A week on, covered 300 miles most of which was driving back from Grimsby.
The car was delivered with one key - not a good impression really, the second arrived on Wednesday and the car is booked in at a local Audi dealer after I come backs from our German holiday. Anyway, the car itself is all that I expected, a really fine riding and handling car. I connected with it straight away and is a real joy to drive. Mrs RP drove home from a meal out (I'd had a couple of pints of the excellent Wrexham Lager) and her opinion was that it was a superb drive, the car's performance is stunning (considering it lives in "efficient") mode and suits the roads around here, where you can still make progress.
Build quality is mies ahead of Volvo's, the interior is grey and boring but it really works well and the tactile quality of the switchgear is really old school. The nappa leather seats are as good as Volvo's any day of the week.
So far so good. I don't miss the XC40 at all.
