i bet that you're the type of person that might also like the BMW X2. Both seem to share similar driving characteristics and it can get even better if Polstar launches their own version, which they should.
We went today to make sure we wanted it so they could tax it ted as if were going to say no and i must say in the flesh even with all the white bits stuck on its looks pretty dam good ive only ever seen one on the road this year and that was the blue and everyone was looking at it
At last the first thing the boss said was her merc a250 was 12 months old and driving home in the xc40 was like a new car doesnt say much for merc was blinded with science on handover what a nice place to be will keep you posted one thing ive noticed with the boot opening with foot have your key to hand it will do every time then
Ok lovely people its been 6 days since we picked the xc40 up the boss loves it the only gripe she has is the lane assist motorways ok but even when your overtaking parked cars it comes on it can get dangerous so thats been turned of the opening of the boot you must have keys near it to work everytime will keep you posted i cant get near it to drive it yet she wont let me lol
Oh and she said weres me cd player to play me music it aint got one lol and its got adblue you can see that in settings

Wickster, thank you so much for the updates on the "Bosses" XC40! I'm glad she is enjoying the vehicle for far. Are you in an overseas location? I won't receive my XC40 until mid December (Nebraska, USA) so I'm living the dream thru all those who have there's already. There should be apps on the info center for her to find her tunes since she can't play her CD's (LOL)! :smile
Mike so funny weres me cd player lol i got one of the last first editions i think you will be made up mike with yours we were lucky only had to wait 4 months lol anyway the boss said im very low on volume in car when on phone to cut a long story short she has an iphone u have to turn volume up on iphone and when connected the bluetooth volume up iphones have it apparently and still not been for a spin yet
Ok you lovely people had the xc40 for a few months now still cant get it off the boss,anyway no problems to report i still dance round the back for that dame boot sensor,asked the boss any problems or dislikes,and for once she said nothing other than the seat bit gathers bits easy lol and i have a moan when i wash it i have to use step ladders for the roof apart from that all good,had a electric glitch were everything went haywire a month back when stopped engine off and back on again alls good a strange one.

Wickster, thanks again for the update. I'm sure the "Boss" is enjoying driving the vehicle and will let you not only wash it but drive it someday as well!:wink I'm only a few days away from getting my XC40 (released from the port in New Jersey last week) so I'm very anxious and excited as well! Take care!
Ok lovely people the boss rang me the other day coming home from work in a panic ive got a warning light on,what does it say something about blue,oh i said thats adblue warning i said so after 4000miles the low adblue came up but it had 1500miles left so i went to shell and bought some adblue 4.7 litre one £11.99 £ sign is english by the way lol and topped it up filler next to the diesel cap easy peasy volvo say you dont need to fill up between yearly services but the had just reached 4000 miles depending on driving style they say i say she thinks shes a racing driver .
Hello lovely people the boss,s xc40 which i might add i still cant seem to drive,had its first service done 12,000 miles and i can report no issues in the first year appart from using alot of adblue heavy right foot syndrome and the sat nav screen went daft switch on and off all ok the only gripe i have is the black plastic round the bottom does get dull i think it should of been colour matched but thats me and when i do get to drive it im not keen on the hill assist it does it everywere apart from that would the boss change not a chance
Hi you lovely people hope everyone is safe so its been 2 years since the boss got her xc40 still a fantastic car volvo got it right,just had its second service a few things i like to say the boss has racked up 26,000 miles so far we need 2 front tyres rears are ok also we need pads all round volvo say can we have a price please so fitted pads and front discs £700 ish dont think so,so got a set of pads for £130 and will do myself now the rear pads wear more than the fronts why because of the auto handbrake which ive never liked hill assist appart from that still looks good the black plastic does fade after a while the boss gets 32mpg heavy right foot and im sick of putting adblue in it lol so thats it stay safe everyone.
