    Nice motor. One came up behind as I was motoring along and the way the lights look in your rear view mirror is very intimidating indeed. They're too new for any issues to be widely known but the old model was a good car with no major reliability problems.
    Why is it on UK plates if it's a demo? I'd consider a UK history check on it.

    I looked at that one while mine was on order, it's very tidy.

    I think the dealer said it was a launch car and was sourced from Volvo UK.

    OP - I've had mine for just under 3 months. No issues so far, very comfy, lots of kit and the D3 engine is a joy to drive.

    Don't like the 2 tone steering wheel, but love everything else.

    The D3 is an absolute peach of an engine. The car is very comfortable and well specified as standard - that one has a few of the launch bells and whistles too.

    Haven't used the S60 Nav system, but manufacturer fitted Nav systems are usually a bit of a let down. Hopefully it's easier to figure out than the S40/V50 Nav that now on the SE Lux models.

    The driver support pack would be the big selling point for me. I can live without the BLIS and whatever the 3rd part of the pack is (can't be that good if I can't remember it), but the Radar Cruise is fantastic. Got all the way from the Hillsborough roundabout (south of Belfast) to the Drogheda North M1 exit, without touching a pedal.

    It's the lane departure system. Handy on the motorway if you start to nod off.

    +1 to the Adaptive Cruise Control. It makes motorway driving so much more enjoyable.

    Ah yes, I remember now. It makes such a jolly little noise, I found myself purposely wandering between lanes to get the de-de-de-de-de :D

    I drove this model for the weekend with the d3 engine and was very impressed..Lovely car to drive and the handling was excellent. The only problem was the spec as it was the base spec and would be really nice with the extra spec..
