You've got mail (my first reflections on my car)
 
I was so confused when I got in my Volvo this evening and the screen read "1 new message." Thats something I expect to see on my phone, not in my car. I was driving my friend somewhere, so I looked at him and let him know my car had 1 new message.

My Camaro is only 4 years older than the S60, and for the past few years I have been driving 04/05 Hondas in the winter... its not like the S60 is that much newer than other cars I have driven. I'm just baffled by all of the random functions in it. I have been so used to straight forward cars that this is blowing my mind. In the Camaro it is like... slide a knob, something happens. The Volvo is so much more complicated than that. I don't have issues with it, its just a huge difference.

My only real complaint is that when you are changing the volume of the stereo, it doesn't tell you what level it is at. Not a huge deal at all, but still something I would change.
Great cars. Still trying to learn more about them though!


(The message was telling me that my washer fluid was low. I'm surprised there isn't a button to make it refill itself.)

I hate not seeing the volume also.

At least the message did not tell you that you had a payment past due. LOL I wish cars would reset the volume to 20% when you turn them off or mute them. I like the pause option on my stereos.
