So yes hopefully I'm going to get to try a XC60 T5. I think it's a R design, probably a pro as well, I think it will be this Thursday, but with my record of XC60 it might not happen, but I'm sure the dealer will want to keep me sweet .
I'll report back my thoughts when I've had the test drive .

Yes please, that's the exact car I am getting. There weren't any T5 or R Designs to test when I was ordering.

Sorry to hear of all the delays and it would appear to be similar to my previous XC60,s where the delivery took 5 months each time, with no sensible answer from either dealer.
My D4 Inscription Pro is ready for collection tomorrow and is exactly to the date arranged to suit both parties , will let you know how it goes once I have put some miles on. Must again point out this was a dealer pre ordered car, changed to the spec. I wanted.

Will be sorry in a way to see the old car gone after 46000 miles in 3 years as it was trouble free apart from a door mech. they had to replace. Rear tyres are still originals and front have covered 28000 miles,passed MOT with just a comment on edge wear. This just shows all the comments people here make on the D4 AWD being the one to avoid are simply their opinion.

I was the same, a choice of one a D5 Inscription pro, but that suited me.

Thanks I will get there in the end.
Nice to hear of someone else getting their car. Yes please keep us informed of you views on the car, apart from the engine mine will be of similar spec.

I'd ask the dealer what the system says.

Dealer advised me yesterday that my T8 is 'in the country' however from previous experience with Landrover, it took them 5 weeks to get my car from the factory Liverpool to London, it's location was unknown for 5 weeks and it finally turned up in an overflow car park in Warwickshire!

It will help fill in a bit of time until that day arrives.

My test drive is now tomorrow, Friday @ 2pm.

Enjoy it as I am sure you will. If you get the chance can you report on the differences between Comfort and Dynamic.

Well I had some good news today, my car will be at dealers tomorrow and picking up on Monday afternoon. Shame I only have one afternoon to drive it as I am off to France for a week on Tues ( not in the new car). Still very excited now and happy it turned up on time. Will still be glad to get your opinion of the test drive tomorrow.

Pity you won't have it for France. I am in France now and wish I had my new car with me.

That's a bit of a bummer, having to leave your nice new car for a week, hope it's a holiday and not work.
Anyway at least you will have yours, enjoy your afternoon with it.
I will post my opinions tomorrow.
