Front & Rear Park Assist Late in Activating?

I’ve had my R design for a week now and can’t help but think that the parking sensors are very late in activating. Feels like you have to be very close to something before the display changes or there is any audible signal. Also, if it activated then I stop it disappears and is very slow to come bac...

Re: Missing puddle lights under door handles?!?

I ordered an R Design on April 24th and picked it up this week. This came with puddle lights on the door handles.

Re: GAP Insurance

So when my policy says 'New car replacement for cars up to 1 years old', is that effectively the same as covering complete loss in the first year of ownership? Can I still take out a GAP policy at this point?

After ordering my R-Design T4 AWD back in April, I’m finally due to collect it this Friday. Beyond excited! Out of interest, what have others done re GAP insurance if taking out finance/PCP? I see there’s a preferential link on the site which does seem favourable in comparison to the Volvo quote I’v...
