What ever happened to the propshaft? A volvo prop shaft was £1000 30 years ago so a bargain I suppose

Back in Volvo ownership having sold my V50 D5 2 years ago.
Mywife's bought a 2016 XC60 D5 SE Lux with winter & family packs, and towbar. Only blemish is some biggish chips on the bonnet. One week in and so far all good! |

Well I really want to like my 2016 D4 2.0l R-Design Lux Nav - it looks great drives great and is comfortable
BUT I just can't stop worrying about the bloody EGR cooler b0110ck5 and just can;t work out whether the Volvo so called final fix should put my mind at rest or whether my engine is slowly choking itself to death and every day is one day closer to needing an entire new engine! |

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. |

Yes, in 45 years of car owenrship, I've only ever bought the same make/model twice. My XC60 is great and it passes one test that most of the others failed miserably: the headlight bulb replacement test. If you can't replace a headlight bulb in a filling station carpark at night, then it fails. The XC60 seems to have been so well thought out - great job Volvo.

Don't you just love the Volvo satnav? Sounds as though you have a real problem with the outside temperature gauge. It works properly in our V60 and V70 apart from when we leave one of them out in full summer sun. Then we naturally get higher readings.

2014 D4 engine. mostly good so far after 5 years ownership. 48mpg.
cons- egr replaced with new type with vents another part needed replaced - some sort of switch system - volvo was a daft price so fitted a 2nd hand part from a xc90 - still going. aux belt squeal, needs sorting out. bit heavy on front tyres (FWD) Rears last forever ! 115000 miles. |

I bought mine with 3.500 miles on it, 55k miles later it still puts a smile on my face. I do think about other vehicles, but once I get behind the wheel of this XC60 D5 manual, those thoughts quickly fade away and deep down I know there is nothing better, it does everything and more. It pulls like a steam train. I dread something major failing on it, but it would have to be very serious for me to consider saying goodbye to the car. Its the best vehicle I've ever owned and no dealer is going to get their hands on it.
