    Well done! 2010 XC60 owner 🇨🇦. Solid vehicle, a real tank but not perfect. Had issues with the sunroof. Known issue, Volvo was pursued in US (North America for this) to no avail. Cost me about 2000$ to repair 🤨. Heated mirrors burned out as did the brittle wiring to them. My 2003 Honda Odyssey both heated mirrors still functional. For a ‘Nordic’ vehicle this is a HUGE fail in my books. Suspension (notably coil springs) back and front are somewhat sub-par. I don’t off road but have had vehicles whose suspension has lasted much longer. Perhaps issue was the shocks.. Suspension overall; 🫤 Handling is good however. T6 R design 20 inch wheels but $$$$$$$ for replacement tires. Using 17 rims for winter use, much smoother ride with higher sidewalls and less expensive for tires. I feel every crack in the road with my 20’s. Parts can be expensive, but the service has been very good (it has to be!! 😉) Shop around for parts. I do most of my maintenance but I know when I’m beat and have a garage do the work. Bigger oil pan on the T6 because of the turbo charger so oil changes are $$$$$.. which is why I do them myself. I save about half on a 150$ oil change..Cheers! ✈️

    On a test-drive/inspection, can one force the REX engine come on to check it's operation? On the US model. Especially in combination with recommendation to test-drive on an 80% or greater charge, to be able to judge battery health.

    • @themilesdriven
      @themilesdriven Před 7 dny

      Yes the car can be put into a mode that forces the engine on for inspections and emissions testing. Open boot/trunk, press ‘on’ switch, press accelerator pedal all the way, pump the brakes 3 times and then hold, press power button again, this will put the car into its test mode and force the motor to start. There is a good CZcams video of a guy doing this, I’ll edit this comment shortly and add a link to that video 👍 m.czcams.com/video/ZW3C_vHbxdQ/video.html

E.g. czcams.com/video/-umDh9pRCYk/video.html and czcams.com/video/yAx3WrjKUW4/video.html. I guess the only issue left is conflict between: wanting to test at full charge to see battery; and <75% charge to run the REX. I guess start full and do long enough test drive to use >25% of the battery!

    One thing that may happen on the M73 is the head bolts snapping. You will chase a coolant leak message and will see no leaks anywhere. Then you think you have a crack somewhere until you find a head bolt snapped... Being there and saw it many times. The block on these are damn solid but if you ever have a coolant hose go and the engine runs warmer for a bit, almost certain a head bolt will go.

    My 2022 ND2 had the issue with the roof rubbing against the roll hoop. It can be a big problem if left unaddressed because the rubbing can wear a hole into your convertible top, which is an expensive fix if you don't catch it within the warranty period, which can easily happen depending on how infrequently you put the top down. It doesn't just affect older models. It only happens if you push your seat all the way back.

    Got my 2004 roadster GT RS in Australia. Couldn’t be more happier. After owning the NC for ten years. It is what it is. Nothing more nothing less. So grateful to Mazda for keeping it the real roadster it was originally built for.

    2020 club owner here. Be on the lookout for your infotainment screen getting delaminated from the inside. This is due to sudden temperature change inside the cabin which in turn causes the adhesive on the inside of the screen to delaminate. If you have your AC on cold full blast on a hot sunny day and you park your car in direct sunlight which heats the infotainment screen assembly, it will happen. It looks like a bunch of spider webs or frozen ice crystals. I'm taking mine to the dealership in a couple of days to see if the warranty will cover it.

    Why every Miata owner out always says something about put a smile on your face. I have cx5. It doesn’t do that to my face. 😅

      I own an MX-5 RF and although I love driving it, I can’t say that it always puts a smile on my face. That is just marketing talk 😄.

    My press car this week is the Club trim. I’ve had a smile on my face the entire time.

    I own a 2015 981 GTS. I believe I’ve got the highest mileage 981 GTS ever at 284k Kms haha. Still running.

    You can retro fit the reach steering column to early cars.

    I drive Volvo since 2007, a S60 2.4 T and an XC60 D5. I'm looking for a new one but I will not buy an S90 made in China or Malayasia...

    I have the facelift and I love it a lot! What an epic car, 1 billion for a facelift?! 😅 But the rear subframe rust is annoying, it's supposedly under extended warranty for 20 years. But the dealers just won't change it unless it's broken or about to collapse. Mercedes is fully ignoring customers on that issue.
