picked up my new r design se premium

Finally, I managed to get the xc90 I have wanted for so long now. Its a 59 reg, black, with calcite interior. What a different car to my 55 reg. Just that extra few BHP and it makes such a difference, smoother, no pull of turbo lag, and accelerates so much quicker. I can also see where i am going now, the active bending xenons are amazing.
Am hoping to fit the running boards tomorrow, fingers crossed they fit.
A happy boy and the wife is pleased too, even better.

Brilliant car, enjoy it

certainly will.fitted the running boards this morning, easy fit. they are a tight fit against the scrub strip, but are both on tight, and it looks better than the old one as there is no gap and that was always a pain when cleaning, talking of cleaning, being black i noticed how dirty the torrential rain we had yesterday made it. Looking forward to the first of our french holidays in a few weeks.
I will try and post some pics soon, when I get a chance to clean it.

I picked mine up only last Tuesday. Same colour and interior. Very impressed so far especially with the spec. This is my first Volvo SUV.

you wont be disapointed. i used to change my car every year, never owned a car more than 13 months, apart from a cavalier mk2 sri on a d plate,( how I loved that car) expensive hobby, but since getting my last xc90 I kept that for 3 and half years.
