Hey yall!

My name is Caleb and I'm at the beginning of my Volvo lineage 😉. For now, I am solely leasing my cars, but I care about the performance, maintenance, and cleanliness just the same as I would with an owned car.

Since my lease was ending, I recently returned my 2021 XC60 T6 with all the bells and whistles - ventilated leather seats with heating+cooling in the front and rear, heated wiper blades which came in handy in the winter, heads up display, full 360-degree cameras, pilot assist + adaptive cruise control, park assist, air quality control, Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system, etc. I absolutely would have bought the car at the end of the lease, but the buyout would have left me with negative equity. Boy that car was an absolute dream. Being a techy person, I took advantage of everything that car had to offer. Unfortunately, when it came time to lease a new car, that left me with very few options due to the tech and inventory Volvo dealers in my area had to offer.

I ended up getting a 2023 XC60 B6 as a replacement, and right off the bat, it's just not filling the huge shoes left behind by my old car. I'll be posting my gripes in the appropriate forum shortly in hopes that I may be able to modify some settings or potentially to relate with others experiencing the same lacking features. The one thing this car has over my old one is the 4-corner air suspension. That was a luxury I didn't know I was missing out on 😅 - bumps are now just bounces.

I'm happy to be here and hope to meet some of you like-minded Volvo enthusiasts soon!

- Caleb
