Our wheel selection started at delivery where we took a delete option credit for 16" Biolines. We didn't want the higher replacement cost and lower mpg associated with the 17" setup. Then, when we were nearing buyback time, we swapped the Boilines with their exceptional Pirelli P7 all-season...

Other than a hit in fuel economy, we have no issues with the way our '16 V60 CC drives. It's amazingly nimble for car of it's size, even on narrower 16" winter tires and, as mentioned above, the ride quality and seat comfort are a quantum leap better. As wagons go, the luggage capacity isn't...

That would be a very good deal. We got 18.7% off MSRP on our V60CC and that was praised as being an exceptional deal by the folks over on SwedeSpeed.

Yeah, SwedeSpeed is good. Lots of long time, multiple Volvo-owning enthusiasts there though not as active as here. It's more like a couple of visits a week vs. 2x a day.

I'd think upper 30s should be obtainable. We often got low 30s in our '15 2.5 AWD. As to higher cost, you just pay a little longer :D... and will you really care in 5 years?

Don't forget that Mazda will soon have a diesel in the CX-5.

This is what we did when we bought our 2011. TDIs were very popular in OR and most local dealers were adding thousands to MSRP. Our dealer in MN saved us ~$2500 and got us the car equipped exactly the way we we wanted. We wrote them a check which they verified and put a MN temp sticker in the...

White smoke on startup is often a sign of incomplete combustion but it usually goes away once the engine gains temperature. Common causes include bad glow plugs or their electrical connections, which should set a code and illuminate the check engine light (CEL). Bad injector spray patterns could...

I consider myself to be a normal person but I'm not going to put a new battery in my car so I can drive the car 6.5 miles to VW so they can send it to the crusher. I'm also not going to renew the tags which expired in late December just so I can make that trip in mid-January.

Five step process: Buy the trim level which provides the level of equipment which you desire Buy a set of 16" wheels, be they OE (lots avaialble from lower level trim cars on CL) or aftermarket Install a set of new tires (recommend Pirelli Cinturato P7 Plus) on the wheels and install on your new...

I understand your pain but anyone who says the freezing intercooler is unfixable is in denial. Just drill a 1/16" / ~1mm hole in the lower intercooler pipe and drive on. I did so on our '11 and have had no issues since, even when driving from the wet Willamette valley to frozen central Oregon...

Looks like the 3 hatch & sedan Touring both come on 18s. https://www.mazdausa.com/vehicles/mazda3-hatchback/trims https://www.mazdausa.com/vehicles/mazda3-sedan/trims

They will. Sources close to Volvo report that by 2018, the 90-series cars will be the oldest in the lineup.

That offer expires on Jan 31 so don't delay. No word if they'll renew or replace with another plan but happy shopping. http://www.volvocars.com/us/shopping-tools/explore/events/vw-offer

The V60 front passenger seatback folds flat as well. Advantage Volvo :D

Our needs aren't quite that great but since VW keeps downsizing hatchback trunk space, we couldn't even consider a Mk 7. We view the V60 as a large hatchback. In truth, it has almost exactly the same trunk capacity as our CX-5 had, and a much lower roofline for loading our kayaks... and it...

Detail$?

Looks good! Our choices were between white and silver. We got the silver mostly because it was better equipped... and our CX-5 was white.

Exactly?!?
