Is it just me or does the 190bhp D4 XC60 suffer from awful torque steer?

My previous 163/185 D5 s60’s behaved much better on the road but the XC is a real pain in the **** sometimes when pulling out of junctions etc. Unless you have the steering wheel dead centre it tries to wrestle itself away from you like a petulant child..

I’m guessing the AWD D5 is better in this regard but I’m very dissapointed in the xc’s road manners. This and the harsh ride has put me off getting another...
