What would you tell Volvo to Change - Page 2

285 hp T6 engine, instead of the 238 normally aspirated petrol one.
Definitely The hand brake.
White pointer (needles) instead of the red in speedo & rev. counters.
Two additional gauges for battery and oil pressure.
Stiffer steering feel. More grip.
Thicker anti roll bars, sways on corners.
Dash plastic material, finish and details not up to par.

As others have said... simply the engine! I have a MY2010 200hp D5 and ok it's adequate but not refined at all. If it had a 6 cylinder 3.0 like my old Audi A4 had surely this would be the perfect car. Other than that I can't really fault it, love the design, comfortable, safe, brilliant as a family car.

Parking brake....useless and horrible.

Panoramic sunroof.

Ditch the draw-bridge style boot. Dog can't jump in for some reason.

Never had trrouble with dog getting in boot ( 4 different dogs over time)
Would agree on foot brake even tho I have geartronic and hardly ever use except to ensure rust does not build up on drum and will pass MOT.

Rear Wheel Drive with the front kicking in for the AWD when needed.
