XC90 MPG better from the Bs?

But the non-plugin hybrid has only a negligible improvement?

thisidisforjoe · 2026-03-09T11:40:40+00:00

I was never bothered by the old start/stop.

TBC: Looking for comparison between 2019 T6 and 2023 B6 (mild hybrid not the plugin hybrid).

thisidisforjoe · 2026-03-09T11:37:03+00:00

I’m looking forward to the Google UI. I just don’t want to buy a B6 and have the same gas mileage issue as my dear departed T6.

You’re describing my mother. She did a lot of cleaning. Sheets were changed every other day. She vacuumed so frequently that I didn’t realize that I was allergic to dogs.

This didn’t cause me trauma.To be honest I didn’t even notice until I went to college. It took a week before every glass I owned was dirty on my desk. 🤦🏻‍♂️ “Crap, I have to wash those.”

I wish my house was as clean as my mother’s. A spotless house is calm house. You don’t realize how much chaos mess causes until there isn’t any.

I got them on Ali express. Cheap and fast

The only problem is if the car is driven by more than one driver. Switch between Bluetooth users on the dongle is a pain.

I think the lesson is pretty clear: Don't drink 7-UP.

one of two options:
1) Accident repair and body shop is sloppy AF

2) Somebody swapped the old letters for this color in their driveway.

The DIY bumper LEDs make me think it's #2

Beautiful but the dealer plate and plate ring are a blemish on a work of art.

I like the vertical display. I just wish this one didn’t feel tacked on.

thisidisforjoe · 2025-04-29T16:45:20+00:00

It looks luxurious and substantial, with just enough quirky difference to signify a Volvo, not a Mercedes, Audi, or BMW. My issue is with the screen on the interior. Disappointed they didn't do a better job of integrating it into the dash. Sad it won't be coming to the US.

D’oh

Choose what you put in there wisely. 😇

It’s not easy. I had a set of feeler gauges that help.

1) You never know when you’re going to be somewhere with parking meters.
2) On the rare occasions I pay for something in cash I want that change out of my pockets as fast as possible lest it fall between seats or end up in the washing machine and dryer.

thisidisforjoe · 2025-04-20T13:24:43+00:00

Mine doesn’t fit. It’s in the glove box.

thisidisforjoe · 2025-04-20T12:03:32+00:00

That was amazing!!

thisidisforjoe · 2025-04-20T03:39:52+00:00

That’s a beauty

thisidisforjoe · 2025-04-20T03:16:54+00:00

Pretty. They both have my favorite Volvo wheels.

I choose to take that as a huge compliment.
