Hi John,
I’m glad you’re enjoying. It can be confusing when viewing YouTube videos as most show well specced cars (as already mentioned) and also videos outside the UK can also show different standard specs. For example, the US and Canada get BLIS (Blind spot monitoring) as standard. Here, it’s an extra.
I also had many failed due dates and my dealer actually said he didn’t like to give due dates!! And my keys were just dumped on the desk and I had to dig my car out of the compound. I wonder if your dealer is Chester as mine is?
I, too, ended up talking to Volvo direct and had exactly the same result. My car suddenly appeared when, at the time of another due date, I’d just been told by the dealer to expect another 3 month delay. From my discussions with Volvo over about a month, I am pretty sure that the dealer sold my first car and was about to sell the second when Volvo intervened.
That aside though, I love the car. Getting in and out is great, the heated seats really help, the ride cushions the bumps really well and of course it looks amazing.
The phone app took me a couple of days to sort but I got there eventually and I’m finding it really good. Much better than the BMW app of my previous car.
Hopefully, now that you have the car, the dealer experience will fade and you’ll start to use and enjoy your beautiful new ride.
On another note regarding the early MY21 cars only having one main key, I believe that Volvo have now relented and the Late MY21 cars now have two keys again. This leaves a batch of cars the road, produced mid-late 2021 with only one key.
I have a case live with the Motor Ombudsman and so I’m hopeful I will receive another key soon.
If we didn’t use the driver profiles for the settings, I probably wouldn’t bother but it’s a real pain, literally, only having the one.
? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
