Don’t drive so cannot review from a driving point of view, but hubby loves it, had our own xc60 a few years back and he says it’s like coming home!

The seats are comfy, heated seats so it eases my spine, it’s easy for me to get in and out of without any problems.

The t3 has a slightly strange rhythm to the engine but it’s not noisy in fact inside it’s very quiet inside, fast enough for hubby at road junctions etc, not the slowest! Averaging around the area, town and country, 35 mpg, but on a country drive yesterday said we were getting 43.7 mpg, which for an SUV, will take it, especially considering we have only done 250 miles.

Active bendy lights brilliant, as hubby says one less thing to worry about, it’s very quick to dip and go back to main. The puddle light lights up the ground well so I can see the ground, and hopefully, miss getting my feet wet.

We added Blis, which is good, nice big orange light in the mirror when cars are in blind spot and the auto dimming rear mirrors stop dazzling. The inside is lit up just enough at night, the Crystal gear shift lights up as well. City safe works great too, some idiot yesterday decided to do a last minute right turn, car didn’t think hubby was braking enough so it took over. I said ooh the brake lights would be flashing but hubby said the man behind was more interested in stopping, had a worried look on his face!

All in all, we’re delighted, glad we were able to order before the price rise on 1st Jan, gone up a ridiculous amount!

Hi Vinnie

Glad your enjoying your new car, just wondering if your the first reviewer to review a car from the point of view of the disabled passenger, you could be setting a trend here.?

With myself I’m a disabled driver and the wife doesn’t drive but she never tells me what she does not like about car until at least five years has passed since it got passed on.

Hi Chris

I used to drive before, friends called me Stirling, not sure why ?! My family were involved in racing/rallying, my cousin has a trophy room of various rallies he won with my other cousin, my dad was a mechanic so I’ve been around cars as a child. I would say I’m more interested in them than hubby, he always says as long as it drives, to me it was 0-60 and how many horses! Afraid our son’s like this, but daughter is more like hubby!

I thought it might just be nice to give a passenger view as not all of us drive.

Happy Easter everyone.
