Hi All

I have got out of an Evoque worst car ever and bought an Volvo for the first time I hope its reliable and a pleasure to
own. I am retired and I thought the Volvo ticked all the boxes.

I have ordered a Crystal white Inscription pro T3 with the roof, space saver with charcoal leather, it has most of the things
I need as standard on it so not to much to pay on top. I hope in the future I only hear good things about the car and they
eat up the miles in comfort with no known series faults. Its always a chance when you buy a new model straight of the
drawing board and you are the test pilot for the ones coming behind you.

The reason I opted for the petrol model is I don't do the miles for diesel and use mostly B roads so the car doesn't get up to speed to
clear those dam DPF filters that are clogging up all the modern diesel cars (I see major problems in the years ahead with blocked
DPF filters) and all their associated sensors the main dealers and specialist will be rubbing their hands and the government with there
punitive tax regimes on the diesel car owner.

Good luck all with there new cars

As they say life's a lottery.. Moving from my 5 year evoque best ever car I've had 100% reliable not one fault.. 60k only 1 new set tyres at 40k...
