It’ll be £150 for them just to consider the question, and that’s if they manage to provide an answer or not. And if the windscreen breaks when they are considering their answer, you’ll have to pay for that too (although they’ll fit it for free).

I keep my wallet in it - easily reachable when paying road tolls, etc. A net pocket would have been less cool but more practical.

It's on the right side for you but no good for a UK car as a coin or wallet holder for the driver

The pocket is on the right side - it is the drivers in the UK that are sitting on a wrong side 😋

Joking aside - I could never understand this kind of cost cutting when adapting vehicles to the RHD markets.. if you go through the trouble of shifting the steering column, pedals, making a RHD dashboard, etc - wander how much have they saved by leaving the pocket on the left side?…

You must have a small wallet
Yes you are right about a net. Used to keep insurance/breakdown docs in the net on the V90.

Love it so far.
Still coming to terms with Google and Apps. It is so quick and easy after the Sensus system.
The only negative so far. Lack of storage.
We will just have to minimalize. Cut down on sweets and goodies!

Its a frankfurter holder, well known. You can use the Volvo branded frankfurter to test the auto stop on the electric windows if you feel your childs fingers are too valuable.
