Your test car must must have been a unique specimen , as a fair amount of the actual owners of the D5 Inscription model have been reporting their dissatisfaction with the car fitted with the 20 " wheels with Continental tyres and the noise they produce. The Volvo forum and Swedespeed are only a few of the sites where the problem is highlighted. Volvo know there is a problem with the ride as their new XC90 "Excellence" model will have better sound insulation and will ride on the Pirelli Sound Cancelling System tyres.

This black one with standard suspension for 3 days.
The silver one had air suspension and the heads up display and I just had a long test drive. They seem to be selling quite well around here as I've seen five or six on the roads already.

Thanks Roy. Mine is ordered on standard suspension. I was starting to get a bit wound up as everyone is going on about how you have to have air suspension, but then perhaps there is not that much experience behind their opinion.

Thank you Roy and Clan for the information. With the T8 starting at £60k and then with the extras I wanted I was pushing right up to my limit on the monthly rental so I couldn't quite stretch to the air suspension as well.
I am happy for a more compliant ride with a bit more body roll than a stiffer ride with less roll. Hopefully the standard suspension will suit me fine. Out of interest, does air suspension replace the shocks or the spring or both?
