Another newbie
Hi all,
That is a very nice looking car - no it isn't it is stunning. I think the series II 60 series look stunning in saloon or estate. I have not seen much about the V60 on the forum, unless of course I am looking in the wrong place! I am awaiting delivery (due first week in October) of a V60 Inscription pro T4 in denim blue with a few extras. I have read in some places that the 8 speed gearbox can be hesitant. I had a shortish test drive in an XC40 with box (it was the only one with that engine/gearbox that they had available), and it seemed fine to me. I am not a boy racer (at 67!!!), so I don't do quick getaways. I would be interested in opinions on the car and any tips from the "experts" Regards Pilkers |

I have the V60 T5. I haven't found the gearbox hesitant, but I haven't been trying to keep up with Louis Hamilton. You do feel the changes if you floor the throttle, but they aren't severe.

Thanks guys. It is probably the typical motor journalist thing of feeling they have to justify their salary by finding something to criticise. I am certainly no Lewis Hamilton and fall more into the "considered actions" category than boy racer. It is good to know from real people what the car is like
