So, my question is: Is the XC60 205 AWD quite noisy, or was this a bad example, or maybe it's just because I was concentrating on the noise?
I bought my D5 - a "fully loaded" dealer's demo - sight unseen, with 2,000 miles on the clock, having only been able to test drive a D3 locally (long story - don't ask!). Must confess that when I first drove off in my new pride and joy I was a little perplexed about the "growl" when pulling away from low revs. I hadn't noticed it in the D3.

Suffice to say that before I'd covered half the 200-odd miles drive home I'd grown to love the whole thing - including the slightly gruff low-down engine note - and now don't even think about it.

I'm sure you'll find the same.
