I'm looking forward to my test drive on Tuesday, if I like it I will be looking for an extended test drive. I'm really interested to see how the Skoda pans out. The VW I'm not so sure about, it's all about the 240bhp engine with this car, but you never know.

I've had all three German makes and I'm an Apple person but I don't consider these cars apples esque. I think it all rather depends on if you have the most expensive phone/car then it'll be great, some of the old entry level stuff may now disappoint, whichever manufacturer. Volvo def the most comfy to date but I may go back to whatever suits/attracts at the time. Volvo def up there on quality, although I did buy top spec. Guess what I have realised over the years is I don't buy entry level stuff anymore, and I dare say I will never buy another new car, loose way too much to keep doing that. Much rather have a high spec older car.

But being 70 next year I've decided I'm going to treat myself, it could well be my last car, who knows. If I decide other than the Volvo XC60 I will probably go down the nearly new road again, with that option you get to test the car your intending to buy. Like you I would not generally look at a lower spec, I like my toys to much.

You can nearly always spot an entry level German or JLR car by looking at the DRLs. Base models come with old-fashioned incandescent DRLs. To me they look quite sad. Even cheap and cheerful sub-10k Hyundai models come standard with LED DRLs. In 2017 you really should not have to pay extra for these, unless of course you want to make base models unattractive and seduce the buyer to either pay extra for the option, or climb the specification ladder.

Your exactly right, a 1.6d in a seven seat Nissan or even a five seat suv doesn't do it for me.

Your obviously looking more at the sporty versions, whereas I'm looking for comfort with a turn of performance if I need it. I hope the road test works out for you, do I take it that you haven't seen one in the metal yet?
