I am actually considering a V90 CC next as a change from my current V90 RDesign, so interested in the comments to the OP.

Just because powerpulse doesn't always work in D5 it doesn't mean it's not better/more powerful engine/car setup than D4. D5 actually even without powerpulse runs amazingly good. However there is just slight delay because of turbo not spooling up as fast as without PowerPulse. But the actual difference between D4/D5 regarding turbo spooling is none because both have two turbines and when powerpulse is not working both are without powerpulse logical.

Anyway, D5 still comes with better brakes, AWD, better ECU software, etc...

I do agree however, that this powerpulse issue is very annoying... But it doesn't make D5 not worth to go for IMO.
