Meet Huey
 
Well after three and a half years of trouble free ownership in the XC60, well apart from the obligatory EGR and cooler replacement it was time for a change. Decided to downsize this time.
Meet Huey

What model is it, I can see its a CC but I can't see the badge, they all look the same these days, is it a V90, nice though. You will love it.

Yeah 90CC PRO. Drives so differently to my previous XC60 R-Design, much softer ride, sort of wafts along. Just getting used to all the new tech.

I am sure you will enjoy it and have a great time discovering all the features, I am still finding things after 3 years. Good choice getting the CC version, easier to get in and out.

Enjoy Huey.

But, make sure you don’t squeeze into gaps based on your previous XC60 else you may get a nasty surprise!

HaHa. Thanks for the tip. First thing I noticed when looking at the 90 CC, was how wide it appeared. Didn't know the exact measurements, . . . but I do now. Certainly makes you slow down and keep to the left on narrower roads when another vehicle is oncoming. 👍

It’s the length that always trips me up. I think I’ve parked perfectly in a space then realise the car is overhanging. Oh well !

Same with my V90 - parked in Tesco yesterday, walked back to the car and realised it was sticking out somewhat - couldn't get it any further in the space.

360° camera makes parking a doddle with these long cars. I would always spec one now.

Conversely I'm finding it easier having 'downsized' from a L200!
