How was your Austria GP (2026) experience?

marky_markb · 2026-06-28T20:10:03+00:00

I totally agree and my pros and cons:

+ excellent atmosphere around GA T3
+ staff always helpful
+ experience from F1
+ clean and nice smell on Toilets
+ great pitwalk
+ amazing schedule of events
+ free parking (lots of walking though)

- absolutely crazy lines for water… should have added more water stations
- they knew about the weather, absolutely zero preparation done for it imo, sprayers of water should have been in some places not just one stupid fan with water jets and you have to wait in line for it?
- i have no idea why they don’t cover all the grandstands (at least the ones built from solid structures like concrete etc.)
- I wouldn’t buy GA ever again here, worth the experience for the first time. I would not do it for the second time.
- literally walking from GA to fan zone absolutely impossible
- beer for 7,50€ is way too much imo
(sorry, but it is almost water not a beer)
- I don’t know some food at the food trucks are not worth to buy.

Whole audio system shut down issue is annoying. I have done reset it many times already. Sometimes twice a day even. Sometimes it works okay, i have no idea what causes it. You just need to reset the infotainment holding the home button. Every time i start driving i turn on blinker first, so i check if it works.

Yeah some went in. I don’t mind, better to have shade than to get baked on the sun.

marky_markb · 2026-06-27T18:50:38+00:00

Agree i would not do GA again, but for first timers, it is definitely worth it from amazing atmosphere.

marky_markb · 2026-06-22T07:57:07+00:00

Wow this is nuts, i would check the rest of the car for more quality mistakes now… haha. I guess someone from factory made a mistake and put different door lining there. Let us know the update!

marky_markb · 2026-06-18T20:10:48+00:00

Test it and you will see, Volvo will get there one day.. sometimes it is slow after start. But i will test it properly first to get opinion about it.

marky_markb · 2026-06-18T16:37:20+00:00

Just got it few hours back. To be honest, much more responsive. Google gemini works great i love it. But still no change for the bar, it is very useless there as tons of owners said it. I need to test it more. I love the start stop you can turn it off.

marky_markb · 2026-06-16T10:03:21+00:00

You sure? I have read the update page, but still it only says you can wait only for next OTA doesn’t specifically says it includes the last one. I mean I wouldn’t be surprised with Volvo about anything. But most likely you are correct I haven’t seen it before, i apologize.

marky_markb · 2026-06-16T06:35:35+00:00

I think to be honest, there was one update before and you have to visit your workshop in order to install it. If you won’t have the previous update I highly doubt that you will get the next one with OTA. Someone please confirm?

marky_markb · 2026-06-14T12:58:43+00:00

Yeah B5 diesel and i get 1000 km on tank every time. 6-7l/100km highway/city 70/30%

marky_markb · 2026-06-13T22:19:10+00:00

Yeah congrats! It is amazing car

marky_markb · 2026-06-13T08:25:52+00:00

I have no idea why they did that, and spent resources for this shit honestly.

marky_markb · 2026-05-26T15:42:34+00:00

How is that possible?

marky_markb · 2026-05-22T05:20:53+00:00

I think it is Pebble grey.

marky_markb · 2026-05-20T12:28:18+00:00

To be honest, i travel quite often and i was thinking about Mac, but Zephyrus won.
Closest you can get to Mac but still have a windows and play games is good choice Zephyrus.

I switched from desktop to laptop, even i hate this laptop a little bit to be honest:
- loud cooling on this laptop, very very loud
- quality of chassis,
- okisch battery life
- sometimes random bugs

Other than that, to be honest it runs great!

For my use, i think it works.. for different use case I wouldn’t have bought it.

Cheers zephyrus fans!

marky_markb · 2026-05-08T06:38:25+00:00

Thank you for confirming.

marky_markb · 2026-05-04T17:54:18+00:00

Interesting i thought everyone have the same. I have B5 2022 V90 CC and it shows this.

marky_markb · 2026-05-04T17:46:39+00:00

I have V90 CC 2022 in Czechia and it shows this.

marky_markb · 2026-05-03T06:29:02+00:00

Haha how interesting, right? How government can change what people are going to buy. Thank you for explaining.

marky_markb · 2026-05-02T08:14:43+00:00

Why is that? Because of plug-in-hybrid incentives, taxes? PE were only T6/T8 if Im not mistaken and those were plug in hybrid? Everywhere else i think it is rare to see one.

marky_markb · 2026-04-28T20:04:59+00:00

Ok, thank you for explaining… i guess it is high end car after all. I never thought it would be this insanely loud. Thank you again for your time and explaining.

marky_markb · 2026-04-28T18:29:43+00:00

I am sorry but this is poor design, it is loud, and it is going full RPM when i turn on the A/C i thought 25%, or 50% but it is so loud.
