What I am struggling with though is what looks like poor support and service from Volvo.
Have just notched up 19,000 miles, since delivery last September, have to say my local dealer (Mill) has been pretty good and haven't had any major issues.


The last two weeks have driven around 2,000 miles in France and road noise was more apparent when we got back to the UK, having not noticed at all in France, maybe it's the quality of road surfacing in the UK and the XC90 compatibility with it?

VoC app came into it's own, when I couldn't remember where I'd parked the car in Bordeaux.

Every car I've taken to France has been quieter than in the UK. The higher temperatures in France can also make a difference.

Were you sampling the wine by any chance?

A desperate to park the car somewhere in the city and get some lunch. Good job it was before the VoC server crashed, otherwise I would have been stuck.

Yes, but not the 3rd row climate nor power folding headrests.
