Hi all,

Had a test drive in a '15 plate XC70 D5 this morning, must say I was a bit disppointed in it compared to my '07. Seemed to be a lot lighter and not as substantial, seats not as comfortable, leather not as nice, bit plasticky, and the engine seemed harsher than my 185 D5. Not much feedback from the steering wheel.

Obviously a lot more gizmos bells and buttons, (90% of which I'd probably never use), but on the whole not impressed.

Don't know what to look at now, the old girl ain't going to last forever...
