Re: Polestar

Thanks pjm007, I have read most of the Polestar posted opinions. Though I would have liked a little more in the way of performance from Polestar and there are other options worth considering. To keep within Volvo Warranty I have made a decision to have my FE D4 Polestarred --------------------------...

The Dealer responded stating he was unable to find a Polestar upgrade for my model at the present time. Though he would make further enquiries to Volvo to find out when it would be available for ...
