Re: Key Box??

Hi all. A question for recent new owners please. Did you get a keys presented in a key box when you picked up your cars? I am not a recent owner (Nov'19) as I was shown the box but then given just the keys. Someone else on here picked up a new XC40 a couple of months before at the same dealership a...

The big question is - how much discount did you manage to get on the list price? :-)

Re: Collision warning or autobrake activation etc?

The collision avoidance system on my car kicks in when ever I go past a certain traffic island with cars parks closed before and after the island. I know the car is seeing the parked car when I turn in and reacts. If I slow down a lot before the island it is usually fine. Some of the previous issues...

Re: Ready to buy...

Before ordering my car I checked out a nearly new R-Design. I know you are not going for the sun roof but that's a common fault to be aware of. The car I looked at had a sunroof that juddered opening and closing, it was awful. The only other thing that comes to mind is the collision avoidance system...

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.

I'm not sure Inscription ever had the paddles. Were standard on R Design, but not anymore. Maybe they were an option on Inscription at one time. Had my paddles over a year now, no consolation to you, but never actually had the need to use them. They were not standard on the R design, but a £125 ext...

Re: Volvo On Call / Volvo ID

When I press there - it is asking for some sort of code: https://i.ibb.co/58KJwXY/image011.png I have a feeling, that this might be an issue. When I picked up my XC40 from the dealership they had registered my email as a .co.uk instead of .com. Had to speak to the Volvo On Call (by pressing the but...

Re: Pilot assist in crawling traffic - your opinion?

I am another person agreeing with goi. Had my car for 9 months and drive on the M25 and through the road works on the M23 all the time - the ACC makes it so simple and stress free, especially in traffic with the car automatically slowing you down from 70mph to a standstill and back up to your set sp...

Re: Hello

Congratulations and welcome to the Forum. Which version did you buy? and the important question... which colour (Bursting Blue is easily the best looking lol) If you have not seen already - its worth buying a matt screen protector for the info system. Really helps stop the problem with finger prints.
