By the way... I have some friends from Poland. Basically everyone there drives +20kph above the speed limit Fine for driving 200+ kph on highway (or basically anywhere +50kph above the limit) is like 100 euros

From my experience, it's the opposite! If you play about with the Polish Volvo configurator you can pretty much build your ideal XC60, even down to a parking heater. What I will say though is that many items that are standard here are optional extras in Poland.

I agree you have done your bit having worked for the military, and that is a question rather than a dig, but I presume when you were non resident then you didnt pay UK taxes? I presume though that you kept UK citizenship so that you could come back though? Welcome back to the UK, its likely to be a bit if a bumpy ride for a couple of years post Brexit but sure it will be fine in the end.....Given I am heading to retirement I am hoping its sooner or later as I could do with my pension pot not being decimated.... |

Quite a few whites in South Africa trying to move to UK, partly because of affirmative action, people are put into jobs they do not have the ability to do, jobs that are based on skin colour and not on merit. When these people stuff up they blame it on apartheid, they refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. I'm all for Brexit, Brussels should never be able to pass laws that we have o comply with, thereby losing our sovereignty to a bunch of eurocrats not voted for by the British. I definitely believe Britain will be far better off in the long run. Where are you living now?

I have B5P XC60 but only done 650 miles so far. Seems to be averaging 27mpg and nice and quiet. Had MY17 XC90 D5 powerpulse before that. Better mpg approx 33 average, but very unrefined engine.

Update, my wife has now decided that she will try to use her XC60! On one level I'm actually quite relieved as it means that we won't be lumbered with the expenditure of replacing her car.

I have tested the D4 and T5 and I was not impressed with the performance of the T5.
Not sure how that stands with the B4 and B5 variants but I believe that the B variants may improve the smoothness feeling that I think lacks within the T5 engine.

My T5 is very smooth and much quieter than my previous diesel.
