V60 T8 PE (extended) 1 week in

[007]

First, wow, what an astounding piece of kit. Both delicate and demonic

A few observations come questions for those of you who a bit longer in the tooth ownership wise.

1 how the hell do you reach the bonnet to close it? Is there different height settings?

2 didn’t expect an exhaust valve, what is the purpose? Warm up quicker? (I know the normal reason but it is right at the exit on OS.

3. Dealer suggested using WiFi from phone and not using sim and modem in car, thoughts advantages disadvantages?

4. There has really been a lot of effort gone into making this monster maximise mpg, even got a shutter over intercooler, guess for faster warm up.

5. B mode rocks, it is not sensible or safe to drive an auto ‘with gusto’ around the bends due to the run on and lack of engine braking. B mode is a welcome addition which keeps the brakes on easy street and simulates a really aggressive engine braking like a highly timed engine. For someone who hated the single pedal notion, I really could be converted after using B mode.

6. Suspension on 9 front and 12 rear as delivered.

7. B&W sound has had mixed reviews online, I think it’s beautifully balanced

8. Documentation is crap

9. Legroom all around and boot space is more than ample, although still playing with seat after a week
