I bought a V60 one year ago with this engine with 110,000 miles, after running a Saab Aero for 19 yrs it certainly doesn’t have the blistering acceleration I was used to. But being a diesel has a huge amount if torque low down and it will overtake but just allow more time. The best thing is the economy, it does a constant 45mpg around town and 65mpg on the motorway,I drive 25 miles each day to work and back and I get around 650 miles from a full tank. It doesn’t use any oil and is silent when cruising as it turns over at such a low rpm, its fooled my wife as she has found herself over the speed several times due to its quiet engine. And I like the power shift autobox which is smoother than my Jaguars autobox!
