How are folks getting along with the T4 engine? Would be interested in thoughts..
Picked mine up today and I’m pleasantly surprised with the engine. I’ve come from a 320 BHP 6 six cylinder and whilst it’s nowehere near as quick, it’s fine and very good on the motorway.

Pilot assist is witch craft!

It certainly is witchcraft. On my test drive I took it the route I commute, 20 miles of motorway. Car just drives the whole way by itself. Going to make my commute so much better now. I think I'll invest in some classical music to listen to so I can unwind while getting 'chauffeured' to and from work hehe

You can switch off lane departure, it’s hidden in car settings. Swipe down.
You can't. You can choose between warn (vibrate wheel), assist (Steer wheel), or both. But not completely off.

I might be wrong but I’m sure Neil said during the handover you could turn it off. I will try tomorrow.

After not finding a way to do it on the CC it was a question I specifically had on handover for mine. Sales manager said sadly no.

You can turn it off. Swipe left to reveal the assist menus. Turn it off. Job jobbed.

Antone gone for the T6 Cross Country Pro? 2.0 Turbo and Supercharged 320BHP. Sounds interesting...

This reviewer seems to enjoy it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FayKAK3Qg2o

Does anyone know about any deals on the R Design Pro + Xenium pack? The 'must tick all boxes' in me is making me want something more than the Momentum but I might be being a bit silly as its PCH! Happy to pay a bit more for the spec though.

Its one of my daily alerts and my head is still saying 'no,' but your vid is currently reappraising that smile
Currently at 350/month on a 6x23 or 36 for my usual 8k miles

I may be somewhat naive in holding out for a D5 AWD R Design that I saw at 300 on the above terms before I was in a position to proceed

Does anyone know of a link to easily see the difference between the 18 and 18.5MY changes for the V90 please?
Im aware most models now get front parking sensors and the online services - if its anything like my BMW Connected App its 15 mins of fun at best - but am not sure what else is being given away with the price hike

Cheers

Those who are still awaiting their V90 may want a read of this - my dealer is claiming Volvo have withdrawn the support for the pricing I ordered against back in Feb: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Jesus mate, so sorry to hear that. I'd be absolutely fuming as I'm sure you are. Surely to god they can't just do that after you've left a deposit and gone through all the checks? And to do it on the day you where due to collect the car is a disgrace.

I'd be taking it further if I where you. Really hope they see sense and sort it out.

It seems there are a few in the dealer network for immediate delivery. I've been quoted a little over £400 on a 3+23 with privacy glass on 10k per year. No fees either.
Sounds pretty good value to me on a 52k car. I make it 20%

Shocking. I can't quite believe this has actually happened. Getting a call just before collection to tell you there is no car is just horrendous.

Amazing, I posted in this thread about this exact thing - appears to have been ignored. read back a couple of pages and see my plight.

Currently looking for another deal on another car.

Was it the same dealer? I'm amazed that any dealer can behave in this manor.

Different dealer, I won’t name them as I don’t really think it’s fair too as they have equally been put in an awkward position.

I would just urge people who have open orders to check and ensure things are going to plan at this point rather than getting down the line and being told they can have the car but at £85 per month more than agreed at the time of order as was my case.

£85pm extra is about £2k over 2 years. Surely the dealer can absorb that?
