Calling V60 T6 Polestar Owners

[EWAC]

last weekend I picked up my Polestar and it got me thinking as there aren't many about!

I was thinking of using this thread to create a list of owners, whether to just share experiences or even keep a list of owners if one is to ever go missing

So if your an owner, come and join the party

Without de-railing the thread. As I can only dream of owning a Polestar. Would you mind uploading some photos and a mini owners review?

You will find that they are not as rare as you think - lots of people here have it and the little blue badge on the back of the car is sadly no longer unique

I guess that is the cross we have to bear for buying popular cars (or cars that became popular )

I was under the impression OP owned an actual 3.0 T6 Polestar(350hp) not paid for the remap on D3 and little blue badge? Hence the title of the topic.

Correct its not a remap and badge

I stand corrected - but would ask if it isn't remapped what is the polestar bit in the title doing that I was referring to?

Hi. I have just bought a V60 Polestar in Ice white. My brother-in-law picked the car up from Parks Volvo in Ayr on Saturday. Unfortunately i'm in Hong Kong at the moment and will have to wait three weeks to see and drive this beautiful machine. It was pre-registered in March but has only 154 miles on the clock. I have attached a few photos of the car. How are you enjoying your own car? There are some great youtube videos on the car including one from Autocar.

I've seen a few that have been on the Dyno and they seem to produce a bit more than 350bhp and 369ft lbs, more like 380bhp and 410ft lb.

The polestar mapped t6s v60s, xc60s are fast than Volvo claim, a couple of large mags had to test a few of them in one road test as they were a lot faster than Volvo quoted. Xc60s 0-60 5.5 have been tested quite a few times, one mag said "who knew Volvo underestimate there performance" I know it's not there selling point performance, but if your selling a performance version you'd think testing it would be advisable.

Can one of you guys Dyno one please, as it would be interesting to know.

Checking on 'autotrader' there are around a dozen of these cars still gathering dust at dealers around the UK some 12 months after coming into stock.

It would seem that Volvo misjudged , to put it gently, the value the UK market would attach to these cars, certainly nowhere close to the original asking price close to £50,000.

'nearly new', pre registered or under some other subterfuge they seem to be close on £30,000 now and will probably be sub £20,000 this time next year.

I know several who have driven one and they have certainly been impressed by the handling although none would have paid the asking price and it seems still find them novelties that they might consider when they are priced sensibly some time quite soon....

Apparently the upcoming V40 p* will not be offered here in the UK, maybe, somewhat like our Aussie cousins with their really lukewarm OZ market p*s, Volvo have sussed that we are not as green as we are cabbage looking and wont be suckered by their greedy , unrealistic and uninformed pricing.

I originally enquired about one before they came out and was surprised to see the 50k price tag! Hence why i waited as i was sure they were going to take a hit!
But now i got one (just over 30K and very low miles) i am well happy, and plan to keep it for some time so don't mind a further price drop....would rather get one now instead of waiting and looking at some rough ones later on with patchy history....
