Nor a V

Any word on how many 2.0 Polestars are being brought into the UK?

The 3.0 probably sounds better, but the £500 tax is a bit painful and probably won't helpful the ability to resell in due course.

Hopefully they will register a bunch before April '17 so they don't get stung with the new tax rules too.

No idea, but I've seen one at my local dealers, in white, which I'm not keen on

Not keen on the white you mean?

Has to be a blue for me. Looks as if a dealer was doing a couple of delivery mileage ones on here recently for £41,000

Yeah, I'm not a fan of white cars. The rest of the car looks identical to the six cylinder

Was down at Lipscomb Volvo Maidstone today. They have a rebel blue car in the showroom. I do love that colour.

I test drove the black 16 plate 3.0 they currently have for sale. I have to say I was very impressed, what a great all rounder it is. Looks very stealthy but definitely prefer rebel blue.

Looks like the ex PH car sold quickly at Volvo Cardiff, as its disappeared from their site.

The six cylinder sounds SO much better than the four, although the four has more power, 8 speed box and better MPG (and cheaper road tax)

I couldn't stretch to a new car, but apparently they have a couple more 3.0 cars getting traded back in over the next couple of months. Admittedly the tax is a big hit, but I enjoyed the silky smooth 6 cylinder lump and it did sound superb in sports mode 😋

Surely the 6 cylinder has to be the only choice? There are currently 5 for sale on autotrader and a choice of colours too!

Yes I think your right, would have to be 6 cylinder. Although 5 currently advertised, they are all black or white. Really not keen on white cars.
If anyone selling a rebel blue car in next couple of months, please drop me a PM !

I love these but the clunky gearbox might start annoying me if I were to get one and plumped for the six.

Oh to have the six cylinder engine mated to the four pots gearbox!

first I've heard of the clunky gearbox . . . have you driven one ?

[anonymous-user]

The 6 speed AW gearbox isn't terrible and it's certainly not clunky, but it's not exactly state of the art in shift speed and responsiveness.

I am a month into ownership of 14 plate rebel blue with 15k on the clock. I have to say I love it so far, although not had a chance to really test her......
