Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Pirelli P6000 tyres are awful once they've worn down a little. Most forums don't reccomend them yet Volvo insist they are fine. Mine have been swapped front to rear, now it's like the tail wagging the dog. Buying Michelins or Avon next. Drivers seat creaked and groaned and it took them 5 months to finalkly give me a replacement seat which is fine now. Wonder whose got my old one??

Reliability, comfort.

Electrically adjustable seat.
