The Volvo thread

[CaptainJack]

XC60 similar ? Slightly smaller ? Same reliability I assume ?

A couple of months into an Ex-Demo MY23 XC60 T6 Hybrid & love it!! Coming from a long line of BMW’s & wasn’t sure how we would get on - 7k miles on & only wish I’d done it sooner.

Nothing not to like. Comfort is first class, plenty space for my needs, good / well built solid feel & a bit of punch when you need it.

As minty fresh as it is I won't be competing for a cup. I can manage immaculate, but waxing the undersides or swapping the wheels upon arrival for a set of "show" only wheels is a step too far for me. I'll take my folding chair and sit next to it with a soft drink and my pipe.

Sadly the car that made the brand has become the victim of fashion....I guess I'll have to buy a newish estate close to retirement to see me out....short sighted by Volvo!

Short sighted for us, but not for them - despite us now being in mourning their sales and profits are at record levels.

The sales I see or more accurately commonly see are company cars, I know of few who buy them.

...and saloons... in the UK. So it's SUVs only now for us, but the S and V models do continue in other markets, although likely only in LHD.

Unless you count the Polestar 2 as a 'Volvo'.
