Akula Turbocharged November 28, 2008 Share November 28, 2008 Went for a short test drive on last Sunday. Power delivery was good and for a Volvo SUV handling was nimble and very good, at least compare to my XC90, which is a little ponderous. Interior quality was also good, enough gadgets to entertain. Befitting the status of the newest Volvo on the market. Tried out the CITY SAFE, whereby the car's electronics will brake for you in the event of iminent collision. First time when getting closed instintively attempted to brake, 2nd time jus left the system alone to function as it is. Both times come to a shuddering halt in front of the obstacle. Priced at $172000, incl of $5000 acc. Can choose to omit than will be $167000. Think the 1st shipment all accounted for, deliveries, subj to LTA homologation process will be from mid december onwards. Next shipment around Jan.

Throttle2 Supersonic November 28, 2008 Author Share November 28, 2008 thanks for update and review never really fancied SUVs but the XC60 looks too neat to ignore. then again , i 've learnt my lesson never to buy a brand new Volvo again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Turbocharged November 28, 2008 Share November 28, 2008 Haha, tell me about it. I owned an S60, and then trade in for my current XC90. BTW OMV for this vehicle abt $45K. Very handsome profit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic November 28, 2008 Author Share November 28, 2008 No lah, every now and then itch so now itch again so ask ask a bit. No money to buy, only dreaming.... I was thinking of moving from Suntec food cout to Marina foodcourt leh.... Nicer environment in Marina foodcourt I think. If really no good maybe move to Beach Road hawker center. sigh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangz 3rd Gear November 28, 2008 Share November 28, 2008 Haha bro a fairer price will be around 160k la, for a OMV of 45k and judging by the price of the competition. From the pics posted on SGcarmart, equipment level looks reasonable despite the presence of some dummy buttons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic November 28, 2008 Author Share November 28, 2008 Cannot lah , OMV $45k if pay $160k , die cxxk stand..... anyway, i think i'll go back to my old strategy when i get my next car. i.e. buy very good old cars (>5 yrs old) from direct owner using full cash. drive a few years then decide whether to chuck or renew. recently I was quite close to getting a 330ci cabby Dec 2004 for $118k bloody dealers selling for easily $130k but too bad the color is a bit bland and far from my ideal choice so i dropped it. Back to the Volvo, I find the make very solid with great looking lines. what I also like is the service standards during routine maintenance and general servicing. But the sales side, lady SEs dont impress me though. very fakey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Turbocharged November 28, 2008 Share November 28, 2008 Fully agree on the after sales service side at SM motors. By far the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
