How time fly's when your joyriding around.

Very quick summery.
Comfort .....10/10
Grunt..........9/10 Good enough for me.
Style..........10/10
Every thing works at the moment (fingers & toes crossed) No DPF messages etc. (Early days yet, will post back on this issue later).

As it's my first Premium car I'm bound to be impressed, but I really am impressed.

Couple of pics, although it's a weeks worth of dirt on her.

Chuffed with mine too. One thing I've noticed on mine though; does your boot open slower than it closes?

Very nice indeed! Love the beige interior! More pics

The only negative in my eyes is the 18 inches, kinda ruins the R-Design.

You also have the same cargo box as me!

Yes to look at it would've maybe been better, but as someone said previously The extra tyre will protect against catching a curb Which is important to me in my job.

As for the cargo box, that was another freebie. I was going get this one:

what with getting the SatNav as well, I've been very lucky.

Bob, she looks amazing and think your tinted cargo area is great. Loving the beige interior too - nice contrast.

Hope I get some freebies next week - heated seats and active lights would be good - wishful thinking

Cheers Kev. You never know with the freebies, I still can't work out why I got them, I must have been a good boy in my previous life.(can't say it's this life )

Nice car, but TBH I have to say I also prefer the 18" rims as I think that the car looks too 'bling' with the 20" wheels - kind of like a caricature?

Plus 20" rims would seem to be a bit of a triumph of style over function, 18" wheels are cheaper, will be cheaper to change tyres, will ride better, weigh less and will have lower rolling resistance so better MPG. A bit of a no-brainer really IMHO.

Thumbs up XC60 - Boot Protector

Hi

Lovely Vehicle...

Please can you tell me the name of your Dealer, I can't find the exact boot protector you have, which looks cool, hope it performs?

Thanks
