Re: MPG - Again :-)

Took delivery of my T4 AWD R-Design yesterday and MPG is already a real concern. Just been out at lunchtime in town and it did 21 mpg, admittedly with lots of starting and stopping, but my previous BMW X3 - heavier, manual gearbox - would have beaten that. From other posts it seems like mpg will im...

Re: Safety feature oddities

I've had it on a couple of occasions which make sense, like above - in town, narrow, near parked cars. However, I also have had it on a couple of occasions where there appears to have been no reason - wide A road, no traffic, no obstacles as far as I could tell - very brief when it's happened, but ...

Re: MPG - Again :-)

My T4 has just gone over 1000 miles. 90% of my day to day driving has been shortish journeys in and around my local city to work (roughly a 20 mile round trip each day..start/stop in traffic) with not much chance at the moment for many long runs. Currently i'm on around 31.4 MPG using Eco Mode. I do...

Re: Getting Worried About Quality Control - Issues

I'm experiencing this issue, although its in the passenger compartment for right hand drive XC40. Just making notes of any niggles (keeping my dealer aware) and will request they are sorted at its 3 month check 1. Fuse box compartment on driver side just below gear stick on the side uses Velcro to k...

Re: XC40 T4 Inscription - Denim Blue

Sounds like we’ve chosen the same car DaveSig, other than diesel vs petrol. No doubt the Inscription looks great in denim blue. Have to admit I enjoyed the guys at our local hand car wash swooning over it when we popped in! Really pleased with the colour choice. The chrome extras that Inscription t...

Re: XC40 T4 Inscription - Denim Blue

Would love to see more pictures until we collect ours next week (same engine, same color, same trim level). The tinted windows look great. I regret not going with that option, but the dealer told us that the order would be delayed if we added that in (!?) Did you go for the white interior or black?...

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...
