The so-called "integrated exhausts" don't come with the D4 then?
I'm hoping that's the FWD D4 or else my little dealer friend is in for a kicking on Monday.! Really like look of the new front. Can't wait for July 1st.

The integrated pipes comes with the D4 AWD and NOT the FWD D4.

Twin pipes it is then ,my dealer can sleep easy I won't be kicking him in the morning.
Had an Evoque as a loaner, dealer had a customer for my 2010 but he's now given me a V40 until end of month. Nice car it's a D2 same as Mrs D's C30 but gearbox seems much smoother, can't think why? Really like the keyless drive, apparently it's standard but not on the XC60? Seems a really strange omission.

Yes, it's a shame the FWD SE is penalised with regard to the tail pipes and I wasn't happy when the next spec sheet came out after I had ordered where it was more specific. Anyway, just done 450 miles, mainly motorway, and it's a very nice place to be for long journeys. The accelerator is a little high after a floor mounted VW pedal and both myself and OH got pain over the ankle within a couple of hours which I am hoping is not going to be a regular occurrence. Fuel consumption was 38mpg which was a little lower than anticipated but that should (better!) improve as the engine settles (trying the Honest John running in method!). Lovely big boot is handy but I am considering a custom boot liner with bumper flap to keep it nice if bikes go in. The nice shiny bumper looks like it needs some protection so may look if volvo do some polymer film as well - my attempts with Helicopter tape on my bike are not very pretty so that option has been vetoed. Love the LED lights and stereo (standard) though and overall very impressed. D4 engine is absolutely fine and it has dispelled any lingering doubts having only driven the D5 as a demo.

Have a D4 FWD SE on order with an upgrade to heated leather seats.
Norco, what do you think of the new Valder alloys? I saw them on the showroom car and I thought they actually looked better than the two 18 inch options on the SE Lux. To be honest, I couldn't justify an additional 1500 quid for the SE (after adding the leather) just to get slightly larger alloys. Not bothered about Xenons and electrically adjustable driver's seat and would rather spend the extra money on a towbar and Tempa spare which is what I've done. I still have a slight nagging doubt that I should maybe go for larger alloys, but having test driven with 20 inch and 18 inch (drove a manual and geartronic) the ride was just a bit bumpy for me, particulary the 20inch. Are you happy with the 17 inch wheels and do they look OK on the XC60? |

Santa is real!
Since starting this thread in March 2013 I can finally say that I almost have my car.
I started this thread to update members on the MY2014 XC60 and use your opinions to determine whether or not I should get one. Made a call to the dealership today and they'd just been told that it'll be amongst their next delivery Just in time for Christmas. |
