i went to the volvo dealership last week to check out the xc60 - did not like the floaty suv ride or the cabin noise
the salesman suggested i try the V60 CC - i went for a 30 min local + highway ride and really liked it - also it felt quicker than the t6 xc60 - the cabin was definitely quieter than the t6 xc60
likes in no specific order - ride height - amazing seats - nice acceleration (compared to the 2.0t audi allroad), very quiet cabin, smooth ride
i decided to lease it - it was the only car in the area, it had the convenience package, heated seats and BLIS - the lease number was reasonable - definitely compared to a similarly equipped allroad - it was slightly higher than an xc60 - availability ?
i was to pickup the car the next day - after doing some research that night, called to ask if they could get me one with the platinum package because i am used to the xenon lights and premium bose audio in my audis for 10+ years (it would have been HK in the Volvo) - was told there are no cars in the north east with my specs and they could build me one - would take 3 months - i did not want to wait.
we have had a lot of snow, some rain and a blizzard in the week since i picked it up - i've been enjoying the car - i don't see any difference in the AWD between this and the audi though this supposedly kicks in only when the wheels slip - i seem to need to apply more pressure while braking than in an audi
the kids complain about the leg room in the back - the last car was an a6 - but seem to like the technology in this car better
the acceleration is smooth going up hills - though not as fast the a6 3.0t - the seats are just amazing - no body roll around curves - just the seats can justify my purchase of the V60 CC
the blind spot detection is very practical during my daily commute, the cross traffic detection helps backing out from the local convenience store parking lot less stressful
the bluetooth audio streaming quality from my iPhone was poor - no issues with usb audio quality
the voice recognition is very robust for both the phone and navigation
after having driven 400 miles, my only regret is that i couldn't get one with the platinum package in the timeframe i wanted - very happy with the car overall.
