Wind noise
I've had my XC40 R Design B4 FWD for around 4 months and love everything about it so far. However recently I've noticed a fairly loud buffering sound at speeds of 50mph plus which seems like its coming from the roof. I'm sure this is a recent development as I don't remember it happening prior to a f...

Re: Sun roof
I know what you mean, the button is a bit of a black art until you get the hang of it. Love the sunroof but the button isn't the greatest design.

Re: Why Did You Buy an EV?
I didn't buy an EV for the following reasons: 1. I often need to drive single journeys over 300 miles and don't want to stop. 2. Battery technology is in its infancy and will undergo at least 2 major step changes over the next 5-10 years thus reducing current EV second hand values. 3. Batteries redu...

Re: Anyone else think the reversing light is not bright enough.
I've just parked mine on my narrow drive in the dark and torrential rain, the rear camera was very clear but the reversing light creates virtually no rear illumination. No complaints about the light not assisting the camera though.

Re: Range anxiety
Personally I don't want any kind of anxiety, especially whilst on motorways which can be stressful enough already. This is exactly why I won't buy electric until the technology improves, which it is predicted to do in the next 5 to 10 years. In the meantime I'm very happy with my 2L petrol. Sorry Gr...

Re: Under bonnet insulation.
My B4 R design FWD MY22 has insulation under the bonnet. In fact the salesman pointed out that it's made of recycled fishing nets.

Re: XC40 vs XC60
Hi. 2 answers to your questions here, although the second one probably isn't very helpful. XC40 v XC60: I have a 40 R design B4 FWD and my father in law has a 60 Momentum B5 FWD. In my opinion the 40 looks way better, a lot more stylish on the outside with a lot more road presence. Its sportier insi...

Re: Home Address
Its not a good idea to use any name that indicates your home address on your car sat nav. If you're out and about or away and someone steals your car and sees your address they will know your not there (because you were where your car was) and potentially break into your house as well.

Re: Heated (not) front seats.
Got in this morning and they were working again. Nice warm bottoms on our commute to work and no smells of hot plastic. Will see of it reoccurs.
