The lease on my Lincoln ended June 23rd...I've been driving a rental as the Volvo I ordered the end of March still had not arrived. It was supposed to be here June 10 but it finally showed up on Thurs. I drove down to Toronto yesterday to pick it up. It is a 2019 Volvo XC60 Momentum T6 AWD in Crystal White with black leather interior. This is my first Volvo and so far I am really liking it. Very comfortable to drive, lots of power, quiet and features that just don't end.

I have a S80 sedan and very comfortable car it is. Plenty of features that I have grown accustomed to. Love the handling and ride. Good luck and happy motoring with your new automobile. Jon | ||

Very nice! Volvo certainly has improved the looks of its vehicles in the past few years. My mom's friend Lana had a Volvo from the early 80's, in Beige, and it wasn't a very attractive car. They were so boxy then, almost like they were built with Lego blocks. | ||

Actually the XC60s that are destined for the North America market are being built in China (at least mine was) but supposedly Volvo is moving out of China due to excessive tariffs. From what I read in the brochures, anyone that orders a Volvo can purchase the option to go to see the car being built, etc. and then have it shipped to their country. I have no idea how much that option is worth.

Just finished my first trip of almost 850 km. I'm very happy with the gas mileage - 8.4 l/100 km (33 mpg) - almost all highway driving with adaptive cruise control set at 125 kmh. My Lincoln MKC would only get about 29-30 mpg with a 2.3l engine producing 285 hp. The Volvo has a 2.0l engine producing 316 hp.

that's really good mileage....
noticed on my Jeep, the computer tells me one thing, but if I do the math, I am getting better mileage than it displays... was starting to concern me, as I was looking into cars I had back in the 80/90's, I was getting mileage like yours in a 4cyl Turbo..... and wondering why most cars today are sticking within areas of the low 20's....some may vary.....but still, with todays technology, why were not seeing mileage into the 40's for a regular vehicle... I had a rental for a month....a 2014 Chevy Sonic 4 banger....that thing drank more gas than my V8 | ||
