Default New Member with Volvo #8> 2020 XC60

First one was a 240 DL in around 1977.
So current buy was a 2020 XC60 T5 CPO'd car from Carlsbad Volvo in San Diego.
It's black on black which was not a first choice but it has good miles, all service records and well cared for.

After 2 months the impressions are as follows:
It's loaded with about every option and I thought the fact the center screen was the main control for the entire car would bother me. It doesn't really

Interesting "brake while in place with foot off the pedal" function. Useful? Eh.

Rides nice and the Performance Mode is surprisingly aggressive.

Nice Harmon Kardon, yes.

Reasonable lane anti-drift function. I have that on my 2019 Outback and it's better than this.

Do you guys really use 91 octane?

I had the caliper painted red with an epoxy paint.

Just the right size. I don't need huge for more than one reason.

Good stock roof racks

Mediocre auto open with foot motion tailgate.

Turning radius is fine and steering is light.

Brakes....fair. Nothing special. A slight bit of shimmy so will be discussing that with dealership

The one thing I hate like you've never heard this before: The Auto Stop (if that's the term) function. If it was smooth on the restart then OK I got used to it on the 2017 XC Wagon I had. But this is NOT smooth. It jerks and frankly it's a bit dangerous. I understand that this function cannot be disabled. How do I get this function disabled. I am all about climate, saving gas but this is not a seamless nor friendly function.

Thanks and glad to be here.
