Re: Brand new B3 plus

Had mine 6 months - only 4000 miles to date. Excellent build quality, quite thirsty and have had 3 separate software issues that required dealer intervention. Already considering changing it in the next 6-12 months as I’ve driven better in the price bracket. For what it’s worth, my wife hates drivin...

Re: Insurance problem

Has the same issue with my B3 (MY23). Phoned Direct Line who sorted it and found them to be by far the cheapest option.

Re: Roadside failure

Incredible coincidence. I’ve been waiting since 09.00 this morning for Enterprise to contact me about a replacement vehicle following recovery of my car via Volvo Assist. My calls have been deflected by saying that they’re having problems with their phone lines. Utterly useless and a strongly worded...

Re: MY23 - delivery dates

I picked up my B3 Plus Dark last weekend after ordering last November. Software issues identified at pick up, let’s see how much effort the dealer puts in to rectify the faults.

My dealer claims to have no further info re. build/delivery dates. Seriously considering alternatives - any recommendations ?

MY23 - delivery dates

Ordered XC40 B3 FWD Plus Dark with dealer early December 2022. To date, I have been told by dealer that no build dates have been given as yet and subsequent delivery dates are anybody’s guess !

Is anyone else having more joy from their dealers re. MY23 vehicles ?

Re: MY23 B3 Plus Dark Theme

Thanks for your replies folks. For info, I visited my local Volvo dealership today, to discuss MY23 colour options and seeking more info on the upholstery. Salesman was clueless re. MY23 and claimed that Volvo hadn’t issued dealers with any more info than that available online (Volvo Germany website...

MY23 B3 Plus Dark Theme

Just had my MY22 T3 R Design Pro order cancelled by Volvo and been asked to consider the above model for the same price. Does anyone have any knowledge of the B3 engines and the Connect/Microtec upholstery ? Also, no black roof available - so would appreciate fellow posters thoughts on best colour ?...
