Wife is happy, that is what counts. I’m researching winter wheels + tires.

Nice - I like the fancy color key fobs. Wife looks happy!

Looks awesome with those wheels and obviously I extremely approve of the brown interior! Is that bump some sort of tow hitch + cover?

I think the red one is just a valet key, unless you get the Hellcat package obviously.

When I saw this post I was hoping a wagon but regardless congrats my guy.

What a sweet ride and I’m sure it’s safe and pretty fun. Kudos for supporting an oddball. Anything about it that surprised you? 

My local Volvo dealership (where I can still get parts at a reasonable price which is nuts) is Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover and Karma so it’s always interesting

My wife loves our V60 as do I. My boss’s wife likes her S60 as does he.

Red one can either be a regular key or a “restricted” key where you can set a max speed and stereo volume.

The bits I was excited for (pilot assist, nice interior) didn’t fail to deliver which is nice, pilot assist is amazing for us (we commute).

O ne of the things that struck me is despite having a similar air suspension of the jeep there is absolutely no where to just tell it to be higher or lower, it’s all based on other preferences. Some of the “Oh you probably don’t want to bother with that..” things. It’s also slightly quicker than I had guessed it would be when in Polestar mode. The trans isn’t as smooth as the jeep’s was as well.

It also gets really fucking bad gas mileage so far but we’ll see how that changes after a couple weeks of commuting.

Thanks the wheels are pretty but 21's in the winter around here seem like bent wheels waiting to happen so I’m hoping to find a whee/tire package for it soon. The black hump is a hitch+cover yes, it has the towing bits so it can drag up to 5000lb’s around.

I was hoping it would be a wagon too, but alas.
