Re: Tyre recommendations?

I've got crossclimates. Not had chance to use in snow yet (even though got them in January) but have been happy with them.

Re: Data Plan

I've only used about 5gb in 17 months, live traffic, occasional TuneIn (and previously spotify) and a few other online services. Plus downloads where not too big

Re: Waiting for September number plate

I would always wait personally. The reg number makes a difference to many people.

Re: New car ordered

I very much doubt you will stick with this car..... I did think about responding to this post sooner, but decided that continuing to be so negative so early into ownership wouldn't be productive. My response would have been something along the lines of "I'd hope to keep it two years, or at lea...

Yeah, quite cheap for my opinion. You have really wood in dashboard and doors trims, leather, swedish flash detail, and so on and it's obvious that the lower part of the steering wheel may be chrome insert in other version (as r design for example). I don't understand this choice from Volvo, or the...

Re: Volvo XC40 hybrid

It will be due to the battery. The hp is increased by electric motor in the hybrids.

Re: Is the XC40 a noisy car?

I find the diesel engine very noisy to be honest. A lot more so than previous diesels I've had.

Tyre noise is fine - I have 19" crossclimates on
