and (I believe) a reversing camera? I have a high spec on my current car and am a bit loathe to go backwards. I pref...
