Car options for family of four and a large golden retriever!

Based on the issues we had with the SRS, the two local independent garages didn't have the software to connect to the car to understand the issue - So I took it to Volvo for the repairs - Large chunk of the cost was labour to investigate the issues... For the rest of the servicing and maintenance it was handled by our local independent garage. We did have a warranty (Warranty Wise) but turned out to be useless - They wouldnt cover a single problem we had. For example they claimed the SRS module issue was relating to safety system and this was an extra to the policy, car went into limp mode due to a split boost pipe also not covered, next had an ABS sensor and also a loose tierod end they claimed was wear and tear and also not cover.




This is great info, thanks! The whole range anxiety bothers me still, nice to see you've had a positive experience with charging. Is it possible to charge overnight to get maybe half full battery on a 3-pin if you dont have a 7kw/ 11kw charge point?
Granny chargers (as we call them) will charge at 2kw, so 10 hours will be 20kwh, the battery is 77kwh, so only just over 25% charge. To get 50% on a 77kwh ID.7 would take ~38.5 hours!

This is why a 7kw (actually it's 7.4kw) is ideal, the same 10 hours will almost do a full charge.
