Had the ETA confirmed by dealer yesterday, will be last week of November. Volvo seem to have definitely ramped up production, seen a few T4 at least coming very quickly...

Had the car a week, 450 miles driven, everyone a joy. Averaging 27.5mpg lot of short journeys, also some sitting in the car engine running playing / learning settings. Best had was 37.5mpg no motorway driving yet.

Screen wash warning came on yesterday so will be lifting the bonnet 1st time today. Guessing dealer, like the petrol put absolute minimum in the tank. No way have we used 5.5 litres to the manual, has headlight washers. Fuel was told less than 10 miles on pick up.

Boot opening has been absolutely fine, no one falling over after losing their balance waving a leg. Been relatively easy, 80% 1st success.

Loving bending headlights, wash coming from wiper blades, heated seats and remote start with heated screen. Could go on, lovely car. Went out in a Honda CRV the other day, was shocked how big a step the Volvo is.

Washed once after a drive on Derbyshires finest A roads, great drive but was totally ditched.

Having 20” wheels was a little concerned of a less refined ride over the many pot holes on our lovely roads. Test drove both 18 & 20” there is a difference but trade off was looks handling. On delivery all where inflated to 40psi could tell too. Lowered to 36psi for now lot better, might lower to 34psi but happy with as is.

Need to fit my dashcam just need to purchase lead to hard wire to fuse box, great info in here, fingers crossed goes without problems.

A very enjoyable week, looking forward to lots more, great car...
