After 3 years of v60 ownership I am 85% happy. Car is very comfy for long slogs and good on mpg plus performance is awesome.
Handles OK but not as good as previous a4, interior is not as fancy as audi or merc but it does the job.if I had another one I would upgrade to the Harmon kardon as I went for the middle of the road system and its not a patch on the dynaaudio I had in my vw.
There's a few niggles like front and rear parking sensors are like £700 extra,winter pack is a must in my opinion but extra. No spare wheel at all which has caught me out.
If the phev is on my list I will certainly look at another one due to the cost of ownership
Some of the 'upgrades' are very expensive, it does come nicely specced though. You only get one audio upgrade on the PHEV which is the harmon+kardon.Handles OK but not as good as previous a4, interior is not as fancy as audi or merc but it does the job.if I had another one I would upgrade to the Harmon kardon as I went for the middle of the road system and its not a patch on the dynaaudio I had in my vw.

Just ordered my company car, hopefully end of Sept delivery but will be confirmed this week.
3 + 35 months, 20,000 mpa, fully maintained for £398.52 per month (£1195.56 down)
No options other than metallic and the longer charger cable.
Thats a good deal. I'm paying £450 for the same(well company is) with a couple of options.3 + 35 months, 20,000 mpa, fully maintained for £398.52 per month (£1195.56 down)

Leasepoint, I dealt with Spencer. Who was it through?
I had all but given up on getting one as all other quotes had been £430+ (my limit is £400) so was chuffed to get this quote. Never fancied a Volvo but the BIK saving cant be ignored.

Considering one of these, anyone got one yet?
2 weeks away for myself. I think that's when the first 'batch' arrives.You could have a look at the v60 d6, its exactly the same, just less power. Polestar offer a factory remap to take the engine power back up if you so wish.
Thanks. Thought the d6 was more powerful than the d5......?
I'm two minds: commute is 40 miles each way mostly DCA (or over Dartmoor, less miles but 40 limit and mind all the bloody sheep/cows/ponies sleeping in the road in the dark/fog) and can't plug in at work. However it still seems cheaper overall than say a Golf GTD.

Hi, the way I explained was backwards, the d6 is more powerful, so having a look test of one of those will give you a good impression, the d5 twin is the same package with the engine turned down a little.I'm two minds: commute is 40 miles each way mostly DCA (or over Dartmoor, less miles but 40 limit and mind all the bloody sheep/cows/ponies sleeping in the road in the dark/fog) and can't plug in at work.

I wanted a golf gtd estate, however due to the backwards way we tax cars it would have cost me over twice as much a month in tax. Its mad you can get a car that costs 12k more and pay so much less.
