I recieved my new Volvo on Friday. I still get excited every six months when I am lucky enough to get another new car. My last two choices were the XC60 and the XC70, but this time I went back to the XC90. I really enjoyed the XC60 and XC70 with all their bells and whistles, but there is something rather special about the XC90, that I can’t help but migrate back to it. It’s probably something to do with the size and the fact I am rather small. Sitting above the rest of the cars on the road gives me a sense of safety and importance and a height advantage I don’t often experience! It’s also a great car for towing the size of load I’m now driving around Europe, (two 2.4mR’s and a RIB). It certainly makes the long drives on the continent a pleasurable experience!
