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.

VW ID. Buzz Cargo

The VW ID. Buzz Cargo marries retro Volkswagen charm with a thoroughly modern electric work van, offering a surprisingly spacious and practical load area wrapped in friendly, iconic styling. It's a smart pick for urban tradespeople and small businesses who want quiet, effortless driving, lower running costs and easy maneuverability — with a healthy dash of nostalgia on the job.
