I guess I'm lucky my wife can't drive so I HAVE to do all the driving and use it for work etc. Even though she is paying for it.

Has she got a sister lol?

Are you a D3 or D5? I forgot to mention that I have geartronic on mine too and also to say how very smooth it is with Imperceptible gear changes.I am sure you will be well pleased with either model.

D5. Had a few D5's in the past (V70/XC70 & 90) - so I am looking forward to the improvements and the increase in bhp.

The increase in power is very noticeable, even given the additional weight of the car! I came from a D5 163 v70 to the D5 205 XC60 - the extra 25% in power is amazing, pity the fuel consumption isn't amazing though

I have lately noticed that the engine is getting quite a bit quieter, less of the tight new diesel sound, and I now hear the whistle of the turbos spooling up when you put your foot down - beautiful sound!
