Stereo crackled when the heated rear screen was switched on - new rear screen fitted under warranty.
Intermittent creak from the rear, unable to trace at the minute, checks show nothings wrong, could be the exhaust..
Fantastic comfort, I drive it for hours on end and the seats are amazing!
The ride can become a little rough on bad surfaces, but it generally glides around in a softish, relaxing way!
Always gets good comments, my friends can't believe how nice modern Volvo's are!
Performance is great, the surge from the turbo is addictive! It just keeps on accelerating! May get it chipped, I've driven the 185 model and it did feel that little bit quicker..
It does sound a bit to 'dieselly' sometimes which can be annoying, but minor compared to the plus point of 35mpg around town with spirited driving!
Update! The car's now done over 43,000 miles and I've had no problems. The creak from the rear went a long time ago, don't know what it was, but it's gone now anyway!
I'm averaging 40mpg now with mostly town driving. It is an auto and I don't hang around, so can't complain!
Main dealer wanted £420 for a basic service! I used my Local Volvo specialist instead and they did a warranty service for £200, which included a £30 pollen filter. Why are main dealers so expensive?!
I've had 3 headlight bulbs replaced so far, very common with Volvo's. The Specialist changes them for £10, including the bulb. I can't get to it to do it myself, my hand was bleeding when I tried!
