Re: Lease or Buy

No contest for me, purchase and keep for as long as the car keeps performing without any major faults. I am not a high mileage man nowadays. Purchasing the XC40 Inscription pro I have ordered with a top spec at a good discount with an excellent trade in offered in writing on my MY10 XC60(also a top ...

Re: Premium price for a D4 FE?

I understand the Volvo policy is they have to be kept for 3 months. The trick is they sell you the car but you don't get the V5 until the 3 months is up. I bought my current Volvo as an ex demonstrator and it was 2 months old but I had to wait a month for the V5. I had a contract document from the d...

Re: A new detailed review

I think I would add the Tiguan is not very comfortable. It was the seating (very hard)that stopped me buying one 2 years ago.

Re: Little known XC40 Factoids?

Don't forget who owns Vovlo, business sense dictates that many of the parts will be from China. Or at least from the most cost effective/cheap source! Fact of life I'm afraid.

Activ 4 or Dynamic Suspension

Hi GUys
Who knows what the advantages of the Activ 4 suspension are over the standard Dynmaic suspension. I am looking at a Momentun Pro with 18" wheels, as I drive over tracks and dislike "rubber band" tyres.
Comments will be very welcome
Thanks
Tom

Re: Launch event chat

Well attended the event last night in GUildford. I have to say I was impressed with the car and my impression is that it is bigger than had imagined. Have a test drive booked for next Wednesday. However the BIG disappointment for me is that I was told that the dealers will probably NOT have the Insc...

Re: Will they allow us to do this on a test drive?

Wouldn't we be lucky! I doubt it. Reminds me of Land/Range Rover tests highly publicised about 20 years ago. Often seen at County Shows.
