Road trip report - Beer run to Maine

I took the V60 on a short road trip this weekend to Maine Beer Company in Freeport, Maine, stopping off in Portland for food. Maine Beer Co. has been around since 2009, makes absolutely fantastic beers with minimalistic white labels (their stout, Mean Old Tom, was my favorite), and has the annoying motto "Do What's Right." We also wandered around the Portland Head Light, which has been in operation since 1791. Portland is chock-full of fantastic restaurants, breweries, and fancy third-wave coffee bars manned by mustachioed baristas, and should be a destination for any New England foodie. We had an incredible lunch at local institution Duckfat before proceeding to Freeport.

General Impressions
I'm happy to report that the V60 absolutely eats up highway miles without much to complain about. The ride was quiet with just a moderate thrum from the Dunlop winter tires, buns were kept comfortable and toasty by the amazing seats, and the base sound system was solid although not spectacular. My backseat passenger didn't have any complaints about the legroom over about 160 miles of driving, but I still wish Volvo had made the rear accommodations more spacious.

Infotainment
I did have two separate instances where the "iPod" link started to skip uncontrollably like a 1990's CD player. I needed to switch to a different source i.e. Radio, and then switch back to resume playback from my iPhone, which was hard-connected to the system via Lightning cable. The fact that it's still termed iPod is a clue to the age of Volvo's infotainment system, yet it works extremely well overall. The rightmost wheel on the center stack acts as a classic iPod clickwheel - turn to scroll through Artists, Albums, etc. and click the center buttons to select options ("OK" and "Back"). I think this system is vastly preferable to touchscreens that are both more distracting and less precise.

MPG
I achieved 26 mpg on 87-octane and drove 398 miles (~90% highway around 70 mph) before the low fuel warning came on. The EPA-estimated 29 mpg highway might be achievable in the warmer months. It's a decent performance for a heavy, AWD car in cold weather on winter fuel.

Afterthoughts
Minor victory: You can enter addresses into the navigation system while driving!!

Minor nitpick: The LCD display is totally underused while navigating. It gives you a giant arrow as you approach a turn, but doesn't provide any further info such as the street name or exit number. You have to look at the main screen for that.
