I struggle to get my head around the fact that Volvo tweak the software on a standard car to render it sub-optimal, then charge a hefty wedge to return it back to being optimal!

Charging hundreds of Pounds extra for this and CarPlay/android-auto is just a scam to gouge more money from you and I. It is almost all profit for Volvo and their dealers.

When Polestar was initially setup it was as a totally separate trading Ltd company whose main purpose was to run a set of Volvo Super Touring cars in various European race series. But as running racing cars is always pretty good at consuming vast sums of cash, the only method Polestar “Ltd” could fund the gap in their sponsorship model team (Volvo Cars supplied Cars FOC) was to develop a revenue stream from using their software development engineers to produce a saleable drivetrain optimism program that Volvo Cars could approve and sell via their dealerships. Admittedly the accounting side has changed in the last year as Volvo Cars have brought the Optimisation Software back in-house, but it is still to provide funding to go racing with .......... and off course promote sporty cars.....!!!

Only bought it because I hated The transmission’s hesitation. It actually did improve the performance and calibration of the transmission. Never notice any difference in power performance though as its so tiny.

Hi there @VOLVOL0VER, i have xc60 2.4 5 cyl. awd with 181ps, i have seen your post about polestar-ing your car and i loved the Quote: "Life is too short and if we don't once in a while satisfy our small desires and spoil ourselves with something we care"
I just wanted to ask if you have the 6 speed auto? And if it feels better after polestar or no improvement in the gearbox? Tnx Last edited by XC60 MKD; Feb 12th, 2019 at 09:51. |
