Here's a couple of pics of D3 R Design collected on Saturday 14th (at dealership since 10th). Only done about 50 miles so far and averaging 37pmg but very short journey's to date. Tow bar arrived at dealership on Monday lunchtime, they came and collected and had it back with me for 5.30pm so car is now all complete!

Loving what I've seen of the car so far. I'm no expert on cars or anything but D3 engine is nice and smooth and quiet and manual gearbox is great. Previous Audi A3 and BMW X3 owner and this car is world's apart from the X3. Have looked around for missing bits, loose things, wonky alignments and nothing so far. Thought I was missing storage under driver seat but having looked, that is part of convenience pack so shouldn't be on anyway. Fuse box cable thing others are mentioning is the same on mine.

Got a few long drives coming in next few weeks so will get better feel for things then. For anyone waiting, it is worth the wait!!

"Previous Audi A3 and BMW X3 owner and this car is world's apart from the X3" in a positive sense I hope.

Thanks MichelR!! Yes, in a very positive sense... so much better!

PS MichelR: Pretty sure I've seen you have tow bar on order too? It may work differently where you are but things didn't happen exactly how I'd thought here. When I ordered in March I asked dealership to order there and then so would have ready to fit once car arrived. The reality was (for me) that Volvo (Sweden) only release the tow bar once the car has a VIN so very hard to get the tow bar and car arriving at same time even if you think you've pre ordered/back ordered. Apparently there are 1500 tow bars on back order.

PS: My dealer already reserved a towbar in stock for me.. So it will definitely be mounted once my XC40 arrives..

Sounds good. That had been the plan for mine too!
