That’s a great idea @Macca. I wasn’t overly worried about a full day test as I tend to only make 20 mins or so until I need a stop. I drove the test car for just under that and I felt more comfortable than in my X1. I’m more than happy with that.
Of the power, as you know, it’ll be a completely different feel to the diesel. Mine’s the BMW 18d, so the most economical tune of the 2.0L engine but it gives a lot of power low down. The Volvo is actually quicker but it doesn’t feel it. You just need to mash your right foot a bit more. It’ll be the first petrol I’ve had for a long time now and the last was a V6 so I’m expecting around the same mpg. I am a little nervous about that and expecting to pay an extra £15-20 a month.
I’ll be interested to hear how you get on. ?
? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
