Good things;
Fuel consumption seems slightly better, still got just under 1/4 tank indicated.
Suspension and ride feels smoother than my old P2...but it has done 100k less.
Extra toys inside Who knew a remote boot release was so good!!!
Headlights...much better.

Not so good.
No left foot rest next to clutch?? I even put my head back in my old one to check I wasn't going daft!
Floor pan in front of drivers seat still not flat, same in P2. Slight bump next to transmission tunnel.
Wing mirrors have slight play.- Still fold but they have a wobble to the touch.
Dog guard keeps dropping down. Wondering if it's aftermarket as the one in my old P2 was so strong it could take your fingers off when folded up.

Looking forward to next 100k!

Mutt guard shocks have had it, a common issue.
£23 each from volvo, themselves, Im astounded that people on ebay charge £45 for one!.
I dislike not having the fart pedal (footrest)
If its the mirror itself, They may be missing the white retainer flaps and its evidence they could have been replaced.
