Well, I took your advice and did it! I am now the proud owner of a 2016 XC60 D4(190) Geartronic. (All I need to work out now is how to change my signature )
Next up is 'what can I add?' The one thing I will miss from my V40 is the Speed Limiter - I used it all the time in preference to the cruise control, as it handled traffic better. Can it be retro-fitted beside the cruise button? I also would like a reversing camera, but that is definitely an aftermarket choice (although where to site the display - as well as the satnav - will be a major headache; I am seriously thinking of planting it in front of the underused central info display).

Well done!
I would definitely recommend Polestar. Yours will go to 220bhp and include the geartronic remap. If you sign up for a My Volvo account, you can keep an eye out for offers on it and other stuff for your car. I got Polestar when it had £200 off. Still expensive for the time they spend on your car but it does enhance the experience. |

To my surprise and disappointment, my V60 didn't come with a reversing camera. However I recently had a new V40 courtesy car for a week which did... I found it practically useless, mostly because the actual camera rapidly became obscured by spray and road dirt. So now I don't mind mine now having one!

However I use centre and wing mirrors to reverse and am concerned about the blind spot below the higher tailgate, particularly in supermarket car parks

Yes, but ..... human beings’ eyes are sharper than their ears.
