Different insurers may see it differently of course and may be seen as different if we are first or 2/3rd owners I guess.
Interested to keep hearing PS owners experiences.

Yes I am following this thread as I want to get PS to mine D4.
As I was mentioning before if I knew this what I know now I will definitely call Volvo before I bought this car and received to do PS and sell it to me as V90 with polestar already added on.
That will at least give me premium with normal price not £230 more a year as on yesterday

I would also check with your insurance company as well as clearly in my case with Aviva, a dealer added PS prior to registration of the car would still be considered as a modification and invalidate the insurance.

In that case it will be only one option. Wait until warranty has finished and go to one of my lovely garage that do proper remap and do D5 from D4 and then pay bigger premium.
