[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7788049, member: 718"] Disco Sport is a deceptively large car but the XC60 is deceptively small. The Volvo is slightly bigger by about 10cms overall and wheelbase but interior room is about the same if I remember correctly. In theory the LR should be a better car than the Volvo with bespoke interiors built to your taste from a massive list of options. In practice though, always be aware of Land Rover's dodgy and patchy reliability record and their appalling record for not standing by their products. Get a good one though and it can be brilliant. Volvo has a very nice model range. I had an XC90 D5 for three years and only the lockdown stopped me from buying it out from the lease. It went well and was economical on fuel and was pretty reliable, though not perfectly so. I found the seats to be hard and unforgiving and the suspension also. The main thing that I didn't like was the tyre noise, even with Contisilent tyres. A change to Pirelli 235x19 from the 285x20 made a lot of difference and the Pirelli seemed to last at least three times longer than the Continentals. I've a set of part worn [50%ish] Conti on absolutely as-new Volvo Inscription wheels to fit XC90 for sale if anyone's interested. [/QUOTE]
