I'm 44 (going on 12).

I've never owned a Volvo before but have had plenty of BMWs and AUDIs. Wanted to switch to me having the "big family car" as opposed to my wife so started looking at what was on the market.

One of my main criteria was that the next car MUST have Android Auto and whilst the GLC43 I looked at had the option I'm really not a Merc fan. BMW don't support it (and won't it seems) which left Alfa, eeerm, NO!

Fell in love with the new XC60 and I'm picking up a new T5 Inscription Pro in Fusion Red next friday (fingers crossed).

I have a strong suspiscion I'll be ordering an XC40 as soon as the Mrs drives the new one!

I'm 27 bought my first Volvo S40 at 22, just sold that and replaced it with a XC90 2007 D5!

I'd say Volvos aren't just for arl'farts, but looking at this thread I might be wrong
