Good afternoon
I have an XC40 on order; they say early October. The garage had several nearly new ones but I preferred, probably foolishly, to specify exactly what we wanted. I have downloaded the 650 page manual for bedtime reading. Goodness it's all rather complicated.

Welcome to the forum.
The manual does look daunting, but a lot of items are mainly set and forget.
It’s not as bad as it looks and once delivered you’ll soon get used to the regularly used features so that you can enjoy the car.

XC40 T5 First Edition|Bursting Blue |delivered end of March 2018
As well as reading the manual I always advise new owners to get a Brotect matte screen protector off ebay or Amazon. It cuts down on fingerprints and glare no end and is dead easy to fit.
XC40 Bright Silver T3 Momentum pro with just about every option plus mud flaps and sunglasses holder.
I downloaded the manual whilst mine was on order in 2018 with the intention of reading it whilst I waited. I never did get to read it

I also bought the same screen protector, not for protection as such, but for the anti glare.
Was real easy to install apart from one instruction to cut down on dust which advised to fit it onto the screen in a moist environment, such as a steamy bathroom. The XC40 was a real pain getting up the stairs.
A few ups and downs. The young 'trainee' who masterminded my sale went off sick for 3 weeks. When it came to september I called the dealership to check the delivery date. They replied 'January'. Not best pleased. A couple of days later the young salesperson returns to work and calls apologetically; asked me to pop in to see if there was anything they could do. The Sales Manager (I went right to the top) has a spreadsheet of many XC40s they has unsold - cancelled orders and so on.
One was onsite - Inscription Pro in black with red leather. It looked lovely and they were happy for me to have that, as I was happy to accept it. It's rather better spec than the one I ordered but hey ho. Picking it ip Thursday.
