I'm getting excited.....about a Volvo!
 
So the Volvo dealer has confirmed that our new XC60 will be delivered on Tuesday!

Even though this is a different, less exciting type of car to my previous purchases I now have new car butterflies.

Spec is:

XC60 D5 Geartronic R-Design Premium with Convenience pack.
Ice white with Black-Black interior
20" Cratus
Front and rear parking sensors
Panoramic roof
Rear tints


Roll on Tuesday!

Growing older (un)gracefully???

You will not be disappointed - and that's from a D3 owner!

Welcome to the fold

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!

My last car was an Impreza WRX.

1 year on still very happy with the XC60. Crossover is a great compromise IMO.

Enjoy your car!
