Pro's of the xc60 are that it is comfortable, seats fold flat so you can get loads of stuff in (which is why we bought it to carry dogs in crates around in) and I feal safe driving it.
Cons are numerous
Turning circle of a bus.
Tyres condemned after 20k miles due to perishing and lumps falling off despite 6mm tread left - replaced with Continentals - so much quieter and a better feel.
Sat Nav doesn't know where it is on occasions, doesn't know where Peterborough is at all and refers to Reading as Rearing, the M3 Motorway as Metres Cubed and Oxford as something incomprehensible.
In heavy spray on the motorway all radar stuff packs up - warning lights flashing up. ABS doesn't work when snowing - again, red warning signs.
Outside temp guage is a random number generator - can change from 20C to 1C in a matter of seconds and the ice warning comes on in mid summer.
I could go on but won't - far too much tech nonsense on this car.
Solution, turn everything off when you start it up and drive as though you are in an old Rover 200 - you'll enjoy it.
