Cheers, it is very nice throughout. This is down to two factors. Firstly due to single-owner driver long term ownership. Company owned then personal, same driver travelling big motorway miles visiting industrial sites around the country.
So no dogs, wellies, mountain bikes, straw bales, kids, crisps, sweets and the inevitable carnage to the body, trim and interior.
The second reason is that I'm a bit of a detailing nut.
Every area of the car has received a serious level of attention including the engine bay, carpets steam cleaned and leather fully cleaned and correctly finished.
The plastics were treated with Aerospace 303 Protectant to keep them blacker for longer....wheels off and cleaned...under-arch areas...glass polished in and out and given a hydrophobic coating...paintwork has had a multi-stage treatment including de-tar, clay bar, machine polish, wax and sealant, plastics and wood surfaces cleaned and protected, door-shuts etc etc....you get the picture.
A fair number of hours to say the least.
This year she's had all filters, two changes of oil and an upper torque mount.
Oh, and the swirl flaps done.
Why the XC70 ?
IMO better handling than its stilted stablemates, improved even further with the addition of a 4C chassis with a better proportioned load space.
Driving position is altogether more car, less bus.
