It’s so brilliantly engineered. Last night I was picking up my wife in the pouring rain and was wondering where the unlock button was for the door. Of course there was this little orange light on the door that showed locked. It was completely dark out and I was like how thoughtful! I love my “Inga”!
Funny and Volvo-only quirks (if you know, you know)
Anyone have any cool Volvo brand specific quirks? Not simply niceties (of which there are plenty), but Volvo-only features and Easter eggs ? … We know we drive some super special Swedish fish, and I’d like to hear what makes them different from some run of the mill plush mobile …
Some (odd ones) that come to my mind …
1. The windshield washer fluid tank is HUGE. You can dump an entire gallon container of fluid and there will still be room to spare. There was a forum on this website about the tank and the size is honestly like no other … gulp.
2. The Swedish flag on the side of the passenger seat is a fun touch!
3. Volvo’s Tow for Life program, I think, is the only major OEM lifetime assistance and rescue feature. It offers major peace of mind for any breakdown.
4. The rear passenger headrest fold function is a party trick. It is a weapon …
I am missing so many … anyone have others?

The SPA XC90s have the little spider in the bottom of the covers for the 3rd row. A little Easter egg for kids to find.
As far as features... well most of them are a surprise since the owners manual is so horrible these days. =-D

Volvo v70 2001 T5, has a feature what i just realised after 6monts of ownership.
If front wipers are on and you change to reverse the tailgate wipers swipe once, well it was not raining much in Portugal this year, but what a nice touch for a 22yr old car
