Re: Apple CarPlay

We also have CarPlay on our current Tiguan, only really used it for maps when in Europe via Google as the VW nav in France chose some odd routes.
Haven’t bothered with it for the XC40.

Re: Double-tap gearshift

Think people quickly adapt (apart from my wife!) to whatever they drive - my last car was a Mercedes with the auto shifter on the right hand side of the steering column, if the weather was bad my wife would regularly shift the car in to neutral whilst trying to turn on the wipers! Likewise I'd often...

Re: New XC40 T3 Geartronic

did find however when driving a T5 with the auto box that it wasn’t that swift pulling away. I don’t think the Volvo auto box is that great if I’m honest. Did you definitely try it in dynamic mode though? That seems to be the key to making more rapid progress with the auto box. (And then Polestar w...

I drove the T3 manual demonstrator and was pleasently surprised at the power delivery for such a small engine, did find however when driving a T5 with the auto box that it wasn’t that swift pulli...

Re: White R Design Pro T5 P*

I saw the flags fitted to a First Edition in a main dealer a week or so back, assumed they were part of the FE package?

I purchased a set of mud flaps for a previous car from AliExpress - fitted perfectly at a fraction of the dealer cost.

Re: New car ordered!

We went through CarWow to get the discount and dealer was happy to honour it despite the shear number of XC40’s they are selling. Experience of the dealer so far has been very good however aren’t our local dealer, they wouldn’t budge on price at all.

Hi all Just ordered a new car for my wife - MY20 XC40 T3 manual R-design in Thunder Grey with winter pack, front park assist and electric memory drivers seat. Hoping for early July delivery as her lease car (VW Tiguan) goes back then. Major deliberation choosing the car and spec, especially with the...
