Has anyone had theirs for a decent amount of time and willing to tell me about how you faired with it?

They're looking good value nowadays after depreciation and still have a nice engine other than the usual 4 banger fart boxes. Love the rebel blue, but also swaying to black for more 'undercover cop' sleeper style.

Are they tunable much and is there much aftermarket support for them? All the boring stuff like tyres, brakes (heard they're ££££ for a set of fronts), other consumables etc etc

I love a left field choice but just logically thinking with volvo they'll be reliable, safe and pretty well built. Aswell as rare. Cheers 👍

Thanks mate. Good thread!

Owners seem really happy with them when they own theirs, but then you get the bashing from people who haven't even driven one. Really confuses me haha

These are a really interesting option in the £20-30k fast compact estate category, and on paper a Golf R estate, 340i touring, s4 avant seems to make more sense, but the Polestar has rarity and some trick suspension on its side. Downsides seem to be the weight, price of brakes, and not a huge boot for an estate. I'd like to test drive one, but being rare that might be hard. Maybe it's one of those cars that's just great to live with, as owners seem to really like them. It's a shame there isn't am equivalent with the latest V60, because that's a much better looking car.
