Instead of the Rivnut tool, I used:

Its a lot less than the Falcon or D-Max but its ok for now. My kids are 4 and 7 and they don't complain...yet.

It is a really nice car. I haven't had a proper "relationship" with a car in a while but there is something blossoming here lol.
CONS:
The steering feel is a little disconnected compared to the XR6T
Less immediate power/torque (falcon had 280rwkw + heaps of torque, maybe 600nm?)
Auto ok but not great
PROS:
Nicer styling, both interior and exterior
Best seats i've ever had. I had S8 RX7 seats in my KE20 and I much prefer the Volvo
Best factory stereo i've ever had. It has High Performance audio without sub but still sounds so good.
Great brakes
Not super common. I'm not a "need to see heads turning" guy at all, but its nice to have something a little unusual.

I have a diesel D-Max and its awesome on fuel. I get 8.5-8.8l/100km and thats weighing in at 2700kg.
The Volvo has to deal with quite a few short trips, which I believe are harder on a diesel than petrol motor. I could be wrong but thats what I've heard. I try and give it a good blast once a week.
