You guys are relationship goals; the fact that Andrea still belly laughs at Zack's jokes after so many years together alone attests to that (it helps that he's really funny 😃). Such feel good reviews that are also informative and brilliantly produced, kudos!

I have this car now. I wasn’t really sold on it at first, but after owning it for a month, I absolutely love it. It’s the smoothest car I’ve ever driven. Sound system is great. It’s fast

[godofdun]

Volvo always does a fantastic interior, fair amount of practicality here too.

I purchased a used 2021 XC40 T5 Momentum about 7 months ago and I love it.
I saw your review of that year and was happy to see this updated review.
Thanks, you guys are great together. Enjoyed the videos!

No AM radio is a deal breaker for me. I listen to sports radio every morning on my commute. Glad I saw this review, saved me a trip to the dealership.

What pleasantly surprised me was that when it got colder, when I turned on the car on the Volvo aplication on my phone, it warmed up the steering wheel for me and I drove very happy all the way! :))

I can tell that, in addition to being very insightful, is likely very patient. Lol. You guys are a hoot and give some great analysis in a fun way. My condolences Zach. I'm a Bruins fan. It's a good thing you have Andrea. I like what Volvo is doing.

[crafty]

Nice! And I'm with Zach, AM radio is a must WTH!

[SteveGamlin]

My wife got this car about 5 months ago, in Fjord Blue. We love it!

[KingCarlofcarlWorld]

Love the blue color of this XC40! (The color of the sweater is nice, too.)

[nathan-rpll]

Love the xc40 AND the banter in this video!

[Baltisar]

I wanted to let you and Andrea know that I got my Kia Sportage hybrid SX Prestige and you both were right. Its beautiful and comfortable to ride in.

[SM-wrnn]

I still love my 2019 XC40. I was thinking about upgrading but, there are a little less features on the newer models. Also, the app on the older model is SO much better. ZACK The Volvo logo is intended to be the alchemical symbol for iron. Hope i dont come off as woman splaining :)

My 2020 XC 40 has AM Radio😂 I also enjoy the different drive mode. Don’t understand why they get rid of it.

[elde]

You’re right Zack…..no AM radio, no sale!

[syxepop]

Zach, we in Puerto Rico ❤our AM band (the number one ratings station in The Island is a 100 year-old news-talk station) and we need it if electric power fails (we got several months without power or cell phone in 2017 after an almost Cat 5 hurricane).

I WANT MY AM!!!! 😁😁😄😄

Great review! Love how Andrea matches her outfits to the different vehicles you review. This channel is now my #1 choice for car reviews.

[denault]

Zack's great on the wisecracks and of course Andrea and her clothes...so many clothes.
Great review by the way!

I thought he was doing his Swedish Chef imitation.

Love the styling of this car, but I’ve read a number of customer reviews citing reliability problems. Any feedback on reliability?
