Car was 'fixed' ( two jubilee clips) and returned. Was told by dealership they would sort this when car had its first check/upgrade. Traced this to pools of water in the rear of the car. After delivery in October, noticed the car was misting up by December, especially on cold mornings. I put my deposit down a year before the car was released and received all kinds of welcoming emails from Volvo UK. 100% happy with this car and made the right decision.Ī very luxurious car in every sense. The new 60 may replicate some of this but it's a big step up, in a good way, from the current 60. This car is totally different from the XC60 in terms of comfort, drive position and most of the features. I've heard some complain about the hardness of the seats in the Momentum but I haven't tried that model so can't comment. The seats on the Inscription are very comfortable once you've found the right position with the multitude of possible adjustments - thanks heavens for the memory feature. The D5 has enough poke to get you out of trouble or to feel like you're motoring, whilst the ride is smooth. It's the hidden safety features that mKe you feel safe inside a Volvo that really count. The auto park is a bit of a gimmick but I can see it might be useful when you're struggling to find space that's a bit tight. I guess if you want an SUV that feels more sports car like then that's ok, but I really feel comfortable in the bright, airy interior of the 90. I was out off with the Jag as it felt a little cramped and busy inside. The real winner for me is the minimalist feel of the interior. It feels like an expensive car (at £54k before discounts it is expensive) but if you want a bit of luxury then you get what you pay for. Sure the running costs are a little higher (insurance and so on) but the extra interior space, comfort and safety features make that worthwhile. Having driven it for a while now there's nothing that would make me rue the decision not to wait for the new XC60. Delivery time was reasonable (about 7 weeks) and the local Volvo dealer prepared the car for pick up with the usual attention to detail. We didn't really want such a big car, the XC60 being the perfect size for us, but after testing the F-Pace as an alternative decided to give the 90 a go.ĭuring a two hour loan the 90 convinced me so we ordered one and added the Xenium options pack and BLIS. Having owned two XC60s we were getting impatient waiting for the new model which Volvo have pushed out to late 2017.
