What's up everyone! After much shopping for a small SUV that was fun (my requirement) and comfortable (my wife's requirement) to drive, we both liked what the XC40 had to offer after comparing it to an Audi Q5, Mazda CX5 Signature Trim and a couple of other options.
However, we almost gave up on the XC40 and went with the XC60 since they are so **** hard to find! One particular Volvo dealer near me is even marking up the R and Momentum they have on the lot (seriously?). We got lucky by stumbling into Volvo Cars Seattle and they had an Inscription, just the way we would have ordered it, except for the color. The story goes that Volvo brought 5 for the auto show in Seattle and they only had space for 4, so they gave one to the dealership. We were lucky to walk in the same day they got the car.
So here we are, with an XC40 Inscription, within 3 weeks of our search. If we hadn't found it, we would have had to settle on something else since we needed a car now and could not wait for the delivery times that are being quoted.
Congrats!!! Such a beauty!
I lucked out with my dealer texting me as a car was coming off the truck... I wanted white and black..but ended up with the even more elusive silver and black! Loooovvvveee it!!!

Autofaher, welcome to the forum! Sweet ride and she is beautiful! Please keep us informed on you likes and dislikes with the vehicle. For us who are patiently waiting for either their ordered XC40 or dealer stock, currently live through you guys who have them already! Take care and enjoy your XC40!
New to this forum - I've driven the XC40 for a year now. Overall very happy with one important mod: Dedicated winter wheels and snow tires worked amazingly well during this past snowy winter! I picked up the car in Sweden in August 2018 and after putting 3000+ miles on it driving in Europe it...
Just took delivery on a '20 Fusion Red RDesign T5 w/ Polestar. This is my first Volvo.
We've been all BMW (even my motorcycle) people. I demoed the X1 and didn't fit on the seat. The bolsters were too close together, and I don't warrant as "WIDE LOAD" sign. Otherwise, there just wasn't enough...
hi all: just bought a service vehicle 2019 T5 XC 40 in onyx black with about 9000 km(6000 miles) on it ... great car so far ... I bought a road hazard protection package for 4 years coverage from the dealer .. It covers all cosmetic damage from exterior to interior including key fob replacement...
