Default Back in an xc70.

After stupidly selling my last 2005 low mileage xc70 d5 m66 i realised I'd made a mistake so I've now bought a ph3 .First impressions a week in are mixed.Doesnt feel as well made but has more tech and looks nicer.Its very soft and floaty compared to my 2005 and at present doesn't go as well( old one was a euro3 163 with turbo back exhaust,intercooler,egr delete and a shark map) .This is surprising as I've bought the d5 205 m66 but i guess its heavier.Looking at map options now shark have gone.Currenty fitted a face lift rear ,Odysseus wheels and various bits of trim that were damaged or missing.Just need to remember how to upload pictures now!

Does your XC70 have the 4C adjustable suspension? Mine has and I only use it in the hard "Advanced" setting unless I am crossing seriously rough terrain or speed bumps. Consequently I find that it is not at all floaty for most of its use and when it is, I know why.

Have a look at Polestar upgrades, I have had 2no XC70s done and the most recent is MY16. Its well worth it imho, and heavily discounted at NE Main Dealers at present

Kind of wished my car had 4c but I think I read somewhere that the 4c dampers didn't like towing too much and that is why I bought it.I enquire at the dealers in the next few days about the polestar map.
