Best - far far better than any other car my company have previously funded!

Worst - following satnav guidance and then answering an incoming phone call.. boings and beeps every couple of seconds, presumably warning of a direction change? I don’t know, and a proper pain in the arse because they are short tones you can’t knock the volume down quick enough without turning the phone conversation down..

Getting to know my S90

Best - Almost everything, but especially: Pilot Assist; the cabin quality; and the amazing lease deals (S90)

Worst - Rough engine when cold; and trying to manoeuvre something this size through my tiny work car-park (not to mention the problem finding a space it will fit in).

If you hit the mute button within the sat nav window the beeps will stop.

I don't agree with you about not being a premium brand. Maybe it's not yet there...it's a runner-up and maybe a 2 or so steps away from the german rivals but it's a premium brand. Give it time and you'll see. Looking back we all have to admit Volvo has acomplished significant major results in these last few years.

Cheers - I sometimes do that, but then you have to un-mute when you finish the call.
And then someone else rings.... Yep, don’t like this feature!

Best: Stylish minimalist interior, feels and looks expensive car in and out, mechanical refinement, safety, advanced LED headlights with Active Bending Lights (high beam) good sound system even the H&K one. driving position adjustments. good interior space.


Worst : Poor Interior illumination high level, software bugs, indecisive gearbox, Uninspiring handling.

I wish it would remember this setting, like the old Sensus Nav.

My favorite? It is THE safest vehicle ever tested by EuroNCAP. And it looks great, inside-out, while being super comfy and feeding my frenzy for hi tech

Worst? I’ll give you two: The overly conservative, uncustomizable driver and sensus displays. The totally useless tiny ski hatch that replaced the 40-20-40 split rear bench.

BEST: Design & Safety

WORST:
* lack of inductive charging
* lack of three-way split in the back seats
* forgetting just adjusted heated seats/steering wheel settings after restarting the car after 10 seconds
