Just taken delivery of my 3rd Volvo, an XC40 Inscription Pro T5 in Thunder Grey with Tan leather - excellent drive and comfortable. My first Volvo was a 360 (1988), second a 340 DL (1993), both superb. Been driving Jaguars since and just sold my Jaguar S Type. We had difficulties getting in and out because of the low seats and also couldn't justify a diesel (not enough mileage now I'm retired). So opted for a Volvo XC40 - great for getting in and out and engine is extremely responsive. Although need to be careful with fuel consumption - found that driving in cruise between 60-70 results in about 35mpg, around town reduces to 30mpg. We are driving to France in two weeks, can't wait to take it on the excellent French roads.
