Why would it even have a jack? It has no spare wheel. They clearly expect you to call out a tyre repair / rescue truck if you have a puncture.
And these things are clearly not aimed at people who lift their own bonnets and tinker/service/repair.

He is an "acquired taste" for sure, but having seen a few of his videos, he does seem to know his stuff and does do more in-depth/wide-ranging reviews than many, and manages to point out stuff many reviewers do not.

Turn the volume down a bit, turn on subtitles, and maybe speed up to 1.25x playback speed. I usually watch him like this.

I've closed this for the time being until I have time to clear it up and remove all the covid / conspiracy / anti Vax and other unrelated rubbish.

If you've posted in this thread in the last few days and mentioned covid, vaccines, or generally taken this thread off topic, consider yourself on your final warning.

One or two of you have already lost access to the lounge, you're going the right way to loosing access to the whole forum.

I'm sat in my hotel as I'm working away so will do a little maintenance and bin the off topic 'drivel'

Ok I think I have removed all the "casual misogyny Vs woke debate" (hopefully that does/doesn't offend the relevant parties suitably.

I can't be bothered to dish out punishments as the bar awaits and I have expenses to abuse. I'll leave James to look into that later.

Re opening the thread keep it on topic and play nice.

Ok lets get the ball rolling again eh.

Recently I sat in a brand new XC90 and tbh even if I had the money there is no way I'd buy that car for the current askings, as the EV EX90 is going to be very similar in look and feel I can't see how Volvo expects to shift many at what they've going to be asking for one.

So I'm not misunderstood it's not that I didn't like the car, but it just didn't have any pop about it imo and it gave me the feeling I'd find it very tiresome to drive especially in tight urban areas.

It's about comparing it to other similar cars I guess.... Is it any more expensive than them, worse, better specced etc.

Would I buy one - no

If I were in the market for a large luxury suv - I'd have a look.
