Default New car ordered

Was going to change our 2013 XC60 next year but went to look at one of the garages own cars for sale and have ended up ordering a new D5 Inscription Pro with Intellisafe Pro, Keyless Drive and Xenium Pack in Electric Silver. Should be in Monday/Tuesday as it's a car in stock.
Couldn't decide whether to order a T5 but after taking one of theirs out and seeing the trip saying 17MPG I changed my mind and went with the D5.

Hi Tresco enjoy the car, hope you got the +£5k off due to it being a stock car and pre Adblue.

Don’t forget to keep the keys well away from the car when it’s parked up at home, especially if it’s not garaged.

Why ? Have I missed something ? On the current XC60 you have to get close-up to open the car, and it will not start unless you are sitting in it.

Hi Nigel, are you aware of the latest gadgets the thieves are using to boost the signals from keys?

My last tank of petrol gave me 30.5 mpg. Average mpg over 1200 miles has been 29mpg.

Enjoy your new car. If anything like us you will be thrilled with it. We certainly are.

The spec and colour scheme sounds fantastic. My last XC60 was Electric Silver and looked stunning. Also it never looked dirty.

Anyway enjoy and looking forward to seeing the pics.

Cheers,

Mike

Good discount, Volvo were offering about £5500 off stock cars, to clear all the pre adblue ones. I would have liked a D5 but it was a bit too much for my budget. Hopefully mine will be be here by the beginning of January as delivery is supposed to be Christmas week. It will be an Adblue one.
