I always have my alarm clocks and the one in the car a few minutes fast. Better to arrive slightly early than be pushing hard to make up for "lost" time if you get my drift.

Live with it I say. More important things to worry about.

The mere mention of clocks and now all I notice in the car is that the clock is behind by a minute!

Can't say I've noticed mine loosing or gaining time really, but then again I have bigger things in life to worry about...

I'm waiting for the day the 2 clocks in the C30 tell different times

There's two different clocks in a C30! Is that the same in all new Volvo's?

I've got one in the middle of the dials where the trip computer is, and another on the radio.

Not sure if it's the same on all Volvos as I've not looked at them all...

At last! it's not just me then, yep my clock creeps out of sync and has to be corrected by 2 or 3 minutes about once a month I'd say (when it becomes noticeable)..........about as noticeable at last Sunday when it was 27 deg C but the car insisted it was 10 deg C and set the air con to a snails pace grrrrrrr...........

Hmm mine doesn't have one on the radio. Wonder if it was added in a software update that mines missed or is an option to enable in VIDA or something? On the plus side mine does keep it's time ok though.
