haha. feels like downgrade coz the car is smaller. especially boot. was aiming on S60 facelift but i cant wait anymore. my REP entitlement is ending soon... Booked the V40 T5 for RM 120k++ tongue.gif
how did you get T5 at 120K? selling price is 180K and discount 50K ah? so much?

the car with the most discount is the s60 T6 AWD. thats 50K discount.

Bro, you also have REP. I bought the XC60 under my SIL REP quota, cost 212k and I added 30k worth of accessories like the RSE, front and rear cameras, body kits and internal storage parts.

The shortest distance for ACC is around 1.5-2 cars' length; can't go nearer than that. I tried it with low speed and high speed; all the same. But I have to admit the Powershift GB is quite smooth too; hardly feel the down/up shift when changing gears.

Is your V40 using the 6-spd Powershift or 8-spd Aisin GB? And how well does the cross traffic alert work?

its using 6 speed auto geartronic. not powershift (dual clutch) nor aisin sad.gif just booked it last week. havent gotten the car yet. test drove it that time feel the acceleration is slightly sluggish but bearable. power delivery is very good with 5 cylinder 2.0 turbo engine. wish it was drive-E tho. heard this 5 pot is fuel guzzler sad.gif

dont have money to splurge on the XC60 so have to settle with V40.

there is a caveat tho. only CKD cars, and no, i am not earning 6 digits income despite coming back form overseas. was forced to come back due to work visa expired sad.gif

AMG A45 and 911 are both CBU cars.

Tho they recently changed the rules you can get 1 CBU car tax free (whilst my entitlement is 2 CKD cars)

Thanks. You must have a look at the rolling test, not a scratch on the car man.

it starts with ''The Volvo V60 T5 is a dangerous car. Its modest 240 horsepower thrust me straight into a mini midlife crisis, and its calm interior roiled my emotional waters. Cars are supposed to be a symptom of a middle-aged meltdown, I realize, but who ever heard of a car causing one?''

it is only for the ones who applied after 1st April this year when the rules has changed

XC60 is a good car. but if you can wait till next year, there will be the T6 model launch with better equipment. otherwise, the current ones good enough.

The current REP Price for the new XC60 is around 190k++ if i remember correctly. it is over my budget tho. tongue.gif

you can refer the price at http://www.volvocars.com/my/sales-services...pages/xc60.aspx
