Re: Market Research

Have just been invited by a marketing company working for Volvo to attend an event to provide feedback on my XC40. They are paying me £100 plus expenses to " take part in a 1.5 hour face to face discussion about the XC40 (including a short drive-out), where you will be given the opportunity to...

Re: MPG - Again :-)

I cant get more than 34mpg even on a 100mls + run, even with eco and driving like a saint, its hopefully going in for a 3 mth check in a few days i'll see what they say about the mpg. Not impressed after 2500miles expected it to improve, Fortunately the rest of the cars overall performance makes up...

Re: Delay compensation/car lease

While I appreciate your frustrations, your new XC40 will be depreciating at alot more than £199 a month when you get it - so to be mobile for that cost is very attractive. Its a max £25 every three months to change insurance so another £8 per month. You have a £35k car on order. Its small change in...

Re: Delay compensation/car lease

I also don't see why I should be out of pocket because my car has been delayed from September to December. My dealership told me that they have a finite number of V40s available (so I would have to request one yesterday pretty much) to XC40 customers which would cost £199 a month and do not include...

To be fair it's only described as a "Steel Safety Grille"
I know, had one in a previous XC70 - did the job but got sick of cleaning the boot out!!

Re: Still after a boot dog cage

But it doesnt keep the dog off the rest of the boot / windows and perhaps more importantly, doesnt allow you to raise the boot without the dog being able to escape - not ideal if you get an issue by a fast flowing road. I have a fold down cage from Pets at Home which keeps dog safe and allows me to ...

Re: Delivery Date

...and it's at the dealership! 20 inchers and headlamp washers intact. Dealer is adamant that it is a FE but it's all about the V5C now... ...now where's that snaglist on here to send to them. Picking it up tomorrow! Have you had the V5C yet? Not such a stupid question as I received mine from DVLA ...
