LOL, I think the title of this thread is funny. Even though I don't hate the car, I don't think I will ever buy another Volvo. Anyway, I had my XC40 for about a year now. I thought very highly of Volvo at first, and then I noticed one deficiency after another. The first was the paint job. I first noticed the paint issue under the light in my garage, what I saw was the paint spray pattern or stripes on the hood. The second issue I noticed was when I was washing the car. I found defects in the tint. The defects I found can be best describe as lint getting caught in between the glass and aftermarket tint. I can understand having this issue if I had aftermarket tint done, but this car came straight from the factory. The third issue was with the door mirrors. Leave it to my OCD to find this problem. I notice something was off with my door mirrors when I was standing in front of my car and looking straight at it. The passenger side door mirror was not parallel with the body of the car, it had the appearance that the mirror housing was folded in a little. I was told by the dealership that this is normal and they showed me that all the other xc40's on the lot were designed the same way, however they could not give me an exlplanation to why Volvo designed this car that way. And the fourth issue I'm having is the HVAC system. When I have the blower set to my feet and to my upper body, I get no air coming out of the upper vents and very little air coming out of lower vents. I even had the blower set to the max and still could not feel anything on the upper vent.
I also experienced poor fuel milage with this car, it seems the only way to achieve decent fuel milage is to drive like there is an egg under the gas pedal. The ride comfort I am not impressed with. This car's suspension makes it feel like I'm in a bouncy tent. Any minor rough road surface, you better be holding onto the steering wheel. This was my first Volvo and I believe it will be my last.
