I asked the question many years ago as why this is not applied as the std tune to all new Volvo's as its an optimisation and not a pure BHP tune.
The answer I got was that there are many different types of buyers of Volvo cars, those that look after them and those that don't. The stock tune gives a (significant) margin of abuse for those owners that don't regularly service or take care of their cars. The Optimised version was for those that do look after their cars, appreciates driving and what the optimisation does for the driving experience.
I am in the "it should be stock camp"
I posted before that when I added Polestar to my 2009 2.5T V70, it totally transformed the car, however in those days there was no multiple driving modes. My question with the modern tune, its it really noticeable in comfort mode or only active in Polestar mode?
