Volvo V90 R-Design

Bren_C

Hi All,

Time for me to change company car again, coming out of a A6 avant s-line and want a change so have settled on the V90 D4, has anyone got one or a S90 in R-Design, I like it but there are some reviews that say the ride is too harsh. It seems ok on test to me but ....... has anyone lived with one? TIA

Haven't driven an R-Design S/V90 yet, but I've driven an Inscription on the 20" alloys, and more than a few R-Design S60/V60/XC60 (both new and old model) and not found them too harsh at all.

Should be a bit softer than an A6 S-Line anyway.

Great deals to be had on the S90/V90 for 2018 deliveries at the moment.

Has the s/v90 been a bit of a flop here?
You don’t see very many on the road. They look rubbish on 17” wheels too especially the s90. Body looks way too big for them. V90 much better and R design is lovely looking.
What kind of great deals are on offer?
They seem to be running a campaign for Volvo selekt Used cars and only offering 7500 off.

Purchasing? Ever considered leasing instead? More than 4,000 available to leasing companies...

In general did you find the suspension/ride of the A6 to be too harsh? Considering an A6 Avant S-Line myself, not test driving until next week but the reviews I've read online all mention it being a bit hard. Any other issues you noticed with the car?

It's stunning. The aesthetics and styling are a light years ahead of Audi and BMW. Audi in particular... stuck in a rut with that overly "smooth and stealth" look.

It is actually through a leasing company whatever deal they got has brought the r design under my monthly cap

I'm not that jealous at all. *typed in a furious rage.

What colour are you going for? Please say blue, not grey, white or silver.

The A6 could be a little harsh over really bad surfaces but 99% of the time I had no problems at all, seats are super comfortable (160k on it now) don't know if it's standard now but I think the ambient lighting is a must if you are going for a dark interior

Yes bursting blue, 19s, carbon trim, winter pack and apple airplay is what I finally decided on.

Are you dabbing to me, the hater now?

Well wear. Best of luck with the car.
