What is your car specifically ? Also manual or auto ? Thanks.

2014 XC70 D5 auto

Not noticed any change in mpg - guess it’s gone down as I’m still at the playing stage 😂. Consumption on the motorway seems more or less what it was.

The difference to mid-range acceleration is phenomenal, the car really has loads more urge, and it wasn’t a slouch before.

Can’t advise on gear changes on mine, don’t think it makes a difference, however I had a total software update at the same time.

I'm thinking that my MPG might be slightly better - it's certainly not worse and I'm driving with more, erm, vigour shall we say..

Polestar added
 

Just wanted to say thank you to Lloyds Volvo, had the Polestar option and the remote start added a week or two ago. The remap is brilliant, gear changes are much smoother and seamless, holds gear well if you’re making progress. Is it worth the full price, I suspect not. But at the price Lloyds were offering, very much so.
