Re: Finally got to drive one (JRL)
How were the seats, Jim? I know that you and I generally share the same views on those, and to me, the Y20 platform seats I have sampled have been lacking (S80 3.2, XC70 3.2).
Man, is this going to be the replacement for my R? I started thinking this back when I first saw one in NY.
Kinda on the spendy side, and I'd really prefer the wagon instead of the SUV.
How's the Pod look, Jim?
I would imagine the nav screen would look stupid blacked out, too, although it's a perfect place to mount a Tom Tom or something Similar. If Volvo were smart, they'd make a mount that could be used to hard wire their Garmin there.
Bet it would ride nicely with a 315 HP IPD tune on it!!!

Well, not bad at all. It's the best new Volvo since my V70R and without the vices. No rear wheel hop. etc I really liked it, it sits more like a car (I hate sitting tall), it handled very well and was fairly quick. ...and very well screwed together. I liked the oversized sunroof, the general size and in fact there was nothing I didn't like about it! ![]() |
