Re: Clarkson on Volvo

Just to add another data point, I’m a little over 40, live in London and work in tech. So two out of three 😀

Re: What irritates you about your Volvo XC 40?

Brake groan at low speed as already mentioned. And no matter how softly I brake there’s a very slight effect of being jolted forward just as the car comes to a complete stop.

Re: MY22?

XC40 my22 does not bring fog lights on any equipment line? Only with the extra Lightning? Looks that way. For example, fog lamps were standard on any version of R Design trim in MY21, but now are part of the Lighting pack for MY22 (not sure if they are an option on their own). You can see their rem...

Re: Upgrade older xc40 software with Android Auto from Recharge version

I suppose it’s similar with smart TVs. The screen will last for years and years but the underlying processor, amount of memory, etc. will start to date and eventually keeping the software running on it becomes uneconomical for the manufacturer to continue to support. The main selling point of the An...

Thanks, Rollo. Yes, good shout.

Think I might go down the used car route instead of buying new for now.

Re: MY22?

Hello. First time commenting but have been hanging around for a while. This forum is excellent and very informative. I’d been waiting for the MY22 update before deciding whether to splash out on a new XC40 (have been carless for a couple years - last car a V40). Must say I’m a little disappointed An...
