Well after due consideration a couple of weeks ago I ordered an XC40. I had given one or two SUV’s the once over resulting in the Volvo becoming the favourite. Now retired I was looking for comfort and easy access for my wife who is increasingly less mobile. So I took her along to sit in it and she managed fine. As the one we saw had a powered passenger seat that helped to win her over in getting the right position. Next step was a test drive. It was an R-Design petrol auto. Smooth, comfortable, easy to drive, just the job. We were both impressed. My wife said she would be disappointed if I didn’t get one.
Unfortunately I have to keep costs down. I costed out all the model options with selected add-ones. I soon realised it was easy to get carried away so as we only do low mileage these days I concentrated on what was the best suit for us rather than all the gadgetry that I probably wouldn’t use. Having said that the base Momentum comes with lots of goodies anyway.
So it had to be Petrol and Automatic and subsequently I went for:
Momentum T3 Auto in Ice White with Charcoal Trim
Winter pack
Front Park Assist
Spare Wheel
Power Driver Seat
Power Passenger Seat
Dark Tinted Windows
Plus managed to get 3 years free Service and a dealer discount.
Would have liked the 360 Camera but that put the cost up too high.
Possible delivery Sept/Oct.
Only Gone and Done It
Completely agree on your point in getting easily carried away by adding all the extras on, but like you say even the entry level spec has a lot more functionality than some other cars. I was weighing up an XC40 or a Tiguin, and the entry spec on the XC40 was miles better in my opinion.
Three years free service is a nice extra. I'm collecting my car next week i need to see if i can get any discount on the services!
