Hi all,

Picked up my new XC40 last week. Went for Black Stone and stuck with the 19" wheels for ride quality :)

Hi Fox. Congratulations on picking it up!

Did you test drive one with 20's? Just interested to know the difference in ride quality too.

Any pics???

I saw an FE on youtube earlier in white with the 19's looked really nice

I never actually test drove the car. So it was a big leap of faith on my part. The dealer always assured me that I could have my deposit back if I didn't like it after testing, but never actually got that far. After watching all the youtube reviews, and seeing all the awards it got, I was pretty certain I wanted it. Plus as I put the deposit down before the end of December, I got the larger deposit contribution from Volvo, so I would have lost that opportunity!

One thing that the reviews seemed to mention is that the ride was a bit hard on the 20" wheels, and since I bought the car for comfortable cruising, I stuck with the smaller wheels. If the 4C adaptive suspension had been available I would have gone for the larger rims!

Foxracer, from there pictures I've seen, the black is stunning. Great choice.
