Hi
I discovered the forum this afternoon. What a superb resource it is with lots of useful information from XC40 owners. I am planning on becoming an XC40 owner myself in a few months time.
I like the higher driving position in an SUV and was attracted to the XC40 by the largely positive magazine reviews. This would be my first Volvo. I am thinking about the B4 Inscription Pro but am unsure whether to go for the FWD or AWD. Almost all of my driving will be on tarmac. I live in Scotland but the winters now are not as bad as they were 20 years ago. Nevertheless my thoughts were that AWD is like insurance - it's good to know it is the there for the rare occasions when it might be required. There appears to be a slight reduction in mpg with the AWD but it looks like it would not result in too much of an increase in fuel costs. I shall be pondering this in the coming days but think I will probably decide on AWD.
