Hi everyone,
just took delivery of my new XC40 T3 R-Design this week.
Looking forward to many happy years of motoring.
All help and recommendations on this forum appreciated.

Welcome! I bought a five month-old 600 mile XC40 T3 R-Design about three weeks ago and love it. I was worried about the three cylinder engine before I test drove it, but it was fine. I had a space saver spare wheel kit installed by the dealer.
Cheers,
Ron

Had mine 12 months, currently averaging about 300 miles per month - due to Covid19.

You're just not trying hard enough! :D I've put over 700 miles on in three weeks - which is about average for me.

My 2019 average, and the many years before that, was about 1,400/month. A combination of retirement and the lockdown has seen that plummet to the 300/month.

Still, saving lots of money πŸ˜€
