Ended up ordering the PHEV Sportage. Over 3 years I think I’ll save around £2,500 vs the Volvo V60, so whenever I get envious seeing a V60 on the road, I’ll remind myself that the £2,500 will go towards completing some more sections of Route66.
Even though the Sportage is due to recieve an update it’s still more modern inside compared to the Volvo, unless it was the T8 of course. I had 2010 proper polestar engineered V60, which was sadly the last performance inspired car before finally joining the scheme.
You will be happy with the Sportage, having had one previously and of course no more PPF issues and added bit of grunt to go with it, whils’t saving a few bob.
