Ah, that's encouraging. I have a 61 plate C70 SE Lux Solstice T5 with Polestar upgrade and full V.S.H. (oh and the Volvo windbreaker). Only 2 owners including me (well 3 if you count Volvo themselves - it was the UK Solstice launch car). I've had it since 27,000 miles and it's now at 98,200. What engine is yours?

Keep and eye out for door locks that open the door as you are driving (not dangerous as it just goes onto the safety latch). I've had 3 replacements - 2 drivers door and 1 passenger. There was a recall on these locks.
Also, I've had several instances of the car going into limp mode due once to a faulty throttle pedal module and twice with bad connections on the throttle pedal connector. All sorted at nil cost as I had a Selekt warranty. All is well now.
Otherwise, pretty trouble free.

Regards
John
