Re: Volvos Diabolical handling of the XC40 fiasco

I went through exactly the same process over the last couple of weeks, Marketry. Originally was going to go for Q2 back in March, tried the XC40 and and my mind was immediately made up - felt immediately confident in ordering my XC40. With all the delays (still no date for my T5 FE, hopefully some ...

Re: Volvos Diabolical handling of the XC40 fiasco

I'm cancelling next week if I don't get a firm delivery date. Spoke to the dealer today and was advised they were expecting a communication from Volvo on Tuesday. If no communication arrives or it's of no value I'm going to get an alternative vehicle. Current contenders are BMW X2, Audi Q2 or Mini ...

Re: Delivery Date

My dealer mentioned the bridging scheme to me last week as an option Basically they are registering a load of v40’ s to rent to those waiting without a car impacted by the delay We are waiting to find out the cost of this but was told it would be ‘cheap’...... I’m not entirely happy that I have to ...

Re: Delivery Date

Wow....that’s quite an insightful document. I’m amazed they shared that. Looks like they totally misjudged which variants would sell. I wonder if r-design would sell quite so well if it wasn’t for the black roof? I went for the R-Design for the colour! If they'd made colours available across the ra...

Re: Accessory or not?

The article seems to date from September 2017. Perhaps back then a demo car had this insert, but it didn't make it into production? Seen no sign of it anywhere else. Good idea though. I didn't actually check the date of the article... I've not seen it anywhere else either. Strange. It sure would st...

Accessory or not?

I've just seen this photo on "driving.ca" so Canadian I'm guessing?

Is that an accessory for the door panel does anybody know? Or do you reckon that's just how their doors are there, not sure why that would be because the US has empty ones just like we do...

Re: STILL haven't seen......

I saw one yesterday, it was in the distance and I had to turn off but those headlights are unmistakably Volvo and it had black mirrors and roof so could only have been the XC40. I just honed in on it even though it was about half a mile in front :lol:

Re: Insurance quotes

The best I've gotten so far is £600 which I thought was quite high... It's quite a bit more than I'm paying now as a 24 year old, 5 years no claims and I'm in the south east.

I won't know exactly what it'll be until my car arrives or I start seeing non-FE models around.

Re: XC40 R-Design Delay?

I went through Carwow and haven’t met my salesman. He emailed the forms straight after ordering. I test drove one near me but that dealer didn’t offer any discount. I got mine through CarFile, I had a great deal through Carwow from a dealership in Cardiff but I was just a little too late and the AP...

Re: Red Car warning light

Can anyone help identify what & why I occasionally get a red car warning light flash on at the top of the dashboard? Can't decide if i'm being over zealous with my right foot! 8-) Most likely the collision warning, I had a Mini Countryman that kept doing the same thing even on clear roads or wh...
