Hi!

After months of checking the forum as a visitor I decided to create an account and to become a member of this nice community.

I ordered a T4 Inscription in March and as of 29th May I still don't have a factory confirmation. My dealer told me to expect the car already in December :oops:

Kind regards!

Welcome, ouch that's a nasty forecast. Didn't think they had issues with Inscriptions but guess you might have add an extra which had limited supplies

Honestly, I only removed the sun roof (I'm 6'3 and can't afford wasting head room) and I thought that would make things easier. However I am looking at 9 months wait for a bloody entry level Volvo SUV :D !! Apparently some dealers have been smarter than others when allocating production slots

Have you sat in one/test driven? I was quite surprised how "deep" the seats can go and so "create" headroom - but will depend on your preferred driving position.

I have not. I am fool enough to have bought the car based on pictures only. I'll ask my dealer. I am afraid I am going to have plenty of time to modify my order. Thanks!

I test drove a FE with sunroof for a full day before placing my order. I'm 6'3" and long in the body and have loads of trouble with head height in some cars but absolutely no trouble whatsoever with head height in the XC40. Even with the sunroof blind shut I could still achieve a high driving position though the seats have a great deep adjustment.

I didn’t think a sunroof came as standard on a T4 Inscription? I have ordered the Pro and am pretty sure it is an option only.

I stand corrected. I did not actually remove the Sun roof, I just did not add it :D
