2.0d is only TRUELY fast uphill between 20-and 55mph. After that, a big lack of bhp will be evident by looking at the speedo. Still atleast the torque is always there as a nice placebo! You really have to love 4th gear, everyone seems to comment it. It'll pull perfectly from 30mph and keep going to 109! |

The ESP is pretty good actually, you can feel a lot more going on when you turn it off (although it's never truly off just set at a higher threshold) It usually only cuts in jerkily when things get really out of hand. The S40 is a very similar weight to the Ford Focus anyway, so I doubt there's any real measurable performance difference aside from the effect of different gear ratios being used. I think there's real world quick and circuit quick, you don't want to be driving like a madman most of the time, making quick progress without having to try too hard is quite nice too. I could drive around revving to 3000rpm in a fairly relaxed way that would make a honda Civic tyre R driver have to work pretty hard, it's being quick-ish in the real world and relaxed that's the trick I reckon |
