Cool

Picked up the ol' girl today!! Very nice. That d5 growl is just so impressive - sounds great and the pace is brilliant.
Some initial thoughts:

-the speed camera 'bong' noise reminds me of being in an aeroplane!!
- the cruise controls are backwards compared to my c30 - single press on the xc60 jumps it by 5mph an long press increases 1 by 1. The c30 is the opposite which makes more sense to me, but might just be used to it.
- can't see media/song info whilst nav guidance is on...which is annoying, although does show info in nav screen providing there is no guidance.
-geartronic - I can see why some think that it's slow and clunky, but I bet it's because it's being driven in the wrong way? I found it to be silky smooth when it's not driven hard all the time, sport mode certainly helps for a more b road spirited drive. And in all honesty no better or worse than the Audi tiptronic or whatever it's called in an a4 avant I've driven.
- very quiet refined ride

Crappy photos for now:
