Yes, open the door sit in it and drive for miles and enjoy the wonderful comfort and sound system.

Seriously. Enjoy your new motor, just like the rest (most) of us.
Don't forget the obligatory pics though.

I have had my D5 AWD for over 2 years and it just seems to get better with age!

Just go to the XC60 General Forum and browse the threads. You will find all the opinions you could possibly want (and quite a few you don't ). Just treat everything as other peoples' opinions and draw your own conclusions, and you won't go far wrong. Best of luck.

Wasn't that Oedipus rather than Freud

(strange that the self procalimed Latin scholar with the math and economics degree hasn't commented on this )

Ah yes, but you see, it was Freud who actually coined the phrase 'Oedipus complex' believing (rather oddly) that it tended to drive much of our behaviour.

PS Oedipus was actually Greek, so being a latin scholar might not have helped........

PPS I have to confess that I was playing games with VR. It is actually I who have the M&E degree. I either put that in some post on this forum months ago, or VR is stalking me.......
