Been driving the C70 for two days now. Nice car I have to say. And no lag?

How is Volvo able to not have any discernible lag on this car? It's just a smooth transition when hammering the throttle from a stop.

Along with how the 5 speed auto works. It instantly adapts to my agressive driving. The Tip takes _forever_ to remap. This auto is smooth and then gets harder and faster the harder you push the car. Exactly how it should be. What gives?

Default Is it the LPT or the HPT? I looked at HPT C70 Coupe and it had an ton of lag.

Of course that made it more fun in the test drive. Too bad its FWD and very hard to get in manual trans. The quality of the leatherwork was excellenet.

Default Well it definitly has 236hp and 247ft lbs. you can feel it!

Yes the interior is beautiful. Fit and finish, the leather, the thick steering wheel.

Default

I also test drove one. Crazy lag with the auto. You must have gotten the V8 version.

Default I have been driving the S60 for the past few days, the engine is not bad at all

It's 2.4T definitely gives out some good torque, didn't feel much turbo lag either. But I am disappointed at the auto shift, it takes too long. And the interior looks more like a ford, a lot of plastic like materials.
