just curious, what are you getting to replace? what got you ready to move on?
Truth be told...i had a 2015 V60 traded it in for a 2020 Subaru outback, drove it for 25mths, then traded it for current 2022 V60...I'm going back to a 2023 outback 🙄 honestly, I just loved how the outback fits our lifestyle. That being said, the V60 I have now is hands down the nicest car I've owned. Last week I was in buddy's 2023 Porsche Cayenne and it was all cheap plastic...plastic faux leather stitched dash😬 Whoever gets my V60 will be blown away! Sorry for the rant. Cheers

That's awesome, I can understand the draw to driving the vehicles that fit one's lifestyle. Good luck in the new Outback! I too think the V60 is one of the nicest cars that I have driven of my own.

Didn't give the v60 CC a chance haha? Still the outback is a great choice. Did you get the wilderness edition?

Lol...yes sir I did, and I found it much the same just a but higher. Jesus, the R-design is effing low to the ground 🤣 I roll out of the car. I seriously considered the CC but the Touring limited edged it out by a little. Also, If I don't sell it privately before it arrives the trade value they gave me was wayyyy better than Vovlo, sadly 🤷🏻‍♂️

For sure the r design being the sport model is vastly different from the outdoors oriented outback haha. For me i just grew up from a 2010 wrx hatch so getting the ultimate was a natural evolution for me

Anyone else obsessed with the Lighting this car is fitted with? View attachment 179536
I love the Thor's Hammer headlight graphic, but find that the main beams auto-activate way before you really need them. Turns out if you set the switch to "0", you can run with just the hammers at dusk, which looks incredibly badass.

Got the arrival email from my dealer just this week so I snuck into the dealer lot last night to get a sneak peek at my first volvo (though I've driven my dad's s70 and s80). Can't wait for the Friday delivery!
My salesman said it was his first v60 he sold in this colour.
Congrats! I did the exact same thing when mine arrived. Love the new 19" wheel design.

I might just be a “boomer” here but i always turn on and off my lights lol, never cared for auto lights! I do turn on the DRL’s at most times too

One of the little features that I really enjoyed about my previous Subarus was that the headlights always went out when the ignition was turned off. I turned them on once and essentially never turned them off again. I was delighted to learn that Volvos lights are implemented with the same logic.

I'm definitely a boomer (just turned 67), but have embraced auto headlights since the very first car we had with them (wife's '00 Maxima). I very much appreciate not having to even think about them. My late father-in-law never would trust them... especially in cars that kept the lights for a period after exiting. He had too much history with 6V electrics that would kill the battery in minutes if you left the lights on.

My 1987 Lincoln Mark VII LSC had them (And Auto High Beams! (And auto tilt rear view mirror!!!))
I've loved them on every car I had. Auto High Beams, those are more iffy around here where I live, nice, but too curvy/hilly.
