I drive a V60 T6 TE e‑AWD Inscription MY 2022

Overall I'm very satisfied with it.

Positives +
+ Safety
+ Performance
+ Fuel consumption
+ Service and running costs
+ Driving feel (still has a bit of the Swedish tank about it)
+ Average consumption 5.2 l/100 km

Negatives -
- 180 km/h limiter, supposedly due to excessive centrifugal forces on the electric motor
- Thinner side windows than the predecessor
- Still very firm suspension
- 8‑speed automatic (feels like the car is always shifting)
- Volvo's own customer service has massively deteriorated in recent years (their new motto seems to be "take it or leave it")

As a long‑time Volvo customer, this will be my last Volvo — I'm not willing to go along with the (now purely electric and largely China‑produced) madness.

Porsche Panamera

The Porsche Panamera blends sports-car sharpness with luxury-sedan refinement, serving driving thrills up front while pampering passengers in the back. Poised, polished and mischievously quick, it’s the car for buyers who want exotic performance without losing everyday comfort.
