Volvo V60 Cross Country Review

As with all modern Volvo products, the V60 Cross Country majors on comfort. The V60 is slightly bigger than the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series estates, meaning there鈥檚 plenty of space inside for passengers and luggage. From the driver鈥檚 seat you鈥檒l just about notice the higher driving position offered by the raised ride height, but this is no tall-riding SUV. All-round visibility is still good, however. The Volvo V60 Cross Country measures in at just under 4.8m long, just over 1.9m (a shade over 2m including mirrors) and one millimetre shy of 1.5m in height. It鈥檚 a little larger than conventional executive estates from Audi, Mercedes and BMW, but around the same size as the Subaru Outback - although the latter is around 100mm taller. The V60 has a greater focus on practicality than its stylish V90 sibling, featuring a tailgate that鈥檚 far less raked and therefore a boot with a more practical shape. Up front, you鈥檒l find some of the best seats in the business - something of a Volvo hallmark - while the rears offer enough space to sit two six-foot adults in comfort.

The rear floor isn鈥檛 flat, so legroom becomes an issue with three rear passengers - even if shoulder space is fine. It鈥檚 worth noting too that while rear legroom is okay, it can be hampered if the front seats are set to their lowest positions. There are Isofix points on each of the two outer rear seats. The V60 Cross Country鈥檚 boot measures in at 529 litres - larger than that of the conventional Audi A4 Avant (504 litres) and BMW 3 Series Touring (495 litres), but trails the Subaru Outback鈥檚 559 litres ever so slightly. The Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer is the biggest near-rival, with 560 litres. It鈥檚 interesting to note that the Cross Country does not lose out on space versus front-wheel drive versions of the V60. Folding the seats flat can be made easier with the optional Convenience Pack (拢500), which adds electrically folding rear seats amongst other practical luggage organisation features and extra power sockets. A total of 1,441-litres of space is available with the seats down. The Volvo V60 can tow braked trailers of up to 2000kg when specified with the optional retractable tow bar at just over 拢1,000.

One can also find them online on sites such as EBay. Are truck floor mats really necessary? Floor mats are necessary. They catch dirt and debris that can now be easily removed from the truck and can even help lower asthma risks since the debris can be easily removed. Should you secure your BMW Z3 floor mats? I am not sure if the BMW Z3 comes with a standard retaining post. If there is a retaining post in the floor, you should absolutely use it. If there is no retaining post, you will get excellent traction on most floor mats with the non-slip backing they are produced with. Where can you find Giraffe print car floor mats? I don't think I have ever seen giraffe print floor mats in my 25 years of selling floor mats. There are animal print seat covers and steering wheel covers that resemble giraffe. None of these, however, are specifically called giraffe. What are the alternatives to using BMW mats in a car? Car mats are designed to protect the floor of the vehicle from dirt, wear and salt corrosion. Car mats come in two alternatives, either rubber or carpet. Where can one purchase Cadillac floor mats? Floor mats for Cadillac vehicles can be purchased from Cadillac dealers. They can also be found at department stores with an automotive section such as Sears, stores that sell auto parts and accesories, and on Amazon. Will 2005 floor mats fit your 2004 Dakota? If your talking about 2005 Dakota floor mats then yes! Correction: This is not correct. The 2005 Dodge Dakota was built on a new chassis. The floor pan on the vehicle is different from the 2004 model. If you have custom fit mats for the 2004, they will not correctly fit the 2005 Dodge Durango. Where can you find original floor mats for your 2002 Aurora? What was used to cover the floors in Elizabethan houses? What is the best surface for a cheerleading jump? Mats, or a gymnastics floor-tumbling area.

What has this water container got to do with my Porsche Boxster? I had it placed on the footwell of the passenger seat. While I was doing a right-turn at Kiulap, the water container tip over and the cover opened up and 90% of my drinking water spilled out to the passenger floor! So I quickly zoom to my Kiulap shop and took out a towel to have the carpet clean up. When I got out of the car, the car started to go berserk. Rear LED tail lamp started to blink like its Christmas Season in March! The spoiler started to go up and down for no apparent reason! The roof auto opened up with my latch still locked! I know by then worst had happened, my guess would be electrical or cable problems beneath the passenger seat. Fearing for the worst, I quickly drove to QAF to have the car checked by the Porsche specialists.

Luckily at that time, there were two Germans from Porsche AG on duty to train the Porsche staff. They took out my passenger seat and mentioned to me that there are several Control Units underneath the passenger seat. My body just went numb when they mentioned that to me. The guys at Porsche asked me to leave the car in the workshop so they can find out what damaged had been done by the water. So I just left car with the trusty people from Porsche workshop and of course at that time I am preparing for more worst news to come. The next day, I popped into the Porsche workshop again and speak to one of the service person. He kindly said to me that there are four control units affected by the water. Two control units they managed to save but the other 2 control units weren't that lucky. I was told it needed to be replaced. The price for the control units? 3000 for both and the worst news keeps on coming as they do not have stock and I needed to wait 3 weeks for it to be imported from Germany. I was told to drive the car home instead of leaving it in the workshop. So there you go with the BOXSTER S story, I had been waiting for the parts for almost four weeks. Last few days, I called and checked that the parts had arrived. So I dropped by BOXSTER S to the workshop last Thursday.
