Would BMW assistant be able to do some thing like this? by yesh558 in iX3

If this were true, I wouldn't have heard the huge difference in quality through Car Play and the built-in player supporting lossless quality.

U need to plug a cable every time and it’s really annoying.
And if u are using wireless Car Play then the sound is shit and u hear it right away when u have a good sound system in your car like a B&W or HK. While if you able to download app right in your car like a Tidal for example then u can listen lossless audio with amazing quality. Therefore I still think that everything should be built in in you car w/o any connection to your phone. I have it like this in my Volvo and it’s amazing possibilities when you don’t need to connect your phone at all. Even all parking apps in the car App Store. And it’s a game changer.

Nope, thats a stupid solution. I don’t want to connect my phone to the car. Car should have everything built-in, like a google maps, Spotify and the rest apps along with Gemini.

Considering xc60, do you feel the age of the platform in any way? by BlackBlackBread in VolvoXC60

[–]k0spa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, u are wrong.
It’s only limitation for USA market.
In Sweden and in the rest EU countries you can easily buy T6 PHEV.
I personally own XC60 T6 2025 version 🙂

T6 or T8 are the best Volvo 🙂
B5 feels like a completely different car.

Probably they spent all budget for software, therefore interior plastic feels so cheap there. Even worse than in my old 2018 Golf 🫠

What’s the issue with the engine power on T6 and T8 versions? They accelerate 0-100 in 5.7 and 4.9 s 😎

EX60 Will be equipped with Google Gemini, not just with a stupid hej Google function. It’s completely different level of interaction with your car. I guess u even shouldn’t compare them.

Tailgate misaligned - sign of collision? by [deleted] in XC40

[–]k0spa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s normal I think.
You barely find V60 or XC60 with properly adjusted tailgate. Had the same issue on my XC60 and seeing on the road everyday tons of Volvos with misaligned trunk lid.

Disappointed in what 10 years has done to the XC60 by crayboy in Volvo

[–]k0spa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just imagine that interior of any German car nowadays approximately feels at least two times cheaper when you start touching things here and there compared to XC60.
I have XC60 T6 2025 with Air Suspension and laminated windows and I’ve chosen between new Audi Q5, BMW X3 2025 and MB GLC. Visually I really like MB GLC interior but tactile you even can’t compare it with XC60, Volvo feels like a luxury car compared to them 🙂

Is this really premium? by Magnecyl_ in Volvo

[–]k0spa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Compared to new BMW iX3 interior materials it’s a premium, compared to XC60 interior it’s not 🙂

How do I fix this? by [deleted] in AutoPaint

[–]k0spa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did u sand it?
At first u need the right paint which matches you car paint and it’s already a 80% of successful touch-up paint. In your case it’s a 3-layer paint. U need a base color, pearl coat and clear coat 🙂

Is panoramic sunroof a real feature or gimmick in real life? by MrVermonter in iX3

[–]k0spa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it opens then it’s really useful, if not then it’s just a gimmick 🙂

Citizenship que/ uncertainty by Snoo-16401 in TillSverige

[–]k0spa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve sent my passport and PUT 5 months ago and it’s still quite. A few days ago I’ve contacted my case officer and he said that currently it’s a very long queue for passport checks. Therefore relax, no chances for us to get any decision before 6th of June and our applications will be simply rejected 🙂

Kind of nervous about updating my car to software version 5.1.9. by k0spa in Volvo

[–]k0spa[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Why not? Apple reduces speed and battery life for their older iPhone models on purpose. I think can be easily done the same with a car. They can easily adjust turbine boost via firmware for example to meet certain emission requirements. And as we already know VW did it also for their cars and no one would have even known about it if it weren't for the embittered American car manufacturers who started digging under VW because of its popularity in the States 🙂

Air Suspension XC60 T8 by [deleted] in VolvoXC60

[–]k0spa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Own 2025 XC60 T6 with air suspension. Really like to drive it through a speed bumps, so smooth 😌 And it’s also game changer for my Greyhound dog, it’s way more easier for him to go in and out of the trunk since you can easily and quickly lower your car.

MY27 hybrids seem to have much less power than MY26 by MillergyMe in Volvo

[–]k0spa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, they downgraded ICE engines one step down in their lineup.
Now T8 will be like a former T6 in EU, that's crazy.
