a Challenger maybe?..!!

Correct, but it didnt have a gun attached to it - blooming big crane and an excellent dozer blade - for some reason we never had an issue with car parks or getting blocked in by traffic ;)

Hey! I had the same worries! My last three cars Audi TT Mk1, Audi TT Mk2, Audi S4 V6 Supercharged B8 2011. And do you know what, I love my XC60 which I've now owned for 7 days! Fair enough i have the toys, Tv, Premium Sound, Sub, Blis etc.etc. But the drive is great and the D5 nice! So yep I've come from a 155mph super saloon, to a super crossover with no regrets. The beauty of it all is getting between 40 and 50 to the gallon out of the D5 manual!

Wait, be excited and enjoy!

If you can get 40-50mpg from your MY12 D5 manual your a lucky guy. Mine is showing 35.4 on the dash and is showing 33.8 on fuelly.

I would be very surprised if anyone can get more than 38 on dash(36mpg on fuelly) in normal driving, on the motorway you cant even get this at the national speed limit!

That's unusual on the dash at 70mph cruise it reads about 48 - 55mpg. Up hill reads about 39mpg. Down hill about 70 - 80mpg.
