I own this car. I love it so much. The heated windshield is amazing up here in Canada. Hated it too at first but just love it now that I have adjusted to it. You can pass almost anything on the road and no-one will ever expect the power it has as it's just a volvo. Also quite surprisingly good on gas on the highway at around 30mpg but atrocious around town so more of a highway cruiser if you ask me. And I love all the real buttons! So much better and safer than having a big television/fiddly touchscreen right in your feild of view. Perfect vehicle.
Nice review, But, you got the 0-100km time wrong, it's 4.9seconds - and you're actually driving a polestar software map. Also, praising the car for having adjustable steering settings (which many cars wont have). And then complaining you can't change it on the fly is a silly argument. You can easily change it at the lights.
Replace the infotainment with a modern one, put the 8 speed and T6 4 cylinder in it (already done), add more sound proofing, and tweak the ride and steering feel a little and there is no need to bother with a next gen of this vehicle. Near perfect.

This car is capable 0-60 in 5.2 sec easy ! I don’t know how this guy drives but my 2013 R design can do it all day with practically no mods.
Agreed, he got that wrong. He's also in the polestar optimized version too.
Extremely hard to find vehicle here in the US even.
