New XC90 Owner

[Lycanthrope]

So I picked up my Exec today - first Volvo.

Some photos attached. Savile Grey, Chestnut leather/offblack.

Options: parking heater timer (heater is standard over here), running boards (the garage put one rubber on the wrong way around DOH!, front parking assist and removable tow-bar).

Car is lovely to drive and feels quite different from my friend's MY10 185bhp model. Can be the extra horses, also it has lower-profile tyres which probably alters the handling a bit.

I was amazed at now effective and useful the BLIS is.

I have a couple of stupid questions:

- Runnings lights: I was under the impression that during daytime the sidelights would be on, in fact I have dipped-beam on all the time. Is that normal?
- Electric windows: is it normal that they can't be closed when the ignition is just turned off? Very annoying when you've stopped the car and then remembered you have to close the window...
- Middle row headrests: can't these be removed? they're quite in the way of our isofix kiddie seats

Cheers
Dave
