Dislikes:-
Lack of engine oil dipstick!
Lack of power mirrors/tailgate (on R-Design).
Inability to switch off start/stop completely.
EPB switch location and the fact the switch works ‘backwards’ intuitively.
Infotainment takes ages to connect to my iPhone.
Fuel economy (24-26mpg average).
Rear bumper doesn’t come with a lip protector for the boot.
Pins for engine cover are a stupid design.
Horns are a bitch to access (to change for a decent air horn).
Engine mounts corrode really quickly.

Agreed - engine cover mounts are a pain. It was also the same on the S40. Definitely my most ordered part from Volvo is replacement rubber caps as they always seem to go walkies.
There is an OBDC module you can get (forget the name exactly) that you just plug in and forget about. Makes sure the start stop stays in the position it was last in when the engine was turned off - off, for most people
It also allows you to close the power tailgate with the key, if you have one of those.
