You won't believe the answer, exactly three years since the last XC60. In two weeks I go back for another induction with any questions I want answered or call in anytime if I want. Every time we have been there since buying in August it's hello Bernard and coffee and biscuits always waiting.

Glad you like your Polestar first thing my insurance co asked when I changed the policy was has it had any modification that increases power acceleration or top speed.

Well I'm quite happy with my dealer, I've only been with them for 2 years, but they don't seem in the same league as yours .
Just enjoy your car.
Don't forget to post some pictures.

Have some pics but how can I get them from an iPhone to the post. Obviously too big to start with.

I'm not an Apple user, but the only thing I can suggest is that you log into forum using your phone, you should then be able to download photos to your post.
Hope this might help you, if not perhaps a iPhone user will come to the rescue.

Again I am not an Apple user but I upload my files to the cloud then post from there rather than direct from my phone.

In addition a goody bag filled with fire extinguisher, Volvo cleaning kit, detailing kit etc etc. Unbelievable. The drive home was superb, car quieter than I imagined it would be, air suspension a dream and more responsive than my old D5 without question. Best car buying experience ever.
Keep you updated when I have a few miles on the clock but so glad I decided to buy another Volvo.
Was this in Chelmsford? I got my XC90 from there and I was impressed with the handover even though I didn't get the full works induction due to the guy being on holiday.

Yes it was Waterhouse Volvo. The chap that did the handover was totally knowledgeable, nothing caught him out and he covered everything.

Still having problems. How did you send your photos.
First day driving. Covered 97 miles at 32.7 mpg using premium fuel. Very mixed journey half at steady 70 mph the rest mixed local roads. Very pleased considering a new engine.
Loved the Pilot assist will be using this whenever possible. Tried Parking In, worked perfectly and amazing to watch it do all the work. Tried a short distance using Dynamic mode and was more than impressed. All in I am delighted with the car and love it. It's now very dirty and I think that wheel mud guards are a necessity so ordered a set. £180 fitted and should be done on Saturday morning.

I'm using my tablet , I take the picture with it, I post with it and then add the photo as an attachment. This is why I suggested you do the same with your iPhone as it's basically a tablet that you can make calls with.
Have you got a younger member of the family who can help you. I'm fairly computer literate but not a good teacher.
The other way is to transfer photos via Bluetooth to your computer/laptop.
I'm glad you are enjoying your car and getting to grips with it. You will have to give it a wash now, unfortunately it soon looses its newness.
