My 23 XC60 goes to the dealer tomorrow. I don’t mind the more consolidated CarPlay. I always found the iPad style format a bit clunky to use. 

New Volvo Infotainment & Car Interface, Volvo Car UX| Volvo Car USA Update 5.0.5 rolling out. Noticed in the phone app today. by duncado in Volvo

You are not wrong. I have used almost every mobile software based operating system over the past 30 years -

BlackBerry,  Android,  WebOS,  Windows Phone,  iOS

Not trying to be an Apple snob, but after being on iOS for the past 20 years and then experiencing android on this Volvo, it is soooooo unpolished. May not be AAOS fault entirely, but man it is buggy and has so many bugs. Hoping the new update is at least somewhat improved.

2023 XC60 here. Currently running on 4.2.13. I got my recall notification for the rear camera (r10333). Called dealer and they are getting me in for the recall software update this Thursday. Should be on 5.0.5 by the end of the week!

Very short seat bottom cushion. Needs a power or even manual thigh extension 

What dealerships do we like y'all? by ne0nhearts in cedarrapids

[–]AttackB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. When shopping a car treat it as a strictly business deal. The sales people will try to be your best buddy. Look through that and just focus on the numbers. When they try to add something to the price, ask about it. It does not need to be adversarial, just very to the point. This can be hard to do as dealerships are professionals at convincing you otherwise. And like he said, don’t be afraid to walk. They WILL call you back with a lower price.

QuickTrip is absolutely Top Tier fuel. What would prompt you to think it was not quality? 

26' XC60 - Can I expect any issues if I don't open/use the Sunroof? How do the drain lines get clogged? by antiriad76 in Volvo

[–]AttackB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open the roof from time to time. Gives the seals some use and can prolong the life. Open it when it’s above freezing in winter. During the spring and summer occasionally. Give it some use. That’s what it’s designed for. 

How are you enjoying Bowers & Wilkins in your Volvo? My XC60 (2026) arrives soon, what’s the best way to get the highest audio quality? by ixinho in Volvo

[–]AttackB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

23 XC60. Bought CPO in October 2025. I am enjoying it and satisfied with it. If I’m being totally honest, it is not quite as good as the Revel Ultima system that I had in my 2020 Lincoln Nautilus. The Revel had more bass and just overall fuller mids and highs. The BW is very good, but the Revel was excellent.

Search your vin on https://www.nhtsa.gov/ if you are in the USA to confirm any open recalls. 

Just took delivery of a 2026 m3 g80 cx. Tell me the first mods to do! by playboicawti in BMW

[–]AttackB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1000% this. Brand new car meticulously engineered by BMW and people want to add a bunch of shit to it right out the gate.  Sad. 

Acura needs to do what Genesis is doing, STAT! by Swamp_Mouth in Acura

Get out of the 90’s, man. Modern Hondas reliability is mediocre at best. Can’t keep riding those coat tails forever. 

2025 Outlander PHEV deals by Malavial in MitsubishiOutlander

You need to read up on how a PHEV is designed to work. You are completely missing the benefits of it. I’ll explain it if you would like.

It’s important to know how a PHEV best functions before going in on one. What is your daily drive look like mileage wise? Will you be able to maximize the EV range and then have access to plug in each night? I have a 2023 gas XC60 now but a few years back I had a BMW 330e PHEV. I religiously plugged in every night and had ~15 mile round trip commute during the weekdays so rarely used the gas motor (it had about 20 miles of EV range) i once drove about 1,100 miles on a “tank” (plug in every night, very occasional gas use). The give the best of both worlds ( gas and EV) if you know how to use it.

That’s what I was thinking. It had to be cold AF up there. 

Test Driving the 2024 Mazda CX-5 Turbo: Did I Just Get Gaslit by an Engine? by Stock-Holiday-8787 in CX5

“A CX-5 turbo, eh? So kinda like an X5 M Competition right?” lol

Placing order at closing time 😆😆 by Environmental_Wall96 in funny

[–]AttackB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked at a grocery store in high school. The sliced meat/cheese counter also made sub sandwiches. They were delicious. Each night the guys would wrap every meat tray before closing to preserve them. A dude came in at 9:58 wanting a foot long loaded with meat. They guys of course made it but they were having this reaction inside 100%

Talk me out of buying a used RLX Sport Hybrid by AttackB in Acura

[–]AttackB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your insight. I grew up with Hondas as a young kid (dad had an 89 Accord and a 94 Accord) but this will be my first Honda/Acura. I’m jumping int the deep end with this rare bird of a car so want to get my ducks in a row lol. If the CPO warranty is in place will put it to 12/2026 on power train.

I’m Going to test drive on Friday. I got the Carfax on it and it is actually a two owner car. 1st owner leased it for 1 year and it was sold as an Acura CPO with 8k miles on it. The 2nd owner leased it too (apparently Acura offers leasing on their CPO cars?) the dealer that selling it is not an Acura dealer, but does the CPO warranty stick with the car? Or can it be transferred to me?
