I assume your going for Michelin again.

Hi there at present looking to buy a V60 Polestar and after reading your comment s on so call boomy drone noise in the cabin it is making me a little concerned on purchasing.
I have done the research, as you do and one of the youtube clips mentioned this. when joining this sight I was surprised to see that it could be a common problem.
Has any one found a solution to this. I know the suspension can be manually adjusted is it that?. Cant believe its the tyres?
I had a 2001 V70 T5 for many years and loved it, so looking forward to getting back into a even faster Volvo.
Based in Leicester ,have been in touch with the Volvo Main Dealer there and have mentioned this and obviously there not going to tell me it makes a strange noise in the cabin. There job is to sell me a car.

Well look forward to any ones response on this.

You need a serious test drive. The Fosse Way driving north from the Hobby Horse up to the A606 Widmerpool and back again should sort it. Unless they have resurfaced it, there are several miles of good old 'hard wearing' concrete road. There is also a nice new section from the Hobby Horse through to the M1 near Fosse Park. Lots of opportunity to run the car at different speeds. Some cars seems to be noisy, others not. This would be a good test. Tell them that's what you want to do. No test drive, no sale.

Been keeping an eye on these, after the initial depreciation they seem to have stuck at mid 30's. Fantastic looking cars.

This landed through my letterbox today... oddly 5 months after getting the car, but a nice touch none the less.

A few little "about" booklets and a Polestar keyfob with an integrated USB stick (I thought I broke it when I pulled it out at first).



Did everyone else get one of these too?
