hi Darren F...yes I ordered the Xenium Pack, intellisafe, winter pack plus retractable tow bar. I did originally order the T3 but after reading loads of reviews I dithered about power after years of driving diesels and only moving to petrol because of the tide against diesel power. I will occasionally tow a light caravan and thought the T4 was probably a safer choice. MPG discussions have made me think but at 9000 miles a year the difference in running costs on the high to low running costs doesn’t seem significant enough to take a risk on the lower power option.Seems like a long time to march 1st but delivery is end February so for a couple of weeks it seemed worth waiting for the new plate.

That's a quick turnaround. I ordered way back in October expecting mid Feb, pickup on Mar 1 hopefully. I was just told the order is firm and no further changes possible and the mid Fed expectation still holds, similar to you being a T4 FWD Inscription Pro and a bunch of options. I had the exact same thoughts as you, between T3, T4, diesel, fuel consumption etc....and we have not even had a test drive yet and won't bother now. May be blind faith....we shall see. This is based on one of our cars we loved and owned the longest was the prior shape XC60 D5.

I personally think you have done the right thing - I have had a play around with the drive modes and in comfort (with a slightly heavy right foot) I am now getting 33-35 mpg on longer runs which I am very happy with. Your T4 should be even better! Better to have more power and not use it than struggle especially if towing.

Ordered mine Oct 17th, got email that the car had been built on 19th December, and it was delivered to the dealer on 6th Jan. Due to personal reasons (Motability) I decided to postpone collection till 1st March, new 2020 registered.
