Re: Poll time - Would you have paid to have a different colour?

I have been struggling with colour choices on the RD. My go-to is black, and I absolutely love it in black with the equivalent Mercedes 'night pack', but my current car is black and I've said for 3 years that I fancied a change, so have ended up with.....black!! I'm not a red or white person, I was...

Re: New Car on the drive..

Depends what model year you get. My car ordered mid year last year and picked up at the end of September 2019 is a MY2020. I would expect any car picked up now will be MY2021, but who knows; what's it say on your order. Don't forget that in any event the chrome trimmed exhausts aren't really chrome...

That's a relief, thanks!

Re: New Car on the drive..

Can someone please confirm that 2020 model-year XC40 Inscription comes with dual exhaust tips? I'm still waiting for mine and honestly, would be disappointed if it had hidden exhaust tips.

Re: MPG - Again :-)

In my last car I cried each time I visited the petrol station. A 90L tank at 1,60€ per L was close to 150€ per tank and lucky to get more that 400km per tank was on average around 22-25 L/100km Looking very much forward to my T5 twin arriving. The current “waiting car” a D2 V40 Xc being a diesel co...

Very impressive indeed! Is your T3 auto or manual?

Re: Black Stone or Crystal White or Glacier Silver or Fusion Red or Denim Blue

My order is black stone too, mainly because I was being cheap, in an effort to keep the price reasonable after choosing all those packs. Hopefully I won't regret it, but I doubt I will. If you can keep it clean, I think it's still one of the most beautiful paints out there.

Re: Wireless Apple CarPlay

Also keep in mind that phones get quite hot while charging wirelessly. I've seen reviewers, like Thomas at Autogefuel, complaining that their iphones get really hot while charging, making them nearly unusable. My guess is, using wireless carplay while charging wirelessly may be recipe for trouble. ...
