Hi everybody,
I'm hoping to pick up my first XC40 in the next couple of weeks. I've owned other Volvos before, a little 480 turbo in the late 80's, a V40 about 5 years ago.
I've ordered my T5 Recharge Inscription Pro Glacier Silver - I don't think I've seen that colour on the road anywhere, I hope I'll like it.

There is something I will need some advice about - I'll make a different post for that, but hope to chat to others on here in the future.

Thanks for the photos. I've got her now, and she is awesome !! I went for black upholstery, I had blond in a V40 a few years back, and although it's beautiful on delivery, I'm afraid it's a bugg&r to keep nice, just getting in and out when the car was wet left a mark on the interior door handles, + we have 2 dogs to transport.

I'm seriously in love, just getting used to the electric running at the moment. I am impressed at how fast she is tho, and that (running on petrol) the on-board statistics claim I got 39.5 to the gallon on a return journey Nottingham- Gloucestershire.
