Just picked up my new xC60 R-design....

Warkman · Dec 21st, 2015, 17:38

Lux nav in passion red, D4 AWD.

And it's great. Very pleased with my choice. Still trying to get used to it. Only thing I would say us I wish now I had specced front sensors, but I can add them at any time.

Pictures to follow....

Nice selection, the red does look good on the R-Design

Hope you enjoy it, you may not need front sensors once you get used to the length of the bonnet.

We specified front sensors and don't really use them. In fact the only fault like condition we have experienced was when a leaf stuck itself to one of the front sensors. Every time we slowed down we would get beep beep with nothing nearby. Baffled me for a while....

Wouldn't be without the rear camera though.

That bonnet is a lot shorter than you think, very seldom get the front sensors to beep on mine,as I stop just before they would come on. Enjoy the car!

You will find that as you get use to them you use them more and more, getting into tighter and tighter spaces.

Front sensors and heated windscreen are a must on this car

All that's left now is to get it Polestarred............

Picked mine up today 190 R design D4 xc60 AWD Lux nav winter pack. Onyx black. Looks stunning.

Disappointed with the power. I thought 190bhp would have been not too bad. Also the MPG is not good from what I have seen. I have only driven 30 miles in it, mostly motorway apart from 7 miles it is 30 mph. The display showed 34 mpg !! Shocking. It better improve.

Wish the sat nav was touch screen but everything else okay at the moment.

The D4 AWD geartronic is the slowest in the range - I am assuming it is the 6-speed geartronic. The Polestar upgrade does seem a popular option to lift the performance.

Maybe not a Polestar at those prices for such a small increase when you can have remaps or tuning boxes for bigger gains.

I've used remaps and boxes for years with various manufacturers. Fantastic improvements and never any problems in 15 years of using them.

Ive got an RCZ Hdi running at 205bhp tuning box from 165 and a Vaux Zafira 120 running at 166 bhp, remap, dpf and cat removal, egr disabled and blanked off. Both been on the rolling road.
