Have had 3 D5 since 2004 and the one in my XC60 with P* is definitely the smoothest drive of all I am hoping this will continue with my latest purchase.

How it works and the power balance is well documented by Volvo on the Clubs web site. I have a whole load of PDFs but they are too big to post on a forum message. Heard today that Tesla have got a new battery out and the 0 to 60 time is down to 2.5 seconds. Awesome. Roy

I'm sorry but it is not. The longer travel, softer suspension coupled with economy biased SUV tyres means this is a chink in its armour. I wish it was as I've just got one but it's not.
