Glad to hear about the maintenance. It appears that only certain Volvo dealers can service P* cars? I guess because of some form of certification.

There is new transmission for 2017 which is an 8 speed. There are complaints in reviews about the previous transmission. It doesn't sound like you or your wife have any complaints about the pre-17 trans?


Craig T: What do you think about the space in wagon?

Ours is serviced by our regular dealer which is not a P* allotment dealer, no problems but we have not had any major work needed. They do have to order parts we just had to do rear brake pads and they had to be special ordered as the P* brakes are different/bigger brakes. No problem at our regular dealer. Maybe if you need engine ECU/electronics service you might have to use a designated dealer. The P* cars are more mainstream now...back when we bought ours only 500 per year were coming to the US and they were not listed on the main Volvocars website, but now you can view/build the cars just like any regular S60 variety on the main Volvo site, so less of a novelty now.

**Also Craig T is right about "spanking" unsuspecting M3/M5 and AMG drivers. They just look befuddled when you are two car lengths ahead of them by the other side of the intersection...in a VOLVO...good fun.
