    70 K for a stiff, crashy ride and probably bad steering feel doesn’t seem a good package to me. All the good things about it is overshadowed by the ride and pre-programmed rattles. Ask me how I know lol! I sold my previous gen V60 with a huge loss. That’s how disappointed I was. Any german car beats the sh out of this fakery. In fact I find that even a Golf rides better than the V60. Apart from the looks and “image” Volvo has nothing much going for it.

    The infotainment system is really horrible compared to example BMW... Design on the main screen and what options, features etc you have in the Volvo is very limited and confusing. Also you are not able to change any layout in the DIM except if you want to show Google Maps in the middle or not. And using Google in the car is so bad integration too and their way of presenting settings is not good either. There are no longer any paddle shifters (if you like those) and the placement of the + and - for the gearlever, if you want to use that, is as dumb as it can be. Also the hard plastic hollow sound with the locking and unlocking of the car so not something you look for in the price. Unfortunately they have moved away from driving a car to just ride. They were really on a good way with the "real" previous Polestar cars of S60 and V60. After 2018 everything has changed. Even removed the Drive Mode wheel that was behind the Start button before is now gone... in this price range just pick a BMW Touring, likely the G21 M340i and you will be way more happy and get a better car in every way (drivetrain, chassi, build quality, material, infotainment, engine sound etc) for the money.

    I have a ‘22 XC60 T8 Extended Range which is similar in performance. Just missing the suspension, B&W & the goldie bits 😂 absolutely LOVE this car. A couple gripes: I wish there was an indicator that tells you the charge door is open though. Infotainment has improved but it’s true the drive modes are annoying to access. No HD Radio or radio text info! The Sensus Volvos had this available, kind of a weird omission on such expensive vehicles.

    This was one of the cars i was considering for a fun family hauler well the fk8 at the time. I looked into fk8, ISF, and ‘16 SS. ISF only had 4 seats so that was out, type r had 6MT and seats 5 but overall just maybe a bit too small for the car seat we were using and the stroller we had. The SS checked pretty much checked all the boxes 6mt, ls3, 4 doors, seats 5, and huge trunk. I wouldve loved to check out a m340i or GSF but none in my area in my price range. Type r definitely looks like a fun car around corners, and would love to drive one someday. Congrats on the addition to your family.

    I cannot get the pedal dance to work reliably on my 2024 CTR. I read that on the FL5 you can press the VSA off for 5 seconds and get a message "Vehicle Stability Assist FULLY OFF" as a warning notification (the Amber "i" in a circle appears and a click on it displays the message). Does this disable traction control as well? EDIT - Found this in the User Manual: When in +R Drive mode In OFF mode, your vehicle will have normal braking and cornering ability, but it will not have VSA® traction and stability enhancement. When the VSA® system is off, the traction control system is also off

  • @sergiomazza2739

    I own both A Ford Mustang Mach E (2 years old) and a brand new Cadillac Lyriq. The Cadillac app is so slow that it is basically useless for remote starting or opening the doors etc. The Ford app is FAR superior. The Cadillac app is also hugely inaccurate in telling me where public charge locations are. I use PlugShare instead because the myCadillac app is useless. If you're going to put out a software product, at least benchmark yourselves against what is already out there and do better so that you can live up to the Cadillac brand. The car itself is wonderful, the car software and UI not so much. The garage remote was very difficult to program and won't activate the garage doors unless you're within 5 ft of the door. The integration with Google Auto is often glitchy and sometimes won't work at all. Kudos for thinking about a phone switching function that actually works well, even if it is slow.
