My wife and I are picking up a lightly used, 8000 miles, T5 R-Design Pro in Bursting Blue, on Thursday. It’s been a challenge to find the spec we wanted but this one is packing just about every option available. So, the obligatory heated steering wheel, along with lots of other goodies, is awaiting us. We’re coming from a Range Rover Sport SVR so the lack of a V8 and about 300bhp is going to take some getting used to. We enjoyed the test drive though and having had a lot of fun in our last Volvo, which was a V40 T4, many years ago, I’m certain we’re going to enjoy the XC40. I won’t deny that there will be a slight tear in my eye and probably a very big tear in Mrs NCC’s eye as she absolutely loves the SVR, when we say goodbye to it. Needs must though and Mrs NCC doesn’t have to pay the huge running costs! We’re very fortunate that we have an F-Type Jag and TVR for weekend fun, so we can’t really complain
Anyway, I’ve enjoyed browsing the forum so far and hope to be able to contribute something useful once we get the car. TBH I’m really looking forward to having something small and fun but also practical for our mad but incredibly loving Cockapoo
