XC60 Long-Term Road Test
 

I don't know if any of you follow this, but I find it quite interesting.

Not too sure about interesting but it certainly confirms why I never want to set foot in the good old US!!!

Why would that be then?

I leave adaptive cruise on 2 bars and that is a perfectly reasonable distance, any closer would be unsafe in my opinion. That is also based on various distance markers in the UK and France which tell you how many white lines to leave between cars for safety. If the blogger says that the minimum distance is too far then he/she clearly wants to travel at an unsafe distance behind a car. I don't think Volvo should support that distance. The bloggers comment that he wants the 'dumb' cruise back is beyond me. I would never go back to 'dumb' cruise, ever!

What a statement to make
 

What a statement to make I hope you have been to the USA and are making an informed judgment

Blimey! I was simply stunned by the pictures in Sequoia National Park.

I couldn't imagine having the settings adjusted to travel any closer! As mentioned above, 2 or 3 bars is more than close enough for me; any less and you're well inside the recommended stopping distance at 60MPH. Plus, I use it more or less all the time and far prefer it over the 'old fashioned' type of control.
