Went to Ovlov dealer today. Loved the Osmium Grey inside the showroom but not so much outside. In the end ordered Denim Blue with Blond/Charcoal. 3+23 5kpa £265.20 per month. Passat Alltrack doesn't go back until end of May.

How far forward will they book these? Need to arrange something in November, and this looks the ticket

Got mine in and it was approved today.

T5 R Design in Crystal white. Had to act quickly to secure the deal and the local dealer is useless so perhaps someone could confirm a few points.

- Does the nav includes a head up display
- What's the connectivity like on the standard Sensus system.

I've read conflicting info regarding using my handset as a mobile hotspot which will allow me to browse the web on the screen and download Apps including Spotify.

If it's a 10 week wait it should be registered on a new 18 plate too

Gone for the same colour combo as you.
Reminded me of the Chimaera I used to have (sort of)! 6+23 5k momentum but with front park assist for some added parking security £247.30/month. Really pleased with the service from icarlease. Roll on May!

I also went with the blond/charcoal interior sit in one last week, prefered it than the black it makes the interior looks super expensive. That's why I didn't go for the r-design because blond isn't even an option.

HUD is an extra option

Can’t answer the Sensus option as this will be my first Volvo

I'm a fan of the lighter interiors (had selected the grey on the failed A6 deal) so if I go for XC60, I'll go for the blond/charcoal interior on the XC60 as I think it looks nice and spacious with the light headlining too. Exterior choice would be 714 Osmium grey as it should match our X6 in space grey when side by side on the driveway.

I haven't signed up yet but I've done the initial enquiries as its a tough call going for the XC60 as SUV's drive so much differently than a regular car. Even the X6 with its torque vectoring, 315 width tyres, sports suspension and over 300BHP still feels more SUV than car like when driving it, despite it being designed as a drivers car. I need to make my mind up today though, otherwise its goodbye to the XC60 deal.

Based on driving the X6, I have to say, its probably best to go for the smaller alloys and non r line suspension to give the best ride quality. From the reviews I've read and watched on youtube, the r line suspension and bigger alloys don't do the car any favours - it tries to make the car more sporty but ultimately, sacrafices comfort with little gains on handling. Its more crashy with the bigger alloys too from what I've gleaned from the reviews. This is exactly how I would describe the X6 with its big alloys and firm suspension - crashy to drive but at least it somewhat achieves its objective of being sporty to drive. It seems the XC60 hasn't achieved this.

On the otherhand though, the car simply looks better in r line trim - better kerb appeal and the rear is so much nicer as well, with the way they have the full body coloured bumpers combined with the inset tailpipes.

Overall, its a toss up between looks and ride quality the way I see things and with the blond interior available on momentum, that's a key factor for me. For those going for the r line - just bear in mind what you gain (better looking car) and what you give up (ride comfort quality)

Have the deal signed and ordered ..

If i wanted to add an option like front parking sensors would it be possible to pay that outright and get it added to the car without haveing to change finance terms etc..?

I asked the same question and it wasn't possible without reprocessing a finance agreement. Nor could it be paid for separately.

I put an enquiry in for one of these with icarlease on christmas eve. Heard nothing since so I called this afternoon at 2pm, to find out the web enquiries got to Andrew, who is on leave, and that it was now too late to go through the process of quoting for me and getting finance approved.

Ordered the XC60 for June delivery. Osmium grey with blonde/charcoal interior. It’s going to be difficult to wait now

I’m regretting playing it safe with black leather, hopefully I can change the leather colour next week to the Blonde...

Quality just looks different with blonde I think.

Yeah you should be able to change hopefully

Yeah blonde does looks a premium interior, don’t think it will suit the silver so it’ll be a colour change too! More choices.... thinking denim blue, would go grey but had so many grey VW’s

Anyone seen the maroon brown in real life?

Really like the blonde colour and my number 1 choice but have a little one on the way and in 18 months time when he's spitting up apple juice etc all over the place the darker leather would be more suitable ...

can't see why you can't pay for options using credit card without adding to monthly payments. Did it on my last 2 Golf R's..

I requested this for Debbie today

Let us know the outcome, I wanted to add front sensors but couldn’t. Ta
