How did you choose / get your nickname?

Re: slow_130i, how did you choose / get your nickname?

Turning radius
I solved this problem by reversing, and then moving forward, and then reversing again. Think of it as doing 5-point turn... haha... no way around it. I parked at Orchard Building once (california fitness) and I swore that I would never park there again. Angle is too tight, car turning radius too big, total pain in the ass

Acceleration
Crap. Press all the way but still slow.

Maintenance
Going for my 30k maintenance now. Will let you know more about it once I have sent the car to volvo.

Fuel Consumption
On highway travelling at around 80-90kmh can get around 5-7L/100km. But for daily driving, average fuel consumption is around 14L/100km. Not the best of figures.

Children
There is a sidestep thing which allows kids to climb on. It is a bit high, but kids always love to scramble up and down things right? Maybe to them it is a playground... haha. But seriously, my passengers all found it rather high. When girls get on board, their skirt always hikes up... So this could be boon or bane for you i guess.

Overall Feel
I quite like the height. It gives me a good view of cars around me. After a while, you just get used to the height and the size of the car. The third row is not too bad, have been able to fit 2 adults in there before and drive all the way up to Genting. Whether comfortable or not is debatable. If you are looking for a big car to ferry the kids, the maid, and prams in, this would be a good car...

Hope this helps....

Hey, thank you very much for your advice. Its good info. I'll definitely put this into consideration ...

No worries... I have test-driven the X5, and I find it a better drive than the XC90. However, it is not as big a car as the XC90, space in the 3rd row is not as big as XC90 (I struggled to get into the 3rd row but then again i am not a small-built person).

X5's performance in terms of acceleration and turning is better, also feel that it is a bit more 'planted' than the XC90.

Hope this helps too...
