Hi

Picked up my new XC40 on 16th March having ordered in September 2017 on first day it was possible to submit an order. Took a bit of a gamble as this is the first car i've ever ordered without ever seeing or driving the vehicle. As it was the first edition model only had to decide on colour, size of wheels and interior. Really thought the silver would look really good (it does!), the 19" inch wheels would aid the ride (they do!) and it could only be the charcoal interior for me.

So having taken delivery was my gamble a success? - you bet it was! The car is superb and has certainly lived up to all my expectations. Owned VW Scirocco for last 9 years. Considered a T-Roc but XC40 is in my humble opinion a superior vehicle. As yet I've not found anything to dislike and there are lots of "toys" on the FE models to experiment with to enable you to personalise your own settings

To all of you waiting to take delivery I hope you will find your car (or should that be SUV??) as brilliant as i have!

Well done Volvo
